4Lyrics
A webscraper to parse and return lyrics from different sites. No API keys required!
Benefits (over main branch)
- Only 3 dependencies.
- Uses
xpath
andxmldom
instead of Cheerio and its dependencies. - Has (hopefully) functional typings for TypeScript users (v2.0.2).
- Much cleaner and lighter than master branch.
- Versatile; easily adaptable to other sites.
- Removed Lyricslive module entirely as the site is now defunct.
songlyrics.com
is added in place.
Quick-start
const { MusixMatch, AzLyrics, SongLyricsCom, LyricsCom } = require('./lib/musixmatch');
const M = new MusixMatch();
const A = new AzLyrics();
const S = new SongLyricsCom();
const L = new LyricsCom();
(async () => {
// musixmatch
const m_u = await M.fetchURLs('Boston more than a feeling');
const m_l = await M.fetchLyrics(m_u[0]);
// azlyrics
const a_u = await A.fetchURLs('Boston more than a feeling');
const a_l = await A.fetchLyrics(a_u[0]);
// songlyrics.com
const s_u = await S.fetchURLs('Boston more than a feeling');
const s_l = await S.fetchLyrics(s_u[0]);
// lyrics.com
const l_u = await L.fetchURLs('Boston more than a feeling');
const l_l = await L.fetchLyrics(l_u[0]);
})();
Note
- If no lyrics or URLs are found, an empty array is returned.
- Musixmatch is recommended for search accuracy and lyric accuracy.
WIP
- Options (URL limits, etc.).
