🎵 retrieve all song lyrics of an artist from the Genius API

A script which works around the limitations of the Genius API to get all lyrics of an artist in one step.

• Create your own API client here
• Clone this repository git clone https://github.com/elliebirbeck/genius-lyrics-scraper.git
• Navigate to the working directory cd genius-lyrics-scraper
• Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt
• Create a config.py file with variables client_id, client_secret, access_token using your own API client details

Run with the artist name as the first arg and (optionally) the filename as the second arg. E.g:

python main.py "Amy Winehouse" "amy_lyrics"

The sample output file amy_lyrics.txt is provided in the repo. It provides all songs in one file, each seperated by an <EOS> tag.
