LyriXcope

LyriXcope is a simple Node.js library that allows you to scrape song lyrics from lyrics.com with ease. A Lyrics.com account is required.

Installation

Install LyriXcope using NPM:

npm i lyrixcope

Usage

To use LyriXcope, simply include and configure it in your project and call the getSongLyrics(song, artist) function. Here's an example:

const { configureLyrixcope, getSongLyrics } = require("lyrixcope");

async function main() {
  configureLyrixcope("user_id", "api_key");
  const songData = await getSongLyrics("a man without love");
  console.log(songData);
}

main();

This will output:

  lyrics: "I can remember when we walked together\n
  Sharing a love I thought would last forever\n
  Moonlight to show the way so we can follow\n
  Waiting inside her eyes was my tomorrow\n
  Then something changed her mind, her kisses told me\n
  I had no lovin' arms to hold me\n\n
  Every day I wake up, then I start to break up\n
  Lonely is a man without love\n
  Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out\n
  Lonely is a man without love\n\n
  Every day I wake up, then I start to break up\n
  Knowing that it's cloudy above\n
  Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out\n
  Lonely is a man without love\n\n
  I cannot face this world that's fallen down on me\n
  So, if you see my girl, please send her home to me\n
  Tell her about my heart that's slowly dying\n
  Say I can't stop myself from crying\n\n
  Every day I wake up, then I start to break up\n
  Lonely is a man without love\n
  Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out\n
  Lonely is a man without love\n\n
  Every day I wake up, then I start to break up\n
  Knowing that it's cloudy above\n
  Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out\n
  Lonely is a man without love\n\n
  Every day I wake up, then I start to break up\n
  Lonely is a man without love\n
  Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out\n
  Lonely is a man without love"
}
