Error message

Trading 212 connector not configured: missing {', '.join(missing)}.

What it means

Raised by _request when the supplied Trading212Config is missing required fields (as computed by _missing_fields), meaning the connector has not been fully configured before an API call. Every HTTP helper (_get and everything above it) checks this before touching the network.

Solutions

Run the connector setup (check_status/build_config flow) and provide the required fields (typically api_key and base_url) via save_config
If a config file exists, verify it isn't being parsed into an empty config (see error 1310)
In code, check _missing_fields(config) or config completeness before calling API helpers

Example fix

# before
config = load_config()
positions = get_positions(config)  # raises if unconfigured
# after
missing = _missing_fields(config)
if missing:
    ...  # run setup / prompt user
positions = get_positions(config)

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

from trading.connectors.trading212.sdk import _missing_fields, load_config

config = load_config()
missing = _missing_fields(config)
if missing:
    raise SystemExit(f"finish connector setup first; missing: {missing}")

Type guard

from typing import Any
from trading.connectors.trading212.sdk import _missing_fields, Trading212Config

def is_configured(config: Trading212Config) -> bool:
    return not _missing_fields(config)

Try / catch

try:
    data = get_positions(config)
except Trading212ConfigError as exc:
    if "not configured" in str(exc):
        ...  # route user to setup flow
    raise

Prevention

Call check_status() at app startup and surface missing fields to the user
Gate API calls behind an is_configured check in UI/tests
Fail fast in CI with a clear message instead of hitting API helpers

When it happens

Trigger: Calling any endpoint helper (e.g. get_positions, get_account_snapshot) with a config where required fields such as api_key/base_url are empty — typically when load_config returned the default empty Trading212Config because no config file exists, or save_config was never called.

Common situations: Fresh install with no configuration step run; config file deleted or never created; test environment asserting on API calls without setting config; CI running integration code paths without credentials.
