Lyrics Search

Search lyrics via the LrcApi public API (api.lrc.cx).

API

GET https://api.lrc.cx/lyrics?title={title}&artist={artist}
  • Returns LRC format (with timestamps) as text/plain
  • artist is optional but improves accuracy
  • URL-encode Chinese/special characters

Usage

  1. Fetch lyrics via web_fetch on the API URL
  2. The response is LRC format with [mm:ss.xxx] timestamps and metadata lines at the top
  3. Strip timestamps and metadata lines (credits, producer info at [00:00]–[00:24]) for clean display
  4. For printing: format as plain text with song title, artist, and credits header

Example

web_fetch("https://api.lrc.cx/lyrics?title=世界赠予我的&artist=王菲")

Notes

  • Public API may be slow; set a reasonable timeout
  • If no results, try with only title (omit artist)
  • If still no results, try alternate song name spellings
