Bandcamp wishlist from api

[snus-kin]

This works for me at least, not really 100% sure about the initial token generation, would be nice to have track list length etc.

this having :0: doesn't replicate the real request a browser makes, but still works. Not really sure what that number is in the API request but it works still...

[snus-kin]

It's the ID of the last album in the initial html document, so it can probably stay as 0 but might look at seeing how hard it is to just parse it out of it as we already make the request.

Same issue for me as mentioned in #145, as it still relies on extracting the fan id from the html. I'm often blocked because the client fails bandcamp's challenge due to lack of js.

A solution would probably have to rely exclusively on the API.

I guess this is cloudflare or a similar portal type thing? Probably you'll see the same issue with the API. Didn't want to make this properly published for similar reasons of general stability. Deal with this a bunch at work and don't think just running with a headless browser will fix that particular issue.

Seems that way. Artist retrieval is giving me the same response even though it uses the mobile api.

I've had issues with bandcamp scraping in the past and I was able to resolve them with cloudscraper, although that's a python package. Not sure if it still works or if there is an equivalent in c#.

Yeah at work we use a proxy service, scraping from BC will really rely on what your home network is like I guess. Especially if you're running this code on a datacentre IP (vps etc) I bet it'll be bad.
