Overview
Content creators and music labels need to aggregate analytics from multiple streaming platforms — Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, and others. Each platform has its own dashboard with different layouts and export formats. Manually logging in to each one and downloading reports is time-consuming and error-prone.
Refrain automates the entire flow: log in, navigate to the analytics page, apply date filters, and export the data.
Example runbook
name : streaming-analytics-export
url : https://analytics.example-music.com/login
variables :
- name : username
source : secrets
- name : password
source : secrets
- name : date_range
source : fixed
value : "last-30-days"
steps :
- action : input
selector : "#email"
value : "{{ username }}"
- action : input
selector : "#password"
value : "{{ password }}"
- action : click
selector : "#signIn"
- action : wait
selector : ".dashboard"
- action : click
selector : "[data-range='{{ date_range }}']"
- action : wait
timeout : 2000
- action : download
selector : ".export-csv-button"
Generate and execute
Generate the runbook
npx @refrainai/cli generate -- \
--url https://analytics.example-music.com/login \
--goal "Log in, select last 30 days, and download the analytics CSV" \
--context ./context.md \
--output ./streaming-report.yaml
Execute and download
npx @refrainai/cli execute -- \
--runbook ./streaming-report.yaml \
--secrets ./secrets.json \
--output-dir ./reports
Merge multiple platforms
Run separate runbooks for each platform and use --merge-downloads to combine CSV exports: npx @refrainai/cli execute -- \
--runbook ./youtube-report.yaml \
--output-dir ./reports \
--merge-downloads
