JSON Response to a List collection or Array

Question

I am struggling to figure out why my JsonConvert.DeserializeObject is returning back Null. From what I understand, everything seems to be correct and I can see the Json response from GetStringAsync(myURL).

Property class was made through QuickType (also tried directly through Visual Studio Paste from Json class creator).

My property Class:

public partial class MoversRoot
{
    List<Movers> getMovers { get; set; }
}
public partial class Movers
{
    [JsonProperty("change")]
    public long Change { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("description")]
    public string Description { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("direction")]
    public string Direction { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("last")]
    public long Last { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("symbol")]
    public string Symbol { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("totalVolume")]
    public long TotalVolume { get; set; }
}

Below is my code that uses an instance of HttpClient to GetStringAsync - getData in debug shows my Json response as it should. here is the screenshot of the Json through inspector.

However my var movers is Null when debugging. I've tried various ways and my movers var always ends up being null. where did I go wrong?

string myURL = new Uri(@"https://api.tdameritrade.com/v1/marketdata/$SPX.X/movers?apikey=" + token).ToString();          

            var getData = await HttpClientInstance.Instance.GetStringAsync(myURL);

            var movers = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MoversRoot>(getData);

Json String (per request):

Answer 1

Replace

JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MoversRoot>(getData);

with

 JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Movers>>(data);

and change the long property to double
