bandcampWrapped
Bandcamp Wrapped It's Spotify Wrapped, but for Bandcamp! . Bandcamp is for people who buy their music and probably most of them hoard MP3s. Like me. And this val helps those people
turn their Bandcamp purchases of 2024 into HTML or Markdown suitable for blog posts on their blogs, which is probably a segment that has some overlap with the people who are
wacky enough to buy their music instead of streaming it from some service. Because Bandcamp doesn't have an API, this hinges on you going to your purchases page, copying the purchases, and pasting it in. Thanks to
the ability of the system clipboard to contain HTML , the same technology that makes
copy-and-pasted text have unpredictable and annoying font and boldness choices also lets this parse and reformat that purchases page into something
shareable. I would love for this to support embeds as well, but I haven't found a strategy yet:
Bandcamp embeds use album IDs in the URLs,
which are not exposed in the content on the purchases page. I'd have to scrape Bandcamp for that, which
would probably inevitably be blocked by some 'bot protection' system. Also read about this on macwright.com .

getSpotifyTrackUrl
getSpotifyTrackUrl Get a Spotify Track Url using the Spotify Web API given an artist and a song title.

const reni = await getSpotifyTrackUrl("Stone Roses", "Fools Gold");
const ian = await getSpotifyTrackUrl("Joy Division", "Love Will Tear Us Apart");
const kim = await getSpotifyTrackUrl("Pixies", "Velouria");
