Musixmatch is the world's largest catalog of song lyrics and translations. The service is used by millions of people around the world to find lyrics for songs playing around them, to translate lyrics, and to get the facts behind the songs.
This is a Python wrapper for the Musixmatch API. It uses the community API key to make requests to the API. These requests have the the same access as a Plus plan but for free.
You can basically query for any lyrics and translation from their API, a more detailed list can be viewed here: Musixmatch API Documentation.
First, you need to install the package:
pip install musicxmatch_apiSearch for artists
# If you need to make a high volume of requests, consider using proxies
from musicxmatch_api import MusixMatchAPI
api = MusixMatchAPI(proxies=proxies)
search = api.search_artist("adele")Search for songs
# If you need to make a high volume of requests, consider using proxies
import json
from musicxmatch_api import MusixMatchAPI
api = MusixMatchAPI()
search = api.search_tracks("skyfall")
print(json.dumps(search, indent=4))Search for a specific song to get its lyrics
# If you need to make a high volume of requests, consider using proxies
from musicxmatch_api import MusixMatchAPI
track_id = 103149239 # Skyfall by Adele
api = MusixMatchAPI(proxies=proxies)
search = api.get_track_lyrics(track_id=track_id)
# The lyrics are in the "lyrics_body" key
lyrics = search["message"]["body"]["lyrics"]["lyrics_body"]Strvm/musicxmatch-api: a reverse engineered API wrapper for MusicXMatch
