JioSaavn vs Lyrics.ovh

JioSaavnAPI is an unofficial, reverse-engineered Python wrapper around JioSaavn that resolves song, album, playlist, and lyrics data — including download links and cover art — from a search term or a JioSaavn URL, with no API key required. Unlike similar unofficial wrappers, a hosted public instance exists at saavnapi-nine.vercel.app, so it can be called directly rather than always requiring self-deployment, though as third-party infrastructure it carries no uptime guarantee. Responses are JSON; the project last shipped code in August 2024, more recently maintained than most of its unofficial-wrapper peers.

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.
