I’ve tried restarting my computer, copying the url from Safari and google chrome, and uninstalling anki and redownloading it and it’s still not working. I can still like use the app just can’t import in anything from quizlet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced!

Aside from reporting the issue on GitHub by using the “Contact Author” button at the top of https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1362209126, this reply to one of the recent reviews with a similar error might help to fix it on your own (Tools > Manage Note Types).

KeyError: ‘FrontText’

Hi, 99% percent that you have changed the “Basic Quizlet Extended” note type. You should not do this, this is the “system” note type and the add-on uses it during the import. Try to rename it to something like Basic Quizlet Extended Old and import one more time, the add-on will re-create that note type.

Renamed the note type as suggested and it worked. Thank you!

Hi! just wanted to let people know that, although I did do the thing where I changed the name of the note type… I’m not sure that that helped… But what definitely helped me was deselecting the “download audio” button and selecting “add reverse” and selecting “skip errors” and clicking “import deck”
