node-genius-lyrics's Issues

TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'random' of object '[object Object]'

Error: Request failed with status code 403

Please add support for optional genius api host address

I would like to use this library from browser.
In order to fight the CORS , improve performance and lower the load on actual API, I am setting up a CDN that will have the same domain name as my website but will redirect all calls to genius.com.

An API Key is not optional as described in the documentation (TypeScript)

According to the documentation an API Key is optional, but in TypeScript the typing says it is mandatory.

[Bug] Request failed with status code 403 when using `15.x`

album and artist is undefined

So i was making a lyrics command on my Discord bot using this package, and everytime i searched a song it will always return this:
Artist: [object Object]
Album: undefined

Lyrics are fine though, as you can see.

And here's my code:

const Genius = require("genius-lyrics");
const Gclient = new Genius.Client
const { MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
    info: {
        name: "lyrics",
        description: "Will return the lyrics of a specified song.",
        usage: "[song name]",
        cooldown: 10,
    },

    execute: async function (client, message, args, Discord) {

        var searchString = args.join(" ");
        if (!searchString) return message.reply("please specify a keyword, i am not able to read your thoughts.").then(msg => { msg.delete({ timeout: 5000 }) });

        const searches = await Gclient.songs.search(searchString);
        const firstSong = searches[0];
        const lyrics = await firstSong.lyrics();

        let lyricEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
            .setColor('BLUE')
            .setTitle(firstSong.title)
            .setURL(firstSong.url)
            .setThumbnail(firstSong.thumbnail)
            .setDescription(
                `Artist: ${firstSong.artist}\n`
                + `Album: ${firstSong.album}\n\n`
                + `${lyrics}`
            )
            .setTimestamp();
        message.channel.send(lyricEmbed);

    }
}

I'm an amateur, so i probably screwed up the code a little bit.

NoResultError for some specific queries

This library works wonderfully for most queries, but some are problematic. I have not found a cause for it yet, but it happens occasionally with some queries, it's always the same result, so it is consistent in that sense. This never gives results no matter how often I retry it, I can also try rewording it, it just does not show results when searching for this song in particular. Good to note, is that it's also the name of the album, so perhaps something is going wrong with that. I can fetch every single other song by the doors, just not this one.

tracklyrics.lyrics() is not a function

I am following the example in the README, although while using it in my code, my console says that tracklyrics.lyrics is not a function.
I am trying to make a command in Discord.js with it so whenever my bot plays a song, the users can get the lyrics of the current song that is playing.

This is how I am using the package:

const queue = await client.distube.getQueue(interaction.guildId);
const tracklyrics = queue.songs[0];
const lyrics = await tracklyrics.lyrics();

//Everything down below shouldn't be relevant to the error. 

//response.setAuthor({ name: "LYRICS", iconURL: user.avatarURL({ dynamic: true }) })
//response.setDescription("**_ Sent Lyrics to your DMs_**")
//user.send({ embeds: [new MessageEmbed().setColor("#2F3136").setAuthor({ name: "LYRICS", iconURL: //user.avatarURL({ dynamic: true }) }).setDescription(`${lyrics}`)] });
//return interaction.reply({ embeds: [response] });

[Bug] Request failed with status code 403 when using `16.x`

if i use:

what can i do to fix it?

Instrumental songs give a "no result" error

The lyrics are checked to have "length", which means as much as having any content, but an instrumental song does not have lyrics. The string is empty: https://github.com/zyrouge/node-genius-lyrics/blob/next/lib/songs/song.ts#L93 and thus passes the loop and throws an error. I would like an option to know if a song is instrumental, either by return this or with a separate function to check for elements like this on the page:

IPV6 support

Both the scraping and the regular API stop working when a device supports IPV6:

The api url is converted to an IPV6 address instead of the working IPV4 one, could we have an option to always use IPV4 for the API?

.lyrics() sometimes returns extra newlines

Hello @zyrouge

/lyrics() function sometimes returns extra newlines. In the current version of genius-lyrics there is the same treatment for .lyrics and .Lyrics__Container divs. But with .lyrics you don't need to add extra treatment because line breaks are already appended. This behavior is avoided in #19 because there is no extra treatment when using .lyrics.

Normal behavior :

Bug :

Thank you in advance.

