In this article, we are going to write a python script to extract lyrics from the song and bind with its GUI application. We will use lyrics-extractor to get lyrics of a song just by passing in the song name, it extracts and returns the song’s title and song lyrics from various websites. Before starting, install the lyrics-extractor module. Run this command into your terminal.
pip install lyrics-extractor
Requirements
Need an API Key and Engine ID of Google Custom Search JSON API.
Engine ID
- Create a Custom Search Engine to get your Engine ID here.
- We have to create our own Programmable Search Engine (Google Custom Search Engine) and add Link to fetch lyrics.
- Programmable Search Engine is based on Google’s core search technology.
- It is a search engine for your website and has a task to find information as the user choose.
Choose any link of one to get your search engine:
https://genius.com/
http://www.lyricsted.com/
http://www.lyricsbell.com/
https://www.glamsham.com/
http://www.lyricsoff.com/
http://www.lyricsmint.com/
JSON API :
- The custom search JSON API is able to retrieve and display search result from Programmable Search Engine.
- To use the custom search JSON API we have to create Programmable Search Engine.
- Visit here to get your API key.
Approach:
from lyrics_extractor import SongLyrics
- Pass the Google Custom Search JSON API key and Engine ID into SongLyrics().
extract_lyrics = SongLyrics(Your_API_KEY, GCS_ENGINE_ID)
- Get the lyrics by passing the song name as a parameter to extract_lyrics.get_lyrics() method.
extract_lyrics.get_lyrics("Shape of You")
Below is the implementation.
Python3
from lyrics_extractor import SongLyrics
extract_lyrics = SongLyrics( "AIzaSewfsdfsdfOq0oTixw" , "frewrewrfsac" )
extract_lyrics.get_lyrics( "Tujhse Naraz Nahi Zindagi Lyrics" )
|
Output:

Note: Enter your own API key and engine id otherwise it will generate an error.
Extract lyrics Application with Tkinter:
Python3
from tkinter import *
from lyrics_extractor import SongLyrics
def get_lyrics():
extract_lyrics = SongLyrics(
"Aerwerwefwdssdj-nvN3Oq0oTixw" , "werwerewcxzcsda" )
temp = extract_lyrics.get_lyrics( str (e.get()))
res = temp[ 'lyrics' ]
result. set (res)
master = Tk()
master.configure(bg = 'light grey' )
result = StringVar()
Label(master, text = "Enter Song name : " ,
bg = "light grey" ).grid(row = 0 , sticky = W)
Label(master, text = "Result :" ,
bg = "light grey" ).grid(row = 3 , sticky = W)
Label(master, text = "", textvariable = result,
bg = "light grey" ).grid(row = 3 , column = 1 , sticky = W)
e = Entry(master, width = 50 )
e.grid(row = 0 , column = 1 )
b = Button(master, text = "Show" ,
command = get_lyrics, bg = "Blue" )
b.grid(row = 0 , column = 2 , columnspan = 2 ,
rowspan = 2 , padx = 5 , pady = 5 ,)
mainloop()
