Hey there. I read a lot of forum topics and still can’t figure this out. I try to return the results of API call in my plugin and I use context.async, but when I run it there is this error. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/5/0/504ad67fbd2b611a8b455742729588d043a9a29d.png) Here is the part of the code with context.async: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/b/a/badd5433ec05da5cf98beaa2be789daf15705882.png) I hope somebody can help me ---

Yes, this is exactly what the problem was. Just need to change it to `context.v3.async` and it’s fine. Thanks! Edit: Turns out you don’t need to use `context.async` at all. Just `await` now.
