To upload audio retrieved from BBC Radio 4 schedules to the Internet Archive using their API, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Retrieve and Save Audio

First, ensure you have the audio files saved locally.

Step 2: Set Up the Internet Archive API

You will need your Internet Archive credentials (username and password).

Step 3: Install Required Libraries

Ensure you have the requests library installed:

pip install requests

Step 4: Use Python to Upload Audio and Transcripts

Here is an example script to upload audio to the Internet Archive:

import requests

# Your Internet Archive credentials
username = 'YOUR_ARCHIVE_USERNAME'
password = 'YOUR_ARCHIVE_PASSWORD'

# The file you want to upload
audio_file_path = 'path/to/your/audio.mp3'
transcript_file_path = 'path/to/your/transcript.txt'

# Metadata
metadata = {
    'collection': 'opensource_audio',
    'title': 'Your Audio Title',
    'description': 'A description of your audio.',
    'creator': 'Your Name',
    'subject': 'Subject Tags',
    'licenseurl': 'http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/'
}

# Create session
session = requests.Session()
session.auth = (username, password)

# Upload audio file
files = {
    'file': open(audio_file_path, 'rb')
}
response = session.put(f'https://s3.us.archive.org/{metadata["title"]}/{audio_file_path}', files=files)
print(response.status_code, response.text)

# Upload transcript file
files = {
    'file': open(transcript_file_path, 'rb')
}
response = session.put(f'https://s3.us.archive.org/{metadata["title"]}/{transcript_file_path}', files=files)
print(response.status_code, response.text)

# Submit metadata
metadata_url = f'https://archive.org/metadata/{metadata["title"]}'
response = session.post(metadata_url, data=metadata)
print(response.status_code, response.text)

Step 5: Running the Script

Replace placeholder values with your actual data, save the script, and run it:

python upload_to_archive.py

This script will upload both your audio file and transcript to the Internet Archive, including the metadata.
