Thank you @zerosandones for working your way through this. I'm now following your path. Looking at the GitHub repository, it seems the author has not worked on this since 02-Mar-2020, so none of your fixes have been applied. Anyway, I'm stuck at a new error.

I changed the import statement from:

```auto
from joplin_api import JoplinApi

```

to

```auto
from joplin_api import JoplinApiSync as JoplinApi

```

Then I changed the 3 occurrences of:

```auto
res = await some_function

```

to remove the `await` like this:

```auto
res = some_function

```

Now it gets through all my "Reading note" steps, and then it gets through 174/701 of my "Writing note" steps before failing:

```auto

I'm using Python 3.8.6.

Any idea what's causing this?
