Get Started
- Install the
broadcastify-archtk
package. It’s hosted on pyPI.org, so you can usepip install broadcastify-archtk
- Get a Selenium WebDriver. Selenium is a browser automator the toolkit uses to interact with Broadcastify’s archive navigation page. You’ll need to download the WebDriver for your chosen browser.
- All testing for the toolkit is done with the Chrome WebDriver, so it’s strongly recommended.
- Get a Broadcastify premium account. Although the toolkit can browse and build the list of archive entries without one, access to find and download archive audio files is behind a paywall. For $15, you can get 180 days of premium access.
