Spotify Charts Scraper – A Shiny App to Retrieve Daily Top 200 Spotify Charts with Audio Features in Real-Time

In making that kind of data retrieval more accessible, this open-source web app dynamically retrieves all available daily top 200 Spotify charts of each country (or geographic region) and each date with audio features for each song in real-time. Hence, large datasets are retrievable and downloadable as a CSV file with only a few clicks so that further analyses with any statistical computing software are possible.
