Tiny Desk

My Tiny Desk Concert search: http://tiny-desk.com/

This is a basic text matching filter I've created from the data on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert website.

GAS Stack Integration

I'm using Google Apps Scripts to automate a Twitter bot (www.twitter.com/TinyDeskBot) to tweet out a random Tiny Desk Concert every four hours.

The data is coming from the Node.js program I wrote (not currently public yet) to scrape the NPR Music website for their archive of Tiny Desk concerts.

I am doing this manually and copy/pasting the large data set over into the data.gs file, but I'd like to automate this process in the future.

My Motivation

NPR made available an archive which organizes concerts by year and month, but if you want to search by artist you have to use NPR's main search which also searches news articles and things unrelated to Tiny Desk.

I hope you like my creation! There's always room for improvements. If you'd like to add a suggestion, my email is [email protected]

Or, if you'd like to throw me a few 💸 (dollars) of appreciation, feel free to buy me a coffee ☕️ or sponsor me on GitHub
