Musixmatch lyrics API is a robust service that permits you to search and retrieve lyrics in the simplest possible way. It just works.
Before getting started, you must take a look at the API Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy. We’ve worked hard to make this service completely legal so that we are all protected from any foreseeable liability. Take the time to read this stuff.
All you need to do is register in order to get your API key, a mandatory parameter for most of our API calls. It’s your personal identifier and should be kept secret.
We have tried to keep things as easy as possible. To understand how our API behaves take a look at these pages showing the details of the API calls and responses:
API methods
Input parameters
In the most common scenario you only need to implement two API calls:
The first call is to match your catalog to ours using the search function (details on the track.search page) and the second is to get the lyrics (see the page track.lyrics.get). That’s it!

We can’t wait to see the amazing things you’re going to do with the Musixmatch API!
