Good to hear, ChaVarilla!
Happy Learning!

As of October 2025, this code is working as attended for everyone reference

import requests

import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyOAuth
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

soup = BeautifulSoup(site_html, features='html.parser')

top_100_list = [songs.text.strip().replace('\n', '').replace('\t', '') for songs in top_100]

#print(top_100_list)

sp.playlist_add_items(playlist_id=playlist['id'], `items=song_uris)```

I believe struggling to understand the API document is a benefit, Learning happen best when struggling lol.

I think now the billboard is only giving list to subscribers

PLEASE I NEED HELP WHY THIS CODE DOESN'T WORK FOR ME?

import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import spotipy from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyOAuth

CLIENT_ID = "9067a23713c34ea68d7276265816c720" CLIENT_SECRET = "334e6b70064546b092ad6b355ec171db"

url = "https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/"

date = input("Which year do you want to travel to? Type the date in this Format YY-MM-DD.")

response = requests.get(f"{url}{date}") web = response.text

soup = BeautifulSoup(web, "html.parser")

musics = soup.find_all("h3", "a-no-trucate") music_titles = [] for music in musics: title = music.get_text().strip() music_titles.append(title)

sp = spotipy.Spotify( auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth( scope="playlist-modify-private", redirect_uri="http://example.com", client_id=CLIENT_ID, client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET, show_dialog=True, cache_path="token.txt" ) )

user_id = sp.current_user()["id"]

song_uris = [] year = date.split("-")[0] for song in music_titles: result = sp.search(q=f"track:{song} year:{year}", type="track") # print(result) # print("space\n\n") try: uri = result["tracks"]["items"][0] song_uris.append(uri) except IndexError: print(f"{song} doesn't exist in Spotify. Skipped.")

Creating a new private playlist in Spotify

playlist = sp.user_playlist_create(user=user_id, name=f"{date} Billboard 100", public=False) print(playlist)

Adding songs found into the new playlist

sp.playlist_add_items(playlist_id=playlist['id'], items=song_uris)

print(playlist['id'])

It didn't work because you didn't target the "uri". Note what you did:

uri = result["tracks"]["items"][0] instead:
uri = result["tracks"]["items"][0]["uri"]
