Its because, before the api was released i wrapped the terminal command line which allow to rename folder, so i didnt remove it

Hello!
I have a problem with API with sample from docs:
Python 3.7.4 (tags/v3.7.4:e09359112e, Jul 8 2019, 19:29:22) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from joplin_api import JoplinApi
>>> joplin = JoplinApi(token='MY_TOKEN')
>>> joplin.ping()
<coroutine object JoplinApi.ping at 0x0373A810>
>>> folder = joplin.create_folder('folder_title')
>>> folder_id = folder.json()['id']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'json'
>>>
After that got error and in Jolpin not exist new folder.
Version: Joplin 1.0.161, Win10 x64, Python 3.7.4. In Jolpin enabled clipper.
What I am doing wrong ?
You made a mistake.
Doc says
>>> from joplin_api import JoplinApi
>>> joplin = JoplinApi(token='the token provided by Joplin in the WebClipper menu:P'))
>>> ping = await joplin.ping() # to check if the service is up
>>> print(ping.text)
You will notice the await keyword
If I add await, i have another error:
Python 3.7.4 (tags/v3.7.4:e09359112e, Jul 8 2019, 19:29:22) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
>>> from joplin_api import JoplinApi
>>> joplin = JoplinApi(token=MY_TOKEN)
>>> ping = await joplin.ping()
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: 'await' outside function
Search in internet: when use ‘async’, ‘await’ needed ‘event loop’.
I am confused, what i need to do
This should answer your questions https://github.com/foxmask/joplin-api/issues/4
I will improve the doc with the event loop
@foxmask I somehow doubt that using an event loop for a request API makes sense. while this could be great for your web project, it’s rather awkward for using the API in a simple python script or on the command line. Maybe I’m wrong, but this seems excessive to me.
@mrkingmidas with python 3.7+ you can use
asyncio.run(main())
instead of using the event loop by hand.
run is like a shortcut for it.

I underatand that, but what I'm saying is that it is not necessary to use asyncio for this API. At least not when using it in a script or when I quickly want to fire off a quick python code on the command line.
In that case it’s better to wrap the Joplin command line
Hello!
Please, make example how to use create_resource method ?
I am put full filename as described, file or base64 => anyway error:
{"error":"Resource cannot be created without a file"}
And in get_resource error:
path = f'/resource_id/{resource_id}'
not work and work
path = f'/resources/{resource_id}'
Also I am try access by requests module:
import requests as requests
host = 'http://127.0.0.1:41184'
res = requests.post(host + '/resources/', files={'data':data}, params={'token':JoplinToken})
OR
res = requests.post(host + '/resources/', files={'data':(data)}, params={'token':JoplinToken})
where data is:
- data=open(‘image.png’, ‘rb’)
- data=string “123”
- data=base64 encoded
And anyway error:
{"error":"Internal Server Error: Unexpected end of JSON input"}
What I am doing wrong ?
Global task: make script that import Markdown file with embeding images (by resources in Joplin termins)
Environment: Windows 10 x64, Joplin 1.0.165, Python 3.7
You can try with joplin import command line. I will make a try with your example
i’ve update the lib of the api, to update
pip install -U joplin-api
or clone the github project if you prefer
One of my scripts using joplin-api broke when upgrading from 1.4.6 to 1.6.6, but I'm not smart enough to fix it. I suppose it is related to the recent breaking changes in the API. Are you planning on updating this python wrapper? 
No,
I don't use joplin anymore so I couldnt test.
May be someone else could fork the project to add the missing stuff to make it compatible.
@mrkingmidas @Prinplup: If you are still looking for a python interface of the Joplin API, you could try GitHub - marph91/joppy: Python interface for the Joplin data API. I only tested it with Joplin 2.4.9 and Python 3.8 on Ubuntu, but maybe it works in your environment. I would be happy about feedback.

Marph, big thanks to you !
I tested API with win10 + Python 3.10.1x64 and Joplin 2.6.10 (prod, win32) - getting and modify notes works great!
Here script, that fills notes with only "URL" (from mobile Joplin) with readability text.
Used: joppy pypandoc readability-lxml
import pypandoc
import requests
from readability import Document as ReadabilityDocument
from joppy.api import Api
def replace_body2(api, note):
id = note["id"]
url = note["body"]
title = note["title"]
print(url)
res = requests.get(url, headers={'User-Agent': 'Chrome'}, timeout=30)
doc = ReadabilityDocument(res.text ,url=url)
body_html = doc.summary(html_partial=True)
if title==url:
title=doc.title()
api.modify_note(id, title=title)
body_md = pypandoc.convert_text(body_html,
format='html-native_divs',
to='gfm',
extra_args=['--wrap=none', '--quiet']
)
new_body = "# [{}]({})\n".format(title, url) + body_md
api.modify_note(id, source_url=url, body=new_body)
def main():
api = Api(token="YOUR TOKEN !")
print("Getting notes...")
all_notes = api.get_all_notes(fields="id,parent_id,title,source_url,body")
print("Notes: {}".format(len(all_notes)))
print("Finding notes...")
for note in all_notes:
body = note["body"]
if body[0:4]=="http" and body.find(" ") <= 0:
try:
replace_body2(api, note)
except:
print("Error at id={}, title={}".format(note["id"], note["title"]))
print("Done.")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
