getGeneric() producing an error: JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token '<'

[lucasbeatdapp]

Describe the bug I'm wanting to use the getGeneric() api call to be able to past a spotify url into an input with React native in order to get the content from that url but I receive an error

JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token '<'

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run code '...'

searchTerm will be something like this TaylorSwift. A url copied directly from spotify's share.

const fetchInfo = async (searchTerm) => {
    const searchResults = await spotifyApi.getGeneric(searchTerm);
    console.log("searchResults", searchResults);
}

2. See error

Expected behavior For this request, I'd expect to see results returned for the link provided. Maybe an object that holds all the data for the request whether it's an artist, album, track, or playlist

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: mac os for react-native
• Browser: chrome

Additional context the app is expo managed

package version: spotify-web-api-js": "^1.5.1"

@lucasbeatdapp you probably want to use the searchfunction instead of the internal getGeneric.
