QOwnNotesAPI Invalid query, please check the syntax

[thomasrich007]

This is the POPUP everytime I login into QOwnNotes Software (Below). What do I need to look for to solve this error.

Nextcloud / ownCloud server error: Invalid query, please check the syntax. API specifications are here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/open-collaboration-services.
Please check your Nextcloud / ownCloud configuration.

The connection was made successfully!
Server version: 30.0.16.1
QOwnNotesAPI version: 25.8.0

Can you please describe what you expected, what the actual behavior was, and step by step what you did?

[pbek]

And some Nextcloud logs from your server would be great to see what is happening there.

I had import from Nextcloud backup just the files and database related to the Files.
I installed Qowncloud Notes. Everytime I open the Software is will give the top of the posting message, which I continuously need to click on until I stop using the Software. It will capture still input with the Text Files created.

I'm not sure if I understand what you are talking about. 😬
Maybe screenshots could help?

That looks like a dialog from QOwnNotes with an error message from your Nextcloud server. What version of Nextcloud are you using? Any error logs on your Nextcloud server?

[thomasrich007]

Nextcloud Hub 9 (30.0.16)
The logs is what I could filter out with QOwnNotesAPI on the above message. Unless you want me to filter out error message a different way.

What happens if you disable the QOwnNotesAPI app support in QOwnNotes?

[thomasrich007]

With is back on

What happens if you disable the QOwnNotesAPI app support in QOwnNotes?

Did you get the dialog when it was disabled?

[thomasrich007]

YES

Then I don't understand where QOwnNotesAPI comes into play in your opinion. That's a Nextcloud App.
Please open a QOwnNotes issue with proper context of your settings (see issue template).
