Introduction
In general song lyrics finder to used to find song lyrics that are tough to remember and recognize so it will be very helpful for karaoke and sing-along. In this blog, we are going to see how to create a song lyrics finder using python
Requirements
pip install python-docx
pip install beautifulsoup4
pip install requests
Python-Docx is used to create a word document.
Beautifulsoup4 is used to read and extract from webpages.
Requests are used to make user request in the browser.
How to get lyrics from a website?
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
songname="2002"
html_file=requests.get("https://search.azlyrics.com/search.php?q="+songname).text
soup=BeautifulSoup(html_file,"lxml")
match=[x.extract() for x in soup.findAll('td',class_='text-left visitedlyr')]
link=str(list(match[0])[1]).split('"')
html_files=requests.get(link[1]).text
soup=BeautifulSoup(html_files,"lxml")
match=[x.extract() for x in soup.findAll('div',class_='col-xs-12 col-lg-8 text-center')]
lyrics=str(match).split("\n")
start=lyrics.index('<!-- Usage of azlyrics.com content by any third-party lyrics provider is prohibited by our licensing agreement. Sorry about that. -->\r')
end=lyrics.index('<!-- MxM banner -->')
print(lyrics[start+1:end-2])
for i in lyrics[start+1:end-2]:
f=i.replace("<br/>","")
print(f)
Requesting a song lyrics link
songname="2002"
html_file=requests.get("https://search.azlyrics.com/search.php?q="+songname).text
soup=BeautifulSoup(html_file,"lxml")
Then in soup it will have the entire website code we have to extract
element of class 'text-left visitedlyr' |
match=[x.extract() for x in soup.findAll('td',class_='text-left visitedlyr')]
link=str(list(match[0])[1]).split('"')
then further extraction will give the song lyrics link:-
https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/annemarie/2002.html
By using the song lyrics link we have to again make a request
html_files=requests.get(link[1]).text
soup=BeautifulSoup(html_files,"lxml")
Then we have to extract
element of class 'col-xs-12 col-lg-8 text-center'
match=[x.extract() for x in soup.findAll('div',class_='col-xs-12 col-lg-8 text-center')]
lyrics=str(match).split("\n")
start=lyrics.index('<!-- Usage of azlyrics.com content by any third-party lyrics provider is prohibited by our licensing agreement. Sorry about that. -->\r')
end=lyrics.index('<!-- MxM banner -->')
lyrics=lyrics[start+1:end-2]
Then Further extraction will give the desired song lyrics: -
I will always remember
The day you kissed my lips
Light as a feather
And it went just like this
No, it's never been better
Than the summer of two thousand and two
We were only eleven
But acting like grown-ups
Like we are in the present
Drinking from plastic cups
Singing "love is forever and ever"
Well, I guess that was true
