Create a GUI to extract Lyrics from song Using Python

Last Updated : 03 Jun, 2024

In this article, we are going to write a python script to extract lyrics from the song and bind with its GUI application. We will use lyrics-extractor to get lyrics of a song just by passing in the song name, it extracts and returns the song’s title and song lyrics from various websites. Before starting, install the lyrics-extractor module. Run this command into your terminal.

pip install lyrics-extractor

Requirements

Need an API Key and Engine ID of Google Custom Search JSON API.

Engine ID

Create a Custom Search Engine to get your Engine ID here.
We have to create our own Programmable Search Engine (Google Custom Search Engine) and add Link to fetch lyrics.
Programmable Search Engine is based on Google’s core search technology.
It is a search engine for your website and has a task to find information as the user choose.

Choose any link of one to get your search engine:

https://genius.com/
http://www.lyricsted.com/
http://www.lyricsbell.com/
https://www.glamsham.com/
http://www.lyricsoff.com/
http://www.lyricsmint.com/

JSON API :

The custom search JSON API is able to retrieve and display search result from Programmable Search Engine.
To use the custom search JSON API we have to create Programmable Search Engine.
Visit here to get your API key.

Approach:

Import the modules.

from lyrics_extractor import SongLyrics

Pass the Google Custom Search JSON API key and Engine ID into SongLyrics().

extract_lyrics = SongLyrics(Your_API_KEY, GCS_ENGINE_ID)

Get the lyrics by passing the song name as a parameter to extract_lyrics.get_lyrics() method.

extract_lyrics.get_lyrics("Shape of You")

Below is the implementation.

# importing modules
from lyrics_extractor import SongLyrics

# pass the GCS_API_KEY, GCS_ENGINE_ID
extract_lyrics = SongLyrics("AIzaSewfsdfsdfOq0oTixw","frewrewrfsac")

extract_lyrics.get_lyrics("Tujhse Naraz Nahi Zindagi Lyrics")

Output:

Note: Enter your own API key and engine id otherwise it will generate an error.

Extract lyrics Application with Tkinter:

# import modules
from tkinter import *
from lyrics_extractor import SongLyrics

# user defined function
def get_lyrics():
  
    extract_lyrics = SongLyrics(
        "Aerwerwefwdssdj-nvN3Oq0oTixw", "werwerewcxzcsda")
    
    temp = extract_lyrics.get_lyrics(str(e.get()))
    res = temp['lyrics']
    result.set(res)


# object of tkinter
# and background set to light grey
master = Tk()
master.configure(bg='light grey')

# Variable Classes in tkinter
result = StringVar()

# Creating label for each information
# name using widget Label
Label(master, text="Enter Song name : ",
      bg="light grey").grid(row=0, sticky=W)

Label(master, text="Result :",
      bg="light grey").grid(row=3, sticky=W)


# Creating label for class variable
# name using widget Entry
Label(master, text="", textvariable=result,
      bg="light grey").grid(row=3, column=1, sticky=W)

e = Entry(master, width=50)
e.grid(row=0, column=1)

# creating a button using the widget
b = Button(master, text="Show",
           command=get_lyrics, bg="Blue")

b.grid(row=0, column=2, columnspan=2,
       rowspan=2, padx=5, pady=5,)

mainloop()
