Error message

{e}

What it means

OpenBBError wrapping any exception raised while fetching forward P/E data for a single symbol inside get_one(). The amake_request call (or its response_callback) threw something other than a pass-through OpenBBError, and this handler re-raises it as OpenBBError with the original as cause, so per-symbol network/parse failures are not silently dropped when symbols are requested individually.

Solutions

1. Inspect the wrapped exception text (it embeds the underlying error) to identify network vs parse failure.
2. Retry the single failing symbol after a short delay for transient network errors.
3. Verify the symbol with a direct curl to the same URL including your api_key.
4. Split large symbol batches to isolate the failing ticker.

import socket
socket.gethostbyname('api-v2.intrinio.com')  # fail fast on DNS problems before the call

from openbb_core.provider.exceptions import OpenBBError
import time
for attempt in range(3):
    try:
        res = obb.equity.estimates.forward_pe(symbol=sym, provider='intrinio')
        break
    except OpenBBError as e:
        if attempt == 2 or 'empty' in str(e).lower():
            raise
        time.sleep(2 ** attempt)

When it happens

Trigger: equity/estimates/forward_pe with provider=intrinio where amake_request for 'https://api-v2.intrinio.com/zacks/forward_pe/{symbol}' raises a network timeout, connection reset, JSON decode error, or unexpected status; also raised from the per-symbol path when the callback itself throws.

Common situations: Transient network failures or DNS issues; Intrinio returning non-JSON (HTML error page) for a bad symbol; proxies/firewalls intercepting the request; one bad ticker in a comma-separated batch.
