Just ran into this myself - Either result is returned as None or song_info.update(self.get_song(result['id']) is returning as None.

Okay, wow. I am dumb and totally forgot to pass in my client secret - I guess that's what I get for copy-pasting code.

@GooDeeJaY Make sure you get your Genius API Access Token from genius and are using that value to initialize the genius object:

genius = lyricsgenius.Genius("<client access token>")

After getting this error, I went back to Genius documentation, read all the stuff and begun writing my own class... and now I'm using that.

Now, reading your comments (@NLeRoy917 ), I tested that, and it is working well. I don't know why I got TypeError. I think that at that time I used a client token, but I wrote <Bearer client_access_token> instead of <client_acess_token>, and that was the mistake..... However, I don't remember what I did at that time.

However, thank you for your response. The problem is solved!
