Why Musixmatch Scraper

Most other lyrics scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

• 🧩 Low-detail data — the lyrics text and nothing else, no ISRC, no album, no credits
• 🔎 Only works with a link — so you hunt down every page URL before you can scrape
• 💸 Pay more to get the same data — $3 to $21 per 1,000 songs, plus start fees
• 🪦 Works today, breaks next month — nobody maintains it

Musixmatch Scraper takes a song in any form, is priced honestly, and actively maintained.

A search row carries search_query and search_by in front of the song fields; a song you listed carries source.

FAQ

How do I tell it which songs I want?

List them under Songs, one per line, in any form: an Artist/Track name as it appears in musixmatch.com links (Taylor-Swift/Anti-Hero), a musixmatch.com lyrics link, a Musixmatch track ID, an ISRC (GBAYE0000267), a Spotify track ID or link, or plain text like Blinding Lights The Weeknd — plain text is searched and the best match is used. A song listed twice is scraped and billed once.

Can I search instead?

Yes — put searches under Search Queries and choose Search By: keywords (titles and artists), a lyric phrase, a song title, an artist name or a songwriter. Up to Max Songs per Search matches come back, most popular first (lyric-phrase searches keep the best matches first), each with full lyrics.

Which languages can I translate into?

88 — Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Hindi, Arabic, Turkish and many more. Type a code or a name in Translate Lyrics To (es, spanish, ja, chinese-trad). Translations are made by the Musixmatch community; songs without one come back with is_available: false and are not charged for it.

Do I get synced (timed) lyrics?

No — Musixmatch keeps time-synced lyrics for its licensed partners. You get the full plain lyrics, split into lines and stanzas.

Why does a song say it has no lyrics?

A few songs are licensed without lyrics display (is_restricted: true), and some instrumentals have none. You still get the song details; the row is charged as a song.

What does it cost?

$0.002 per song — $2 per 1,000, flat on every plan, with no start fee. Translations and meanings add $0.002 and credits $0.001, only on songs that have them. Apify's free plan gives you $5 of credit every month, which is about 2,500 songs free every month.

Is it legal to scrape Musixmatch?

The Actor collects publicly available song data as shown on musixmatch.com. Lyrics are copyrighted by their writers and publishers — make sure your use complies with the law of your jurisdiction and with any licences you need.
