JsonReaderException when getting Artist.

[rogamaral]

Spotify changed, at least in the artist endpoint, the int types to float/double.

I created a pull request for this problem.

Seems like spotify is currently on a run with breaking things!

Same to the other issue, did you guys find any information if this is an intended change?

I haven't found anything that says it's intentional. Just a few guys complaining about the same thing, the two you listed plus this one: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/Get-Artist-API-endpoint-responds-with-result-in-inconsistent/td-p/5806916

I ran into the same problem today. I haven't checked Spotifys JSON schema, but if it is a number (not integer) then exponential notation should be allowed. https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/numeric#number

I went for a workaround with implementing own IJSONSerializer and class CustomIntConverter : JsonConverter<int> where ReadJson() converts to int.

Should be fixed in SpotifyAPI Web 7.1.1

Feel free to re-open if that's not the case.
