Hello all,

this seems to be an issue within the person.py:

Hi, tried to solve it but couldnt find any solution. For now I am just use try/except on the part with worktimes because it doesnt matter in my use case. @joeyism any ideas why it is happening? Happens to some accounts, some working fine. I think this one should catch this error

you can also just add the line work_times, company, location, position_title = "", "","","" above line 130
