About

musicscrape is a small C++ library for scraping Bandcamp and Youtube web pages.

musicscrape by itself doesn't do any HTTP requests, it will just tell you which web page to download, and parse the resulting HTML. Combine with your favorite HTTP library to see some action!

QMusicScrape is a small Qt wrapper that will take care of running the required HTTP requests for you.

musicscrape uses Gumbo for HTTP Parsing and RapidJSON for JSON Parsing.

Dependencies

• libc
• C++ STL
• QMusicScrape: Qt 5.6 or higher

Example

std::string searchUrl = ScrapeBandcamp::searchUrl("cloudkicker");
std::string html = httpGet(searchUrl);  // your favorite HTTP library here!
std::vector<ScrapeBandcamp::Result> searchResults = ScrapeBandcamp::searchResult(html);

for (const ScrapeBandcamp::Result &result : results) {
    if (result.resultType == ScrapeBandcamp::Result::Band) 
        std::cout << result.bandName << std::endl;
    else if (result.resultType == ScrapeBandcamp::Result::Album) {
        std::cout << result.bandName << " " << result.albumName;
    else if (result.resultType == ScrapeBandcamp::Result::Track)
        std::cout << result.bandName << " " << result.albumName << " " << result.trackNum << " " << result.trackName << std::endl;
}
