What This Skill Does
Fetches song lyrics from the LrcApi public API by title and artist. Returns LRC-formatted text with timestamps that can be stripped for clean display or printing.
LrcApi provides timestamped LRC format natively, so no parsing library or scraping is needed to get structured lyrics.
When to use it
- Find lyrics for a song you can't remember fully
- Print formatted lyrics sheet for a performance
- Look up lyrics for a Chinese or foreign-language song
- Display lyrics alongside music player output
- Retrieve credits and metadata from a song's LRC file
