Adding features to "similar artists" script

[diegantobass]

Bonjour,

I just wanted to let you know that I've stumbled on your collection of cool scripts, and I'm adding a couple of things to the similar artists one.

Intended features list :

• passing a csv file of artists as input
• scraping number of listeners, genres and description
• deepen the crawl: scraping the similar artists of the similar artists
• adding an .gexf output: a proper network file that can then be visualized with other tools

Thanks for your work on this, Diego

And I intend on presenting you with a proper pull request at some point :)

Hi! I won't be working on this much more. The description requires scraping another page and has no real world use case for me right now. I'm preparing the PR.
