Is this safe? #154

I accidentally clicked a button that instantaneously modified the state of thousands of notes. (Not sure what exactly, but I assume CTRL+A, thinking I was in a text box, followed by trying to type, and pressing one of the single-letter hotkeys for Archive/Delete.)

I would like to be able to to undo that accident, using the state of a Takeout archive as reference.

Would I be risking my Google account by doing so?

I.E., Is there any precedent or statement of Google disabling an account because of use of gkeepapi?

Not to my knowledge. You might hit rate limits, so I'd recommend making your code idempotent and/or adding retry logic

Cool. Well, I guess there's enough users of both this and downstream projects to trust we'd hear about it.

Sounds like a sensible precaution, and thanks for the quick response!
