Scraping-Billboard-100

Billboard to Spotify Playlist Creator

This project is a Python script that scrapes the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a specified date and creates a Spotify playlist with the top songs from that chart. The application uses BeautifulSoup for web scraping and Spotipy for interacting with the Spotify API.
