When filtering by email in get_person, search_by = 'email' no longer works.

[afitts]

Expected Behavior

When passing an email string to get_person method of ActionNetworkApi I expect to get a JSON back with person's info.

Current Behavior

When passing an email string to get_person method of ActionNetworkApi I get the following error:
JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Possible Solution

On line 51 of api.py:
def get_person(self, person_id=None, search_by='email', search_string=None):
should now read as:
def get_person(self, person_id=None, search_by='email_address', search_string=None):

Thanks Philly for the code. New Orleans DSA here. I came here to upvote the issue.

I got around it with the following:

    an = ActionNetworkApi(api_key=ACTION_NETWORK_API_KEY)
    person = an.get_person(
        search_by="email_address", # <--- override default and use "email_address" 
        search_string=email_address
    )
