This is all you need to get started!

from spotify_scraper import SpotifyClient

client = SpotifyClient()
track = client.get_track_info("https://open.spotify.com/track/0VqSdtXseb9khdZrnYVyM1")
print(track)
print(f"Track: {track.get('name', 'Unknown')} by {(track.get('artists', [{}])[0].get('name', 'Unknown') if track.get('artists') else 'Unknown')}")

Hi @Dec-QXY,

Thank you for reporting this issue! I've identified and fixed the problem. The error was caused by the JSON parser not properly handling None/null values in the track data, particularly when the artists field was null.

The Fix

I've released v2.1.5 which includes:

Comprehensive null checks throughout the track data extraction
Better error messages for debugging
A full test suite to prevent this issue from recurring

To Update

pip install --upgrade spotifyscraper==2.1.5

What Changed

The parser now properly handles tracks with null values for any metadata field (artists, album, etc.). Previously, when checking if a key existed in a null value (e.g., if "items" in track_data["artists"] where track_data["artists"] was None), it would throw the "argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable" error.

Your track should now work correctly:

from spotify_scraper import SpotifyClient

client = SpotifyClient()
track = client.get_track_info("https://open.spotify.com/track/0VqSdtXseb9khdZrnYVyM1")
print(track)

Please update to v2.1.5 and let me know if the issue is resolved!

Closes #71
