Tacklebox

This is a python script to give you a CLI for accessing the phish.net API.

Requirements

1. This was developed in Python 3.7.4

2. You need a phish.net API key. If you have an account on .net these are free, just go to https://api.phish.net/keys/ and sign up for one. Once you have your key, put it in a text file named api.txt in the same directory as the script.

3. You will need to get Beautiful Soup 4. This can be done via pip:

   pip install beautifulsoup4

How to use

If you just run the following command, it will return a random setlist:

python tacklebox.py

There is the --latest flag that will return the most recent Phish show:

python tacklebox.py --latest

The --date flag can bring back a specific show. Dates need to be formatted as YYYY-MM-DD. Example below:

python tacklebox.py --date=2000-06-24

The --previous flag will bring back the last show returned by Tacklebox.

python tacklebox.py --previous

The --jemp flag will check to see what's playing on JEMP Radio and if it's Phish it will bring back the setlist for the entire show.

python tacklebox.py --jemp

The --tiph flag will bring back the Today In Phish History setlist

python tacklebox.py --tiph

The --progress flag will bring back the setlist for an in progress show, if one isn't in progress it returns the most recent show.

python tacklebox.py --progress

The --jamchart flag will now bring back a show that has a jamcharts certified version of the song you're looking for, if it exists. If none exists it will bring back a random show. Songs should be in double quotes

python tacklebox.py --jamchart="Runaway Jim"

The --year flag will bring back a random show from the year provided. If they didn't play that year a random show is chosen

python tacklebox.py --year=2000

To do

1. I'm sure there are some bugs and oddities. As I find them I will fix them.
2. JEMP seems to work fine for individual songs, might need to add different parsing for full shows.
3. I might add some more flags for different API calls as I dig into it more.
4. Be able to check phish.in to see if the show exists before I display the link out to it.

Thank you for looking at my project. Enjoy the music
