geniURL

Simple JSON and XML REST API to search for song metadata, the lyrics URL and lyrics translations on genius.com
Authorization is not required. Obtaining actual lyrics sadly isn't possible.

Documentation:

The full documentation is available on this page: https://api.sv443.net/geniurl/v2/docs/
It will explain everything you need to know about using the REST API.



Try it:

For trying out geniURL yourself, you can use this Postman workspace.
To download it and test locally, hover over the collection, click the three-dot-menu, then click "Export".



Local setup:

To set up geniURL locally, follow these steps:

  1. Install Node.js (current or LTS) and make sure npm is installed by running npm -v
  2. Install pnpm (can be done by running npm i -g pnpm)
  3. Clone or download and extract this repository
  4. Run pnpm i in the project directory to install dependencies
  5. Copy .env.template to .env and fill in the required values
    The genius.com API key can be obtained by creating an API client here
  6. Run pnpm start to start the REST server
    Alternatively, run pnpm dev to start the server and automatically recompile and restart when the code is changed.
    If you want to start the documentation as well, make sure HOST_HOMEPAGE is set to true in .env, then run pnpm dev-all.
  7. Check out the scripts in package.json for a list of all commands

I recommend using a process manager like PM2 to keep the server running in the background, make it automatically restart on crashes and start on system boot.

Minor modifications to the server's behavior can be made in the file src/constants.ts
