## Important notes
|
||||
### Legal note
|
||||
For legal reasons, this tool is for educational purposes only. And Scraping is not allowed by the Genius API Terms of Service. And I do not encourage the use of Scraping websites for any data, and that API endpoints should always be used instead.
|
||||
### Legal Notice
|
||||
|
||||
This tool is provided for educational and experimental purposes only.
|
||||
|
||||
Please be aware that the Genius API Terms of Service **prohibit** web scraping of their website. This project contains code that performs scraping to retrieve song lyrics directly from Genius.com, which may violate those terms.
|
||||
|
||||
Since Genius does not provide official API endpoints for lyrics due to copyright restrictions, this tool includes scraping functionality as a workaround. However, scraping may result in legal or technical consequences such as IP bans, rate limiting, or other restrictions imposed by Genius.
|
||||
|
||||
**Use this tool responsibly and at your own risk.** The author does not encourage or endorse violating any third-party terms of service or applicable laws and disclaims any liability arising from misuse.
|
||||
|
||||
Whenever possible, prefer using official API endpoints and respect copyright laws.
|
||||
|
||||
## API key required
|
||||
This tool requires a Genius API key to work since it fetches song metadata from the Genius API.
