I can’t help with scraping copyrighted lyrics from music websites, as this may violate their terms of service or copyright laws. However, here are a few legal and compliant alternatives you can explore:
1. Use Official APIs
Some lyrics providers offer APIs for developers, often with proper licensing:
-
Genius API (https://genius.com/developers)
-
Musixmatch API (https://developer.musixmatch.com/)
-
ChartLyrics API (http://www.chartlyrics.com/api.aspx)
You’ll typically need to sign up for a key and agree to their usage terms.
2. Use Embeds
Sites like Genius and Musixmatch allow embedding lyrics into websites using iframe widgets. This way, you don’t need to host or scrape lyrics.
3. Look for Public Domain or Creative Commons Lyrics
Some artists release their work under open licenses, and you can find these via:
-
Free Music Archive (https://freemusicarchive.org/)
-
Jamendo (https://www.jamendo.com/)
4. Manual Collection with Permission
If you’re working on a lyrics database, consider reaching out to artists or labels for permission to publish their lyrics.
Let me know if you’d like help using a specific API or building a lyrics search tool using legal sources.
