So, I took the “tall order” as a challenge. I’d already discovered that music APIs would not have the information I needed, as genres for musicals are limited to “show tunes” or “broadway”, which would not give me more specific information like the particular genre or style of the musical. If I wanted to recommend musicals to people, I’d need to get a lot of information about how the musical sounds, its mood/genre, and what it’s about.īack to my teacher’s comment. Unfortunately, upon looking up “musical theatre api” on Google the first result was an article talking about the lack of theatre APIs (this may be different at the time you are reading this article). For some time, I had wanted to build out a version of Spotify just for musical theatre. I was working on a side project that would involve getting a LOT of data on Broadway musicals (my interests are diverse). This is the (highly paraphrased) message I received from an instructor about 2 months ago. I'd suggest looking at the iTunes API first to see if you can get what you need”. “You could build a web scraper, but that’s a tall order.
