Error in using api.search_artist

[Dawei-Ding]

Describe the bug Here is my sample code:

api = lyricsgenius.Genius("my_access_token") artist = api.search_artist('Taylor Swift', max_songs=8) print(artist.songs)

The error: artist = api.search_artist('Taylor Swift', max_songs=8)

File "/anaconda2/lib/python3.6/site-packages/lyricsgenius/api.py", line 381, in search_artist lyrics = self._scrape_song_lyrics_from_url(song_info['url'])

File "/anaconda2/lib/python3.6/site-packages/lyricsgenius/api.py", line 144, in _scrape_song_lyrics_fromurl lyrics = html.find("div", class="lyrics").get_text()

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_text'

Hi Dawei,

What version of the package are you using? I don't get the same error when I run your code with the latest version (1.4.0).

Hi John,

The package version is 1.4.0 My python version is 3.6.6 and macOS 10.14.4

Did you copy the error message exactly? I'm curious because the latest version of the code has a trailing underscore after class:

Your error:

lyrics = html.find("div", class="lyrics").get_text()

Latest code:

lyrics = html.find("div", class_="lyrics").get_text()

PR #95 should address this issue. Update to version 1.5.1 of the package, and let me know if that solves your problem.

Hi John,

It works now after I upgraded to 1.5.1. Thank you.
