Turn any Genius song or artist page into JSON: song title, artist and producer credits, release date, album, and the community annotation metadata layered onto each line.
Genius documents the credits, context, and crowd-sourced annotations behind songs across hip-hop, pop, and beyond. The Genius Scraper API extracts song and artist metadata, producer and writer credits, and annotation context into validated JSON, with structured links rather than reproductions of full lyric text.
It is scoped to metadata and annotation context, not the wholesale copying of song lyrics. The API fits music-knowledge graphs and credit-analytics tools that map who made a song and what its lines reference.

No. We return song and artist metadata, producer and writer credits, and annotation context rather than reproducing full lyric text, keeping the data focused on credits and references.
Structured JSON straight from the API, or pushed to your stack natively — S3, BigQuery, Snowflake, Postgres, Kafka, or any HTTPS webhook. Call it from Python, Node, Go, Rust, or any HTTP client. The data lands where your pipeline already lives.
No. You pay for valid, schema-passing rows only. Retries, blocks, CAPTCHAs, and 5xxs are on us. If a run doesn't return data that conforms to the schema, it isn't billed.
Every request routes through the same engine behind our Web Unblocker API: compliant residential IPs, real browser fingerprints, TLS-level evasion, behaviour modelling, and built-in CAPTCHA solving. Hard targets become routine.
Yes. We respect robots policies, rate budgets, and ToS-aware allow/deny lists. We deliver and move on — no row-level retention beyond your replay window. GDPR DPA, PII redaction, and custom data residency available on request.
