lrclib-api

lrclib-api is a TypeScript-based wrapper for the lrclib.net API, designed to fetch song lyrics and metadata. It supports both plain and synchronized lyrics, providing a simple and type-safe interface for integration with your music applications.


  • Retrieve song lyrics by track name, artist name, and album name.
  • Supports both plain (unsynced) and synchronized (timed) lyrics.
  • Handles instrumental tracks gracefully.
  • Provides metadata such as track name, artist, album, and duration.
  • Fully type-safe with TypeScript.

Install the package via npm:

npm install lrclib-api

const { findLyrics, getSynced, getUnsynced } = require("lrclib-api");

(async() => {
const query = {
track_name: "The Chain",
artist_name: "Fleetwood Mac",
};

const lyrics = await findLyrics(query);
console.log("Metadata:", lyrics);

const unsyncedLyrics = await getUnsynced(query);
console.log("Unsynced Lyrics:", unsyncedLyrics);

const syncedLyrics = await getSynced(query);
console.log("Synced Lyrics:", syncedLyrics);
})();
import { findLyrics, getSynced, getUnsynced } from "lrclib-api";

const query = {
track_name: "The Chain",
artist_name: "Fleetwood Mac",
};

const lyrics = await findLyrics(query);
console.log("Metadata:", lyrics);

const unsyncedLyrics = await getUnsynced(query);
console.log("Unsynced Lyrics:", unsyncedLyrics);

const syncedLyrics = await getSynced(query);
console.log("Synced Lyrics:", syncedLyrics);
