## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### What can I get

- 🎤 **Full lyrics for any song** — every line, stanzas, language, the key line, writers, publishers and copyright
- 🔗 **From anything you have** — an `Artist/Track` name, a musixmatch.com link, an ISRC, a Spotify link, or just `Blinding Lights The Weeknd`
- 🔍 **Search 10M+ songs** — by keywords, a lyric phrase, a title, an artist or a songwriter; every match comes back with its lyrics
- 🌍 **Translations in 88 languages** — the crowd translation of every line, in song order (add-on)
- 🧠 **What the song means** — Musixmatch's AI meaning, moods, themes with quotes and a content rating (add-on)
- ✍️ **Credits** — songwriters, producers, engineers and musicians with their roles and photos (add-on)
- 💿 **Full song details** — album, cover art in four sizes, release date, genres, popularity, ISRCs, Spotify and iTunes IDs

### 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.

*Trimmed for readability — the real row has all 52 lines, every stanza, all 12 credits and the full translation.*

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.

# Actor input Schema

## `songs` (type: `array`):

One song per line, in any form: an `Artist/Track` name as 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` (the best match is used).

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

One search per line, e.g. `love story`, `it's me, hi, I'm the problem`, `max martin`. Each is searched as the Search By field below.

## `searchBy` (type: `string`):

What the search queries match. Keywords match titles and artists; Lyric Phrase finds songs containing those words; Songwriter finds songs a writer is credited on.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of songs per search query (1–10,000). Use this to control your cost: 1,000 songs ≈ $2.

## `translateTo` (type: `string`):

A language code or name (`es`, `spanish`, `fr`, `ja`, `chinese-trad`…) to add a line-by-line crowd translation to every song — 88 languages. $0.002 per translated song. Leave empty for no translation.

## `includeMeaning` (type: `boolean`):

Add Musixmatch's AI analysis of the lyrics: what the song means, its moods, themes with quotes and a content rating. $0.002 per song that has one.

## `includeCredits` (type: `boolean`):

Add everyone credited on the song — songwriters, producers, engineers and musicians with their roles. $0.001 per song that has credits.