Sometimes a newline is missing between different blocks of a song

For example, the response for ABBA - gimme gimme gimme is as follow:

[Verse 1]
Half-past twelve
And I'm watching the late show in my flat, all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside the window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom

[Pre-Chorus]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
[Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

[Verse 2]
Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of TV
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight

[Pre-Chorus]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

[Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

[Bridge]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

[Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

There is a very obvious line break missing between the first pre-chorus and the chorus. This started happening after 3120822, before that I had no such issue and the results always had the correct amount of newlines.

removeChorus regex is not working (?) here's a fix

Hi, great lib, very easy to use and the doc is very nice too!

Maybe I'm mistaken but the removeChorus option doesn't work? I tried it and it didn't have any effect.

Checking the line removing the chorus there

node-genius-lyrics/lib/songs/song.ts

Line 127 in 1d8a8bb

return lyrics.replace(/^\[[^\]]+\]$/g, "");

the regex matching the chorus there is:
/^\[[^\]]+\]$/g

This doesn't seem to match anything (testing in regex101 with lyrics from Genius).

After a few tries, I found that this would seems to be a good regex to apply:

/^\[(?:Chorus|Post-Chorus|Pre-Chorus)[\s\S]*?(?:\n\n|(?=[\n]?$(?![\n])))/gm

It matches Chorus, Post-Chorus and Pre-Chorus blocks. I tried replacing the one in the code with this, and it actually stripes the Chorus blocks.

This part : (?=[\n]?$(?![\n])) is needed to match a Chorus|Post-Chorus|Pre-Chorus block that is at the very end of the lyrics (without a blank line after it).

A great option would be to be able to keep one chorus (and post-chorus etc.) but remove the duplicates, maybe just replacing them by [Chorus] only. This could probably be done in Regex too, but I guess doing it using string manipulation in JavaScript might be more readable and more flexible.

Reversal of the thumbnail and profile image

The thumbnail returns the image of the artist and the image returns the thumbnail

node-genius-lyrics/lib/artists/artist.ts

Lines 46 to 47 in 9330e28

	this.thumbnail = res.image_url;
	this.image = res.header_image_url;

Tell me if its a bug I can submit a PR

SyntaxError: await is only valid in async functions and the top level bodies of modules

I am running the example code given from node-genius-lyrics after installing the package through npm

const Genius = require("genius-lyrics");
const Client = new Genius.Client(myClientID);

const searches = await Client.songs.search("faded");

// Pick first one
const firstSong = searches[0];
console.log("About the Song:\n", firstSong, "\n");

// Ok lets get the lyrics
const lyrics = await firstSong.lyrics();
console.log("Lyrics of the Song:\n", lyrics, "\n");

But error occur:

const searches = await Client.songs.search("faded");
                 ^^^^^

May I know how to fix this error? Any help would be appreciated.

error: No result was found

Sometimes when we try to get lyrics with .lyrics() function, it gives us this error: No result was found but if we try the same song after some time, it gives us the result. Maybe this is a bug.

Discord not working

I cant get onto your discord! Can you send a link?

Is it possible to make it run without node (in browser)?

Hi! I'm building a browser extension which displays lyrics from Genius in another website. When I try to import this library I get the following error: TypeError: $bGKbb.versions.node is undefined. It will be nice to make this module run in browsers too.

403 - Error, wrong url?

Im having issues when trying to get the songs from an artist, im always getting an 403 Error with the message "Action forbidden for current scope".

I think it's because the url called looks like this: api.genius.com/songs?page=1&per_page=20&sort=title,
But shouldn't it look more like this api.genius.com/artist/1234567/songs?page=1&per_page=20&sort=title ?

node-genius-lyrics/lib/artists/artist.ts

Lines 103 to 106 in f90c6c8

	const data = await this.client.api.get(
	`/songs?page=${nOptions.page}&per_page=${nOptions.perPage}&sort=${nOptions.sort}`
	);
	const parsed = JSON.parse(data);

I changed this block to use the correct url and fixed access to the response like this:

...
const data = await this.client.api.get(
      `/artists/${this.id}/songs?page=${nOptions.page}&per_page=${nOptions.perPage}&sort=${nOptions.sort}`
);
const parsed = JSON.parse(data).response; // Added the .response
...

And it works for me.
Did i found a bug or am i just missing something?

.lyrics() method always returns "No result was found".

