Joplin Version (CLI): 1.6.4 (prod)  
OS: Debian 10 (Buster)  
Installation Method: Supported (via npm)

Howdy!

Just for context, I am trying to use/configure [joplin-vscode-plugin](https://github.com/rxliuli/joplin-vscode-plugin). I understand that this is not one of your products, but after a quick discussion with the developer, they sent me here. The package apparently depends on a feature implemented after Joplin ver 1.4 referred to as "action API". However, when I run a version of Joplin that exceeds this constraint (ver 1.6.4), I receive the following message in the joplin server logs `Error: No action API has been setup!`. The same occurs when using curl to do a direct request to the endpoint. Do you mind giving insight into this issue?

Thanks,

Yes this is not supported on the CLI tool, so you'd need to use the desktop app.
