Wacken 2018 Band Parser

Python scraper tracks metal festival lineup additions in real-time

Today I decided to write a quick script to parse the bands who are confirmed for the Wacken Open Air 2018 festival. I am still not sure if I will do much else with it, but thinking it could be interesting to improve the code to send an email every time a new band is added, what do you think?

The repo for the project -> https://github.com/dansku/wacken_parser

The response is a JSON file like:

1
2
3
