API is back! :D

Everything is all patched up finally.  The site and the API are both up, running, and seem to be handling traffic as well as ever.  Thanks to everyone who helped as we worked through the problems.

On top of that, thank you to everyone for being patient while the API was down (it ended up being more than 3 straight days).  This problem gave me a lot of time to think about how to avoid a similar problem in the future, so hopefully we won’t be going down this path again any time soon!

    Thank you for getting it going again. Your hard work is much appreciated.
    I had only found out about the API a week or so before the upgrade. I had been looking for a way to embed the lyrics into the ID3tag of unsyncedlyrics. WSDL/SOAP has been a great learning experience as I learn more about PowerShell.

    Hi,

    The LyricWiki API is a great idea, and I look forward to trying it out.

    I was wondering if lyricwiki.org had ever considered not just including the text content of a song’s lyrics, but also permitted the addition of timing data to the lyrics as seen in a format such as LRC:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LRC_%28file_format%29

    I think this could expand on the types of things that could be created with the API and the wiki format would provide a fantastic way of allowing people to aggregate their work.

    Noel
