My Question or Issue

Hi,
I'm currently creating an app that uses Spotify Web API.
While using the "Get Artist" reference, I get JSON response that is not compatible with the Spotify Web API documentation.

In the documentation, it is said that field "followers.total" is integer, but I'm getting float. The same issue appears in fields: popularity, images.height, images.width

Example of "Get Artist" request:
curl --request GET \
--url https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/0C8ZW7ezQVs4URX5aX7Kqx \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ...'

Response:

{
"external_urls": {
"spotify": "https://open.spotify.com/artist/0C8ZW7ezQVs4URX5aX7Kqx"
},
"followers": {
"href": null,
"total": 4.7397795E7
},
"genres": [
"pop",
"post-teen pop"
],
"href": "https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/0C8ZW7ezQVs4URX5aX7Kqx",
"id": "0C8ZW7ezQVs4URX5aX7Kqx",
"images": [
{
"url": "https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb0c8eb928813cd06614c0710d",

},
{

}
],
