Scraper detects the "artist_url", but fails to fetch any tracks, due to the traktrain website update.

edit: "tracks-container" id is missing on the new website, think that is causing the downloader to fail.

Hello, apologies for the lack of response on this issue, I haven't done any Ruby programming for quite some time now, so I haven't attempted to fix this problem on ScrapeTrain. I can't really say when I'll get around to updating this script, however, I've been building a new browser-based app which you can try out as an alternative if you'd like - https://beet-harvester.netlify.app/ - image attached for rough guide on how to use it.

Please keep in mind this is just a silly fun project for me, so it doesn't get much time dedicated to it and as such it's far from perfect (doesn't have ID3 tagging, mobile view isn't great etc), but should get you by for now. I am happy to take on suggestions and hopefully will be making the code public soon!  

@bleedingvoice You are correct - TrakTrain have pushed out a small design overhaul which was enough to break the scraper. Unfortunately this will always be a potential problem with this type scraper, as it relies on scanning the webpage's HTML, making it very sensitive to changes. One day they may expose some form of API which I can hook into instead, and this shouldn't be as much of an issue.

@qppaepok Finally got you a tool which will download from Beatstars, just 2 years late... 🤣

SimpleRoger commented 3 years ago

Hey man is there a way to automatically download all new beats from a certain producer and then find the bpm and key of that beat, and then organise it into a folder (named with bpm and key??)
