invalid character 'C' looking for beginning of value is usually a wrong or missing api key which is needed, please confirm if you set it correctly. The error message could definitely be improved in case it is a wrong api key...

[explanar]

python3.5-requests-futures is installed, Installation ran smoothly. Whats the needed action to check if needed api key is missing?

[alex2108]

python requests?

How do you start it? you need to specify the syncthing api key via command line

[explanar]

The .Desktop File (autostarted)

$cat ~/.config/autostart/syncthing-start.desktop

[Desktop Entry] Name=Start Syncthing GenericName=File synchronization Comment=Starts the main syncthing process in the background.

[explanar]

How can api be specified within the execution command? (Sorry didn't want to close please reopen. It was an accident-klick...)

A syncthing api key needs to be provided via -api STAPIKEY

I have no idea what "indicator-syncthing.py" has in it since it is not from this project and I don't find any info about it anywhere, I guess you have to ask at the place where you got that file from or post it here. Probably edit the command line that starts syncthing-tray in there.
