How is it done?

It scrapes Genius to find the lyrics.

If the scraper fails on Genius, it falls back to MusixMatch.

Sample Code

This code gets the lyrics of I Just Wanna Shine by Fitz and The Tantrums.

const ftl = require("findthelyrics");

var q = "Fitz and The Tantrums I Just Wanna Shine";

ftl.find(q ,function(err, resp) {
    if (!err) {
        console.log(resp)
    } else {
        console.log(err)
    }
    // [Chorus]
    // I just wanna shine like the sun when it comes up
    // Run the city from the rooftops
    // 'Cause today’s gonna be my day
    // I just wanna climb to the top of a mountain
    // Standing tall when I'm howlin'
    // ...
});
