problem when loading star

[cpiaulet]

Hi,
I have the latest version of kplr installed with python 3.
When I run the following bit of code from the tutorial:

import kplr
client = kplr.API()

# Find a KOI.
koi = client.koi(952.01)
print(koi.koi_period)

# This KOI has an associated star.
star = koi.star

This last line produces an error
"

APIError: The API returned code 200 for URL: 'https://archive.stsci.edu/kepler/kic10/search.php?kic_kepler_id=9787239&max_records=1&action=Search&outputformat=JSON&coordformat=dec&verb=3' with message:
No JSON object could be decoded.

"

Has anyone encountered this issue, and do you know how to solve it?
Thanks,
Caroline

Hi Caroline, I've had the same error

APIError: The API returned code 200 for URL: 'https://archive.stsci.edu/kepler/kic10/search.php?kic_kepler_id=11029516.0&max_records=1&action=Search&outputformat=JSON&coordformat=dec&verb=3' with message:
No JSON object could be decoded.

when I did

        client = kplr.API()
        star = client.star(kicid)

I'm not sure how to solve it either

Hello @dfm
please let me know about this issue.. I am still having the same problem. Thank you!

@vanshreee: It's possible that the change I just pushed to the main branch will do it for you, but I'd recommend using astroquery or lightkurve instead of kplr because I'm not supporting it anymore.
