Do you want to scrape lyrics from a website?

tmthyjames commented 6 years ago

Hey! Yep. I was about to upload my scraping script now. I was using lyrics.wikia.com. I'd love to use a site that has an API though.

I see. The few sites with an API do not give you the full lyrics though, so your scraping script will probably be the best bet. An example is musixmatch where the free version only returns 30% of the lyrics.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I'll probably end up going with the lyrics.wikia scraper. That site seems to be the most comprehensive.
