Grabbing Music Lyric as a GEN AI dataset

0Comments
 
So we have a mission to get lyrics for a music. Here are some APIs we can use to fetch song lyrics:

  1. Lyrics.ovh API — Public APIs. A simple and free API that allows you to retrieve lyrics by providing the artist's name and song title. It's easy to integrate and provides JSON responses.

  2. Lyrics & Music API | API.This API offers advanced features, including searching by lyrics, artist, or album. It also supports text-only searches and provides detailed metadata.

  3. Song Lyrics APIs: A collection of various lyrics APIs, including Genius and Shazam, which provide detailed song information, including lyrics and metadata

:et's use C# codes and Here's a step-by-step guide to set up and use the API in your project:

1. Understand the API

  • The API is a simple, free API that allows you to fetch song lyrics by providing the artist's name and song title.

  • It returns a JSON response containing the lyrics.

2. Set Up Your Development Environment

  • Ensure you have a development environment ready. For C#, you can use Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code.

  • Install the necessary tools, such as the .NET SDK, if you're working with C#.

3. Make an HTTP Request

  • Use an HTTP client library to make requests to the API. In C#, you can use HttpClient from the System.Net.Http namespace.

4. Write the Code

Here's a basic example in C# to fetch lyrics:

using System; using System.Net.Http; using System.Threading.Tasks; class Program { static async Task Main(string[] args) { string artist = "Ed Sheeran"; string title = "Shape of You"; using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient()) { string url = $"https://api.lyrics.ovh/v1/{artist}/{title}"; try { HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(url); response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode(); string responseBody = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); Console.WriteLine($"Lyrics: {responseBody}"); } catch (HttpRequestException e) { Console.WriteLine($"Request error: {e.Message}"); } } } }
 

5. Test the Application

  • Run the application and check the console output for the lyrics.

6. Enhance the Application

  • Add error handling for cases where lyrics are not found.

  • Create a user interface if you're building a desktop or web application.
