request for completed items returns Error: json: cannot unmarshal number into Go struct field CompletedItem.items.user_id of type string

I'm assuming this is a deprecated API? Is there some way I can dump the contents of the JSON to help debug?

Confirmed that this is a bug, running latest master.

This looks to be a bug in the response coming from the Todoist API.

The "user_id" field is returning as an integer instead of a string as in their API documentation. https://developer.todoist.com/sync/v9/#get-all-completed-items

I think for now the best course of action is to wait a few days for Todoist to resolve it on their end. I've opened a support ticket with Todoist to report this bug.

BTW you can pass a --debug flag to todoist but unfortunately it does not log the response body so it doesn't help with troubleshooting an error in the JSON.

[dasice]

yeah it would be nice for the debug to dump the json in the case that there's an error, but it's not a big deal

Got a response from todoist support. They said they are going to look into this and determine if the API change was intentional or not.

[kenliu]

@dasice I created #233 to add logging for the API response.

[kenliu]

@dasice todoist support says this is now resolved, it was a bug in their API that caused this.

UPDATE: We found the bug and made the correction now. The documentation was correct and so you should now be getting strings (and not integers) going forward.

Thank you, I can confirm that it works for me now, I really appreciate your upstream representation.
