Just as a side project I decided to make a discord bot that allows for users to enter a word and get its defintion. I’ve gotten most of the things done except for the command that actually gets the definition. I’m using FreeDictionaryAPI and when I run

public class DictionaryCommand : BaseCommandModule
{
    [Command("dict")]
    public async Task dictCommand(CommandContext ctx)
    {
        //await ctx.Channel.SendMessageAsync("Penis");

        var dictionary = new DictionaryOutput();
        await dictionary.getDefinition(ctx.Message.Content);
        await ctx.Channel.SendMessageAsync(dictionary.defo); 
    }
}

in theory it should run

public async Task getDefinition(string message)
{
    //Dictionary stuff
    string DictionaryURL = "https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/" + message;

    using (var client = new HttpClient())
    {
        try
        {
            var response = await client.GetStringAsync(DictionaryURL);
            List<Word>? word = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<List<Word>>(response.ToString());
            Console.WriteLine(word);

            defo = word[0].meanings[0].definitions[0].definition;
        }
        catch (HttpRequestException exception)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Error: {0}", exception);
        }
    }
}

However, it returns

Error: System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found).
   at System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage.EnsureSuccessStatusCode()
   at System.Net.Http.HttpClient.GetStringAsyncCore(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
   at DictionaryAPITesting.DictionaryOutput.getDefinition(String message) C:reposDictionaryAPITestingDictionaryAPITestingDictionaryOutput.cs:line 18

Line 18 is the line that contains var response = await client.GetStringAsync(DictionaryURL);

It works fine when the method is .GetAsync but breaks the moment it is switched to .GetStringAsync

So far I have tried to have it simply using the .GetAsync method rather than the .GetStringAsync method, but this has proven futile after the entire program just decides to not run. This is really the only thing I’ve tried thus far as I don’t really know what the issue is. Is there a way to fix this?
