FAQ

Questions Genius owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I search for a song if I only know a few words of the lyrics?

    Yes! Use the search capability with the lyrics you remember. The agent will return the most relevant song matches from the Genius database.

  • 02

    How do I see the meaning behind a specific line in a song?

    You can use get_referents with a song_id to see all annotated sections, or get_annotation with a specific ID to read the detailed community explanation.

  • 03

    Is it possible to vote on annotations through the AI?

    Absolutely. You can use upvote_annotation, downvote_annotation, or unvote_annotation by providing the Annotation ID, provided your token has the necessary scopes.
