The JSON value could not be converted to System.Collections.Generic.List`

Question

Hi, My JSON is not converting to a list. JsonException: The JSON value could not be converted to System.Collections.Generic.List`1[Amiibo.Models.NintendoAmiibos]. Path: $ | LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 1. My code:

using var client = new HttpClient();
var result = await client.GetAsync("https://www.amiiboapi.com/api/amiibo/");
if (result.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{    var json = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();    
     return JsonSerializer.Deserialize<List<NintendoAmiibos>>(json);
}

return new List<NintendoAmiibos>();

The class:

public class Release
{    
     [JsonPropertyName("au")] public string Au { get; set; }    
     [JsonPropertyName("eu")] public string Eu { get; set; }    
     [JsonPropertyName("jp")] public string Jp { get; set; }    
     [JsonPropertyName("na")] public string Na { get; set; }
}

public class NintendoAmiibos
{    
     [JsonPropertyName("amiiboSeries")] public string AmiiboSeries { get; set; }    
     [JsonPropertyName("character")] public string Character { get; set; }    
     [JsonPropertyName("gameSeries")] public string GameSeries { get; set; }    
     [JsonPropertyName("head")] public string Head { get; set; }    
     [JsonPropertyName("image")] public string Image { get; set; }    
     [JsonPropertyName("name")] public string Name { get; set; }    
     [JsonPropertyName("release")] public Release Release { get; set; }    
     [JsonPropertyName("tail")] public string Tail { get; set; }    
     [JsonPropertyName("type")] public string Type { get; set; }
}

Thank you in advance!

The result is not a list it is a single object that contains a list. .NET Core Console application

using HttpClientConsole;
using System.Text.Json;

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
Rootobject root = new Rootobject();

var result = await client.GetAsync("https://www.amiiboapi.com/api/amiibo/");
if (result.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
    var json = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
    root = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Rootobject>(json);
}

foreach (var item in root.amiibo)
{
    Console.WriteLine(item.character);
}

    public class Rootobject
    {
        public Amiibo[] amiibo { get; set; }
    }

    public class Amiibo
    {
        public string amiiboSeries { get; set; }
        public string character { get; set; }
        public string gameSeries { get; set; }
        public string head { get; set; }
        public string image { get; set; }
        public string name { get; set; }
        public Release release { get; set; }
        public string tail { get; set; }
        public string type { get; set; }
    }

    public class Release
    {
        public string au { get; set; }
        public string eu { get; set; }
        public string jp { get; set; }
        public string na { get; set; }
    }
