bandcamp-update

import feedparser import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import time

Enter the bandcamp URL of the artist you want to track

bandcamp_url = 'https://artistname.bandcamp.com/'

Enter the URL for the RSS feed service you are going to use to receive updates

rss_feed_url = 'https://www.example.com/rss'

Define the headers for the requests

headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.3'}

Initialize the parser

d = feedparser.FeedParserDict()

Get the links for the music from the Bandcamp page

def get_links_from_page(url): response = requests.get(url, headers=headers) soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser') href_list = [] for a in soup.find_all('a', href=True): if '/track/' in a['href']: href_list.append('https://'+a['href'][2:]) return href_list

Process the links and format them into RSS items

def process_links(href_list): items_content = '' for href in href_list: name = href.split('/')[-1].replace('-', ' ').title() items_content += f'<item><title>New Music from {name}</title><link>{href}</link><description>New music released by {name}. Check it out!</description></item>' return items_content

Loop through and update for new content
