Audio Scraper

Scrape audio from various websites with a simple command-line interface.

Install

First make sure Python and pip are installed, then run:

pip install audioscrape

Usage

audioscrape "acoustic guitar"

See audioscrape --help for more details.

Python API

You could also use the scraper directly in Python, as:

import audioscrape

audioscrape.download(query='Cerulean Crayons', 
                     include=['guitar'],
                     exclude=['remix'],
                     quiet=True)

SoundCloud API key and download limits

This program uses SoundCloud's official Python API which requires a registered API key. SoundCloud says an API key can be used for 15,000 requests per any 24-hour time window, and a key has been included in the program. However, in case the key stops working, register another one as described by SoundCloud here, and use the scraper after setting the environment variable SOUNDCLOUD_API_KEY, as SOUNDCLOUD_API_KEY="your_key" audioscrape "piano music".
