Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.
Lyrics.ovh is listed in our free catalogue and required no credential when we called it. It needs no authentication at all, so you can send a request without signing up. Free tiers can still carry rate limits or non-commercial terms, so check the provider's own terms before shipping.
No. We called Lyrics.ovh on 2026-09-18 with no key, no token and no Authorization header, and it responded. That is what puts it in our no-key collection.
Not directly. Lyrics.ovh did not return CORS headers when we checked, so the browser will block your page from reading the response even though the request itself succeeds. Call it from a server, or put a small proxy in front of it.
Not at our last check on 2026-09-18. Lyrics.ovh did not respond successfully, which is why it is marked as down here. This may be temporary; we re-check on a schedule and the badge above reflects the most recent run.
Yes. Lyrics.ovh serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
