Genius Lyrics API

healthy 3,929 Subscribers

Real-time Genius music data as an API — songs, artists, albums and full song lyrics, returned as clean JSON. Search songs, or search across songs, artists and albums at once; fetch a song, artist or album by id; list an artist's songs ranked by popularity; and pull the full, cleaned lyrics of any song by id or by Genius URL. Live data with titles, primary and featured artists, page views, release dates, artwork, follower counts and social handles. The lyrics endpoint returns the complete song text with section markers ([Verse], [Chorus]) and the contributor header stripped. Ideal for music and lyrics apps, karaoke and sing-along tools, sentiment and language analysis, and metadata enrichment. 7 data endpoints. Authenticated with an x-oanor-key; fair-use rate limits per plan.

 BitSong Chain API — oanor API marketplace

BitSong Chain API

Real-time on-chain data for BitSong (chain-id bitsong-2b), a Cosmos-SDK Layer-1 built for the music industry — music NFTs, artist fan tokens and streaming — with BTSG as its native coin, secured by delegated proof-of-stake. The status endpoint returns the chain id, latest block height and time, proposer and node application version so you can confirm the chain is live and producing blocks. The validators endpoint returns the full bonded validator set — each moniker, operator address, stake in BTSG, commission rate and jailed flag — sorted by stake, plus the total bonded and not-bonded BTSG. The supply endpoint returns the total BTSG supply (in BTSG and base ubtsg), the bonded amount and the bonded ratio. The governance endpoint returns the most recent on-chain governance proposals with title, status and voting window. The meta endpoint documents the chain, denom and decimals. Reads a live BitSong Cosmos-SDK LCD node directly (with mirror fallback), so values are current to the latest block. Live, nothing stored. 5 endpoints. This serves chain-level staking, supply and governance data; for individual fan tokens or music NFTs use a dedicated indexer API.

 Bandcamp API — oanor API marketplace

Bandcamp API

Live data from Bandcamp, the independent-music marketplace and streaming platform, with no account and no key. Bandcamp is where independent artists and labels sell and stream music directly to fans; this reads Bandcamp's own public web/mobile JSON and returns clean results. Search across bands, albums, tracks and labels by name (each result with its kind, name, artist, page url, location and cover art); read an album or track in full — its artist, full tracklist with durations, price and currency (many releases are free or name-your-price), release date, tags and cover art; and read a band/artist profile with its complete discography. The artist-direct music-commerce layer for music discovery, price-comparison, fan tools and analytics. Distinct from streaming-catalogue and record-database APIs — this is Bandcamp's own marketplace. Live from Bandcamp; short cache only.

 Discogs API — oanor API marketplace

Discogs API

Live data from Discogs, the largest community-built database and marketplace of music releases: search the whole database by text and type (release, artist, label, master), a release with its artists, year, genres, styles, labels and formats plus the collector-community signal (how many have it, want it, its average rating and copies for sale), an artist profile with aliases and members, the canonical master release grouping all editions, and a record label profile with parent and sublabels.
