  "lyrics": "Is this the real life?\nIs this just fantasy?\nCaught in a landslide...",
  "pageViews": 11084955,
  "annotation_count": 68,
  "imageUrl": "https://images.genius.com/...",
  "url": "https://genius.com/Queen-bohemian-rhapsody-lyrics",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-04-26T10:00:00.000Z"
}

Example Inputs

Search for songs by keyword

{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQueries": ["bohemian rhapsody", "stairway to heaven"],
  "limit": 20
}

Scrape specific song URLs

{
  "mode": "lyrics",
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://genius.com/Queen-bohemian-rhapsody-lyrics" },
    { "url": "https://genius.com/Led-zeppelin-stairway-to-heaven-lyrics" }
  ]
}

How it works

Search mode: Calls the genius.com/api/search/multi endpoint which returns JSON with song results including URLs, view counts, and metadata. Then fetches each song page to extract lyrics.
Lyrics mode: Directly fetches provided song page URLs.
Data extraction: Lyrics are in [data-lyrics-container="true"] div elements. Metadata comes from a combination of JSON-LD, meta tags, and the __PRELOADED_STATE__ JSON blob.

Notes

Genius.com is the largest lyrics database with millions of songs annotated by the community.
Page views reflect the total number of times a song's page has been viewed on Genius.
Annotation count shows how many user-contributed explanations exist for the song.
Some songs may not have album information if they are standalone singles.
Residential proxies recommended to avoid rate limiting.
