Eurovision Song Contest web scrapped data in R.
The goal of escR is to provide the scores, votes and general information of each Eurovision Song Contest event.
The Eurovision Song Contest is organised yearly by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), together with the Host Broadcaster and some 40 Participating Broadcasters.
Each participating broadcaster that represents their country chooses their performer (maximum 6 people) and song (maximum 3 minutes, not released before) through a national televised selection, or through an internal selection. Each country is free to decide if they send their number-1 star or the best new talent they could find.
The winner of the Eurovision Song Contest will be chosen through 2 Semi-Finals and a Grand Final. Traditionally, 6 countries are automatically pre-qualified for the Grand Final. The so-called Big 5 — France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom — and the host country. From each Semi-Final, the best 10 will proceed to the Grand Final.
After all songs have been performed, each country will give two sets of 1 to 8, 10 and 12 points; one set given by a jury of five music industry professionals, and one set given by viewers at home. Viewers can vote by telephone, SMS and through the official app.
Only those countries who take part in the respective Semi-Final vote, along with 3 of the 6 pre-qualified countries. Which countries take part and vote in which Semi-Final is determined by the so-called Semi-Final Allocation Draw in late January.
In the Grand Final, juries and viewers from all participating countries can vote again, after the 26 finalists have performed.
The winner will perform once again, and take home the iconic glass microphone trophy. The winning country will traditionally be given the honour of hosting the next Eurovision Song Contest.