[Bug] .lyrics() sometimes works but more often fails with no result found

I believe this issue is related to 403 errors, as I've seen that mentioned elsewhere and had that exact issue with another library

Lyrics not working

This is my initialization:

const lyrics = new Genius.Client(process.env.GENIUSTOKEN);

this is my command:

lyrics.songs.search("Omfori Skidder Skidder Skidder").then(async x => {
          return x?.length ? await x[0].lyrics() : null;
}); 

This is the output:

Error: No result was found

It is because this happens when u fetch the uri:
https://milrato.com/codeshare/code/63a41dd1b7ad972a43f9380a

But when I open it in the BROWSER of the SERVER where I'M making the request of, it does not show cloudflare:

Please make it possible to change browser origin headers.
So I can use the ones from my BROWSER (Firefox, linux, etc.) (defaultUserAgent )
because I'd need: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:108.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/108.0

• maybe cookies could help?

cause lyrics you scrape

error handling

I can't find any documentation on how to handle errors in my app when an artist/song is not found.

Any support on this issue would be kindly appreciated.

Uncatchable error

Hi,
I have problem with error "NoResultError: No result was found"
If its unable to find a lyric it returns a error message which can't be catched and terminates the node process.
For example I tried this input "Aim Vision - Have You Seen The Moon Tonight?" and it gives the error mentioned above.

How can I solve that error?

Thanks,
Martin Skalicky

switch to node-html-parser from cheerio

tldr; Switch to node-html-parser for better performance.

Genius Lyrics is used by @discord-player/extractor and parsing lyrics usually seems to block the thread (which seems to be caused by cheerio). node-html-parser states that Per the design, it intends to parse massive HTML files in lowest price, thus the performance is the top priority.. Benchmark results show that node-html-parser is very fast compared to cheerio.

No lyrics given for any arabic songs

when you try to get lyrics for any arabic song you get no results even if it exists on genius.com

I have this error trying to find the song title

https://cdn.csjgaming.com/images/5n8k3.png

has shown in the screenshot it errors to 500 when i setup everything

How can I get the lyrics of a song that I have acquired with ID?

I apologize for this very rudimentary question.
Could you please tell me how to get the lyrics of a single song from the ID?

---

I am trying to display a list of songs from the keywords entered by the user, and then display the lyrics of the song the user selects from the list.
The API is as follows.
getSongsAPI

import Genius from "genius-lyrics";
const Client = new Genius.Client("API key");

const getSongs = async ({ query: { keyword } }, res) => {
  const songs = await Client.songs.search(keyword);
  return res.status(200).json(songs);
};

I was able to get a list of lyrics with the above API.
For each of the list of returned songs, we have planted a click event as shown below.

const getLyric = async ({currentTarget: { id } => {
  const res = await fetch("/api/getLyric/?id=" + id);
  const lyric = await res.json();
  console.log(lyric);
};

...
<li onClick={getLyric} id={song.id}>{song.title}</li>

getLyricAPI

import Genius from "genius-lyrics";
const Client = new Genius.Client("API key");

const getLyric = async ({ query: { id } }, res) => {
  const song = await Client.songs.get(Number(id));
  const lyric = await song.lyrics();
  return res.status(200).json(lyric);
};

The getLyricAPI expects to return lyrics, but it returns an array as shown in the image below.

Got an error and success response at the same time

My code is look like this

const Genius = require("genius-lyrics");
const gclient = new Genius.Client('super-secret');

module.export = {//something to export//}

async function getLyrics(lyrics) {
    const searches = await gclient.songs.search(lyrics);
    const first = searches[0]
    return first
}
getLyrics('noma - brain power').then(async(res)=>{
    console.log(res.lyrics())
    
        //     message.reply([
    //         {
    //             type: "image",
    //             originalContentUrl:res.image,
    //             previewImageUrl:res.image
    //         },
    //         {
    //             type:"text",
    //             text:`${res.artist.name} - ${res.title}
                
    // ${res.lyrics()}`
    //         }
    //     ])  
})

for a messaging bot app and somehow if i uncomment the message.reply() part it give me an error but successfully fetched the data via console.log() hence i got an error and success response, i also check if the previous version (2.9.4) works and it did works but after few request i got the same cloudflare error LMAO but this time i couldn't get success response at all.

got no problem when i tested on my local before running it using Replit

Do you have any idea what is happened?
