I’m trying to install joplin-api in PyCharm which fails. I’ve tried in a powershell and get a similar error.

Here is the error I receive with some redaction:

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: ‘C:\Users…\venv\Scripts\python.exe’ -u -c ‘import sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = ‘"’"‘C:\Users…\AppData\Local\Temp\pycharm-packaging\immutablessetup.py’"’"’; file=’"’"‘C:\Users…\AppData\Local\Temp\pycharm-packaging\immutablessetup.py’"’"’;f=getattr(tokenize, ‘"’"‘open’"’"’, open)(file);code=f.read().replace(’"’"’\r\n’"’"’, ‘"’"’\n’"’"’);f.close();exec(compile(code, file, ‘"’"‘exec’"’"’))’ install --record ‘C:\Users…\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-record-weg7w0b_\install-record.txt’ --single-version-externally-managed --compile --install-headers ‘C:\Users…\venv\include\site\python3.6\immutables’ Check the logs for full command output.

With powershell:

Thanks

Maybe @foxmask can help you out. Since the api is just a simple rest api you can also use the requests library in python to work with the api, no need for a library (although the library is really nice).

Here is a basic example

import requests

token = TOKEN_STRING_COPIED_FROM_WEBCLIPPER_PAGE
host = 'http://127.0.0.1:41184'

if requests.get("{}/ping".format(host)).text != u'JoplinClipperServer':
    print("Can not find Joplin Clipper service")
    exit()

params = {'token': token}
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
notes = requests.get("{}/notes".format(host), params=params).json()
print(notes)

how do you install?
what do you enter?
can you enter
pip install httpx
?

#4

I tried installing in PyCharm in settings, project interpreter as well as in a console as well as in a windows powershell. I cannot install httpx either. This says it requires Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0. Is httpx a dependency for joplin-api? It so, I guess I could install Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0. Thanks.

#5

so it’s not an install problem with Joplin API nor httpx but with pychzrm or vscode (there is vscodium if you prefer not being tracked by Microsoft)
you should have a look a the vscode/pycharm faq to be able to install what you need

#6

I solved this problems by installing Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0.
