Lyrics API not available for third-party apps

[emstark]

Hi team,
I see that the lyrics endpoints of the Tidal API are only available internally.
May I ask what is the reason behind that choice? Is it copyright related?

Running into the same issues at beets. Any insights into if we can make this work? Pinging @stefanmoro for visibility.

Example

curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://openapi.tidal.com/v2/tracks/55130637?countryCode=US&include=lyrics&shareCode=xyz' \
  -H 'accept: application/vnd.api+json' \
  -H 'Authorization: <>'

The included field in the response lacks any data, although the song (55130637) shows lyrics in the frontend.
