tumblr, KeyError: 'offset', "pagination": "offset" not progressing to page 2; debug attached #8720
Description
tumblr; KeyError: 'offset;, "pagination": "offset" not progressing to page 2
I use config file with my api key, but also received the same error when not using my config.
Error:

KeyError: 'offset'
I tried to hack it to get a short-term solution:
Besides params["offset"] -> KeyError: 'offset',
then params["limit"] a str, wouldn't add to params["offset"
then data["total_posts"] -> KeyError: "total_posts"
So:
else: # offset
params["offset"] =
text.parse_int(params.get("offset", 0)) + text.parse_int(params.get("limit", 0))
#text.parse_int(params["offset"]) + params["limit"]
params["before"] = None
if params["offset"] >= 200:
#if params["offset"] >= data["total_posts"]:
return
It seems to be working, or at least going to the next page. So, no rush.
Also, thanks for this awesome software!!
