Error message about lyricsgenius HOT 14 CLOSED

I copied the wrong api code, it all works fine!

from lyricsgenius.

What happens when you try this?

import lyricsgenius
genius = lyricsgenius.Genius("--mykey--")
genius.get_artist(29472)

Do you get any data in response?

No data but also no TypeError. It just says None.

import lyricsgenius genius = lyricsgenius.Genius("--mykey--") artist = genius.get_artist(29472) print(artist)

Oh it works now. Looks like I'm an idiot who mixed up the client secret and client access token. omg
Anyway, sorry for bothering you with my questions and thank you so much for your help. Really appreciate it!

Great! Let me know if you run into any other issues.

Hi Chris,

If I understand you correctly, something like this might work for you:

# songPairs is a list of song title and artist name pairs
# (e.g. [["I Will", "The Beatles"], ["Begin Again", "Andy Shauf"]])
for pair in songPairs:
  song = api.search_song(pair[0], pair[1])
  if song:
    savename = "Lyrics_{A}_{T}".format(song.title, song.artist)
    song.save_lyrics(savename, forma_="txt")

Does that seem like what you want? Let me know if it works for you.

Many thanks Jonn, let me check this out! So far I used the standard 10 hits result and took the first URL.

Hi Jonn,

I'm quite new to Python and trying to retrieve lyrics from genius.com with your package. Unfortunately, I still keep on receiving the error:

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

I used the same code as Chris31070 previously posted but it's not working. Can you help me out? Thanks a lot!

Hi @mrpandastic, what version of the package are you using? If it's not the latest version (1.6.0), try updating with pip:

pip install -U lyricsgenius

yes, 1.6.0 is installed

I don't get the same error when executing the code. What happens if you try in Python:

genius.get_artist(29472)

Do you get a lot of data back? Did you properly set up your API key?

This is what's in my Jupyter Notebook:

import lyricsgenius

genius = lyricsgenius.Genius("--mykey--")
artist = genius.search_artist("Eminem", max_songs=3, sort="title")`

and this is the error I get:
