Issue Importing Synoptic API token

[charliephillips4201]

Hi Brian,

First time trying out SynopticPy - thank you for creating this tool! I've installed via conda, and when I do the first step here (https://synopticpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/setup.html) of typing "import synoptic.services" and enter my API token, I get the following error. I've tried this with multiple Synoptic API tokens.

What is your Synoptic API token? >>> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxd47a

Thanks! I will do a quick test...

    response = json["SUMMARY"]["RESPONSE_MESSAGE"]

KeyError: 'SUMMARY'

I've tried deleting the config file and uninstalling/reinstalling synopticpy and get the same error. I am running Python 3.12.3

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Thanks for reporting this. I'll have to look into it. I wonder if the returned json has changed??? It seems like the "SUMMARY" key isn't there.

I apologize I never got around to addressing this issue. I actually re-wrote this package from the ground up. If you're still using SynopticPy, I'd suggest trying the new upgrade (though it is a 100% breaking change) or pinning your version to the last legacy version 2024.9.0.
