Hi All,
Good Evening. I enjoy compilation albums. Examples include Music, Max Series like Max 4 and Max 6, etc. The issue is that on music streaming platforms such as Amazon Music and others, compilations aren't purchased together but as individual tracks. My goal is to create these compilations on those sites as personal playlists. I plan to use web-scraping with Selenium and the Amazon Music Playlist API to build playlists automatically instead of manually adding songs one by one. Would anyone have tried this approach?
I also face challenges with authenticating my credentials before accessing the playlist API. Amazon uses REST for exposing the API. I'm using POSTMAN for handling POST and GET requests. All your inputs are welcome. Thanks.

What problem are you having with authenticating? Probably better to use a library if possible, I'm sure one exists somewhere. But if you are using Selenium WebDriver you shouldn't need to mess with the REST API at all assuming there's no CAPTCHA on the login. You can also just manually extract your cookie from your browser and throw it in with every API request.
