Update README

Error on SongClient.GetSong(songId)

Hi!
The new update is working well but I seem to be getting exceptions on the following method:

var response = await geniusClient.SongClient.GetSong(songId);

This only seems to happen for some songs. One of which is 5524080

I don't think it's anything to do with API limits as it's consistent for some songs. It looks like an error parsing some user data from the info below...perhaps expecting a string value for the avatar:tiny:url when the API provides null?

Exception:

Expected: ", null

Stack Trace:

Cant get an album

After Search.DoSearch(); in album property always see null. How to get this information?

Jil.DeserializationException: Expected: ", null

Calling GetSong with songid 6267625

geniusClient.SongClient.GetSong(6267625);

throws this exception:

Jil.DeserializationException: Expected: ", null

Seems like there is something wrong with the deserialization but I can't find the error since I'm not familiar with the Jil library. I can't find a way to handle deserialization errors with this library in order to get a more "talking error".
Have you considered using the more popular Newtonsoft.Json?

Jil.DeserializationException: Expected digit when requesting not existing page with ArtistClient.GetArtistsSongs method

When I try to request an invalid page, using, for example, that piece of code:

GeniusClient _geniusClient;
var songs = await _geniusClient.ArtistClient.GetArtistsSongs(16775, sort: "title", perPage: "10", page: "3000");

I'm getting this error:
Jil.DeserializationException: Expected digit

Create the WIKI

export song format on GetSong

currently it's fixed to html, it would be nice to support other formats.

Upgrade the PCL to .NET Standard

Can't seem to search

Hi,
I've just installed the package and I'm trying to carry out my first search.
I've registered my app on Genius and generated a token on there I want to use in the background of my website to grab lyrics and annotations.

I try the following code below:

var geniusClient = new GeniusClient("MY_TOKEN_FROM_THE_GENIUS_PORTAL");
var lyricResult = await geniusClient.SearchClient.Search(Genius.Models.TextFormat.Dom, "1979 The Smashing Pumpkins");

and get the error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Can you help?

Nuget Out of Date

@prajjwaldimri it looks like the version of this on nuget is out of date even though it’s labelled up as 2.0. For example the AppleMusicId in Models.Song doesn’t exist on the nuget version.
Could you release the latest code to Nuget please?

Jil.DeserializationException: 'Expected digit'

Getting the above error message while looping around the artist songs;

artistsSongs = await client.ArtistClient.GetArtistsSongs(Convert.ToUInt64(key), sort: "title", page: nextpage.ToString());

Question: retrieving lyrics

Hello, how would I go about getting lyrics for a song using Genius.NET?

So far, I've got the following:

 
             var searchResult = await genius_client.SearchClient.Search(searchterm);
            await ReplyAsync($"first rs: {searchResult.Response.Hits[0].Result.Id}"); // Printing the ID for debugging 

            var searchSong = await genius_client.SongClient.GetSong(searchResult.Response.Hits[0].Result.Id);
            // I now need to find the Lyrics from the songSearch

        

Yet I can't seem to find a lyrics object (other than objects for when the lyrics were marked as completed/accurate etc...)

I would appreciate your help,
Many thanks
