JSONDecodeError

[davidmoshal]

• install datasette and this plugin today (ie: latest version)
• latest Macos
• set the api token (which is working, I have other Todoist apps using the same token)
• ran: todoist-to-sqlite sync todoist.db

resulted in this error:

I just ran into the same issue on linux and I think it's a problem with the pytodoist package. I put a breakpoint in and looked at the output of api.sync(api_token=token, sync_token="") and it was a 410 reponse object with the text:

"This endpoint is deprecated.\n\nIf you're reading this on a browser, there's a good chance you can change\nthe v8 part on the URL to v9 and get away with it. ;)\n\nIf you're using the API directly, please update your use case to rely\non the new API endpoints, available under /sync/v9/ or /rest/v2/ prefixes.\n\nFor more details, please see documentation at\nhttps://developer.todoist.com/guides/#our-apis\n\n"

in the debugger I tried setting the api by doing api.URL='https://api.todoist.com/API/v9/' and that resulted in a 403 (and the same text message as the 410). 🤔

The "bad" news is that the pytodoist package looks like it has not been updated in a while.

I went and looked for an alternative todoist package and it looks like the "offical" one is https://github.com/Doist/todoist-api-python
