Lyrics.ovh
Lyrics.ovh is a small keyless lookup service: GET a artist/title pair against api.lyrics.ovh/v1 and it fans that query out in parallel across sources like Genius, AZLyrics, and Letras.mus.br, returning the first full lyric text found as plain JSON. There's no authentication, no request quota, and no dashboard — it's a single open-source Node project (github.com/NTag/lyrics.ovh) that anyone can also self-host. The stored Apiary docs mirror has gone dead (502), but the live API itself responded with real lyrics during this check and sends a wildcard CORS header.
