Artist Email-Scraper

Requirements:

• The specified artists must be read in via the command line

• If no artist(s) are specified do not send an email

• If the specified artist(s) are not found on the website, do not send an email

• If the specified artist(s) are found on the website:

– Send an email from an email account of your choice, to an email account of your choice (when I am testing this, I will input my own accounts for this portion)

– The subject will be: “Your artist(s) are: ” followed by a list of the artist(s). Be sure to format this portion correctly i.e. if the user specifies node artists Drake Migos xxxtentacion your subject should be: Your artists are: Migos, Drake, and xxxtentacion

– The email format should be the artist in bold and the song name in italics, see below
