Blotter Alpaca Monitor: TypeError(f'the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray)

Technical Help
#1

Papertrail just sent me these. I don't see anything tangible breaking internally but am wondering where or why they're being generated.
TypeError(f'the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray)

I get similar errors on a regular basis. I think in my case, it's because I have an Alpaca API account/key registered, but the account is not funded (I only use the API for the streaming data feed). When the blotter requests account info from Alpaca, it returns a None response that isn't error handled. Likewise, I haven't seen any negative impacts.

@Brian My log error below, maybe suppress the monitor for unfunded accounts?

@bjsun this would definitely explain it for me as well. I do have 2 at Alpaca, and one of them I just moved to $0 but still collect data. Thank you for taking the time to reach out.
