**APIs profiled:** 0

Lyrist provides a simple, RESTful API that returns song lyrics based on a song title and artist name. Built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS, the service is hosted on Vercel and uses the LyricsDumper package to fetch lyrics. It includes rate limiting of 50 requests per hour per IP to prevent abuse. The API is intended as a learning project and a quick way for developers to integrate lyric lookup into applications.
