get_artist KeyError: 'playButton'

[chaos87]

Hi,

I'm using 0.14.1 and when I do (unauthenticated)

from ytmusicapi import YTMusic
ytmusic = YTMusic()
ytmusic.get_artist('UCbCrm_eTkVVRbwnR0cj-phQ')

I get

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KeyError                                  Traceback (most recent call last)

Good find, seems not every artist has shuffle/radio mixes

[bohrasankalp]

The issue still persists.

I ended up with

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/sony/Desktop/yt/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ytmusicapi/parsers/utils.py", line 210, in nav
    raise err
  File "/home/sony/Desktop/yt/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ytmusicapi/parsers/utils.py", line 204, in nav
    root = root[k]
KeyError: 'playButton'

Which artist? The artist mentioned above should be fine.

Did you use the latest Github master with pip install git+https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi?

[bohrasankalp]

Try with this. artistId = "UCpZQNFrsFaC9bQgwcruLcwg". I have installed the latest. Even run this command before searching here.

[sigma67]

Sorry but it should work fine if you are on abbc13f. I get the following results:

{
  "description": null,
  "views": null,
  "name": "Chitra Singh",
  "channelId": "UCpZQNFrsFaC9bQgwcruLcwg",
  "shuffleId": null,
  "radioId": null,
  "subscribers": "11.1K",
  "subscribed": false,
  "thumbnails": [],
  "songs": {
    "browseId": "VLPLM5K8amubQnA3Cljlf7a8xV8jEuUBjyLk",
    "results": [],
    "params": "6gPeAUNxTUJDb01CQ25RQUFHV..."
  }
}

Then pip install git+https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi doesn't update me to the latest.

[sigma67]

Try adding -U switch, since version number has not changed yet.

[bohrasankalp]

No, it doesn't work. There should be some other workaround.

[sigma67]

As I said, it works fine for me. Wait until the release of 0.14.2 or submit a PR if you can identify something else that's wrong

[chaos87]

Cool it works for me with your latest commit. Thanks
