info:
title: Lyrics API
description: >-
These endpoints return metadata about songs and lyrics.
For full details, see the [API
reference](https://docs.musixmatch.com/lyrics-api/introduction) for these
endpoints.
To authenticate your API requests and use the endpoints, you need to include
your API key as a **query parameter** (`apikey`) in every call, like this:
`GET /ws/1.1/track.get?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY`.
In Postman, enter your API Key in the **Auth** tab, where it will be
automatically appended to the request. **Best Practice:** Use **Postman
Vault** to securely store your key; see the official [Postman
documentation](https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/postman-vault/postman-vault-secrets/)
for details.
Always keep your API key secure and never share it publicly. If you believe
your API key has been compromised, contact us immediately at
`sales@musixmatch.com`.
