New Endpoint: <playlist_id>/analysis/lyrics #11

Open nleroy917 opened 4 years ago

Create a new endpoint to conduct the lyrical analysis fo the songs. This will be utilizing the LyricsGenius project. The idea is to take a track, identify the artist, scrape the lyrics, and then return a JSON object that has each word (or the top few) sung in the songs, with associated counts for each word.

Required Params: Spotify Playlist ID Number Headers: Authorization: <access_token> Route: <playlist_id>/analysis/lyrics Return Type: JSON Object Format: {word1: 40, word2: 19, word3: 87, ... }

This word count object can then be coupled to the tag-cloud package from npm that integrates nicely with React.

Endpoint added with commit 38e829fe403438789ea9e1e534b37db6ed7ba4dd. However, the front-end doesnt want to display the data like I want, so I might need to change the formatting of the return payload from the API. Will keep open for now.

Got front end to display lyrics nicely. It can be slow, however, and I know for a fact it wont hold up if may users are requesting at once - I need to find a better solution.

I found this API/Database that might help me out https://developer.musixmatch.com/documentation/api-reference/track-lyrics-get
