The lyrics command keeps failing with Genius. I've installed lyricsgenius. I use an EU VPS which I read might be blocked by Genius? Do I have any options? AZ Lyrics is truly abysmal.

It appears that the VPS located in the EU has restricted access to the Genius API. Do you have any suggestions besides A_Zlyrics?

Like alternative platforms for Vocard to use?
would google itself work? google has a good lyrics system. if you search any song + "lyrics" it pops up in its own box
it often sources its lyrics from genius too
or it used to anyways

my current knowledge is limited to AZLyrics and LyricsGenius. If you're aware of any superior alternatives, I'd be eager to incorporate them into the bot

yea, i can try it
pure salmon
https://www.lyrical-nonsense.com/ might be good too
dire tiger
are they provided any api?
pure salmon
realized google might not work in some cases like with cover songs
doesnt look like it hmm
dire tiger
I've attempted to search for a few of my favorite songs, but unfortunately, they yielded no results 🤭
pure salmon
on lyrical nonsense? hmm I see
pure salmon
yeah my lyrics were japanese lol. it looks like azlyrics isnt very good for japanese lyrics lol
dire tiger
Yes, I can integrate the platform into the bot. However, since they don't offer an API, there's a risk it might stop working with future updates, as I'll be relying on web scraping to retrieve the lyrics from their site
pure salmon
might not be worth the trouble tbh. I dont need it that bad. too bad genius api blocks EU
dire tiger
Yea my vps also not able to use genius that why I added azlyrics
dire tiger
how about musixmatch lyrics?
pure salmon
that could be good. do they have an api
dire tiger
yea
pure salmon
see this one uses google which is what I mentioned earlier. you'd have to scrape though which might break but might be good anyways if it's not hard to implement in python
https://www.npmjs.com/package/lyrics-dumper?activeTab=code
pure salmon
neat it worked
dire tiger
the endpoint is in https://lyrist.vercel.app/api/<title>/<author>
pure salmon
im assuming it internally scrapes multiple sources and returns the most likely result or something like that
ah yeah the api response has a source field
pure salmon
150req per hour tho. not so bad self hosted but prod bot not great
oh it's open source https://github.com/asrvd/lyrist
dire tiger
yea
pure salmon
I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY
I found the github before the website
and the github links to the npm package
dire tiger

dire tiger
lyrist works pretty good
