Hi, does anyone know of a script to input genre from the AOTY site? I love their genre tagging but going to each artist or album and manually putting them in is a time-consuming chore for me.

Do we have any awesome script writers here? 🙂 Thanks!

This will be tricky because of their "[Terms of use](https://www.albumoftheyear.org/terms-of-use/)":

As long as you don't get their written permission, it would not be legal to "Systematically retrieve data or other content from the Services to create or compile, directly or indirectly, a collection, compilation, database, or directory without written permission from us [ATOY]."

In addition, it seems that they do not provide an API. Scraping the original HTML website would be very time-consuming and would break easily with every design change.
