**lrclib-api** is a TypeScript-based wrapper for the [lrclib.net](https://lrclib.net) API, designed to fetch song lyrics and metadata. It supports both plain and synchronized lyrics, providing a simple and efficient way to access lyrics data.

## Features

- Retrieve song lyrics by track name, artist name, and album name.
- Supports both plain (unsynced) and synchronized (timed) lyrics.
- Handles instrumental tracks gracefully.
- Provides metadata such as track name, artist, album, and duration.
- Fully type-safe with TypeScript.

## Installation

Install the package via npm:

```bash
npm install lrclib-api
```

## Usage

### Basic Example

#### JavaScript

```js
const { Client } = require("lrclib-api");

const client = new Client();
(async () => {
  const query = {
    track_name: "The Chain",
    artist_name: "Fleetwood Mac",
  };

  const lyrics = await client.findLyrics(query);
  console.log("Metadata:", lyrics);

  const unsyncedLyrics = await client.getUnsynced(query);
  console.log("Unsynced Lyrics:", unsyncedLyrics);

  const syncedLyrics = await client.getSynced(query);
  console.log("Synced Lyrics:", syncedLyrics);
})();
```

#### ES Module

```ts
import { Client } from "lrclib-api";

const client = new Client();
const query = {
  track_name: "The Chain",
  artist_name: "Fleetwood Mac",
};

const lyrics = await client.findLyrics(query);
console.log("Metadata:", lyrics);

const unsyncedLyrics = await client.getUnsynced(query);
console.log("Unsynced Lyrics:", unsyncedLyrics);

const syncedLyrics = await client.getSynced(query);
console.log("Synced Lyrics:", syncedLyrics);
```
