#' @description
#' Retrieves metadata for a text, identified by its sigle (id) using the corresponding KorAP API
#' (see [Kustvakt Wiki](https://github.com/KorAP/Kustvakt/wiki/Service:-Metadata-Retrieval)).
#'
#'
#' @param kco [KorAPConnection()] object (obtained e.g. from `new("KorAPConnection")`)
#' @param textSigle unique text id (concatenation of corpus, document and text ids, separated by `/`, e.g. ) or vector thereof
#' @param verbose logical. If `TRUE`, additional diagnostics are printed. Defaults to `kco@verbose`.
#'
#' @return Tibble with columns for each metadata property. In case of errors, such as non-existing texts/sigles, the tibble will also contain a column called `errors`.
#' If there are metadata columns you cannot make sense of, please ignore them. The function simply returns all the metadata it gets from the server.
