The Genius.com scraper extracts songs and lyrics from the platform. It fetches details from song, album, artist pages, supports tag-based retrieval, searches, and includes comments. Simplify accessing and analyzing music content from Genius.com.
To run the code examples, you need to have an Apify account. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> in the code with your API token. For a more detailed explanation, please read about running Actors via the API in Apify Docs.
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
// Initialize the ApifyClient with API token
const client = new ApifyClient({
token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});
// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
"searchMode": "song",
"maxItems": 20,
"endPage": 1,
"extendOutputFunction": ($) => { return {} },
"customMapFunction": (object) => { return {...object} },
"proxy": {
"useApifyProxy": true
}
};
(async () => {
// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("epctex/genius-scraper").call(input);
// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
console.dir(item);
});
})();
