Lyricurator

A bot that scrapes the internet for song lyrics, song names and artists. This program can be either used as a CLI tool to add lyrics to your terminal, or it can be linked with a Twitter account and tweet lyrics automatically.

Usage

After cloning this repository, you can run lyricurator in its most simple mode of operation with the CLI argument -nt/--notwitter which will print random lyrics in the terminal.

In order to send lyrics to Twitter, you have to add the following credentials to the file auth.json.

Then you can start lyricurator with the -t/--twitter argument and a tweet will be sent.

* You can learn more about how to get your own Twitter application credentials by following this guide's first 2 steps.

* Note that it's mandatory to use one of -nt ,-la,-ls,-hs,-hal,or -t. The rest of the CLI arguments are optional.

CLI arguments you can use or combine:

• -t/--twitter tweet lyrics to linked Twitter account in auth.json.
• -nt/--notwitter prints lyrics to the console instead of tweeting them.
• -la/--listartists gets a list of all available artists starting by a letter selected as argument.
• -a/--artist specifies artist to get lyrics for.
• -fs/--fullsong prints the entire lyrics of a song to the console.
• -ls/--listsongs lists all songs for random or user-selected artists.
• -i/--interval prints/tweets lyrics at specified interval in minutes
• -hal/--hotalbums prints a list of current hot albums.
