Invalid syntax

[lajlev]

I get invalid syntax when I run python download_and_index.py --apikey MYADMINKEY

@lajlev This is because you are using an earlier version than Python 3.6. Could you try installing 3.6 and see if things work then?

Worked, but I bumped into another error message

python3 download_and_index.py --apikey 272f23a5be622454da4f18bc6b7a5d6d

Progress! :)

That second error means that BGGs API didn’t work just when you made the request. Seems the API is somewhat shaky... Does it work if you try again?

[lajlev]

Worked 👍
