Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/327

I use get_watch_playlist to get to lyrics as BrowseId in get_lyrics

search = "因为你所以我" #some taiwanese song, usually English song works perfectly without errors
searchresult = ytmusic.search(query=search,filter='songs',limit=1)
rawsong = ytmusic.get_watch_playlist(searchresult[0]["videoId"])
print(rawsong[lyrics]) #browseId for get_lyrics

When I run this code in my pc, i can get the result I want

MPLYt_27ndWY9eEBp-1

But when I run this code in repl.it, the result is None

When I passed a valid BrowseId in get_lyrics in repl.it

l = ytmusic.get_lyrics(browseId='MPLYt_6dtfdY3Qa8g-1')

I still cant get the result, but same code in my pc can get the result (the lyrics) I want

How can I solve this error?

From the limited information you have given it seems likely that there is a difference between the two environments, like different credentials

Yes that's all I know. Is the reason possible to be repl.it rate-limit by official youtube music api? Therefore, ytmusicapi cannot return the correct value

I don't think that's the issue. As the lyrics key is None, it seems that your instance is not properly authenticated. Can you get other library endpoints, like get_library_playlists in repl.it?
