Error: {error} -> {message}

Error message

Error: {error} -> {message}

What it means

Generic OpenBBError from the forward sales estimates callback for Intrinio body errors unrelated to API keys. Wraps the raw error and message fields so the caller sees exactly what Intrinio reported for the zacks/forward_sales request (including paginated next_page fetches, which reuse amake_request but surface errors here only on the first page).

Solutions

1. Read the raw '{error} -> {message}' content to classify the failure.
2. Fix symbol or parameter per the message.
3. Add request spacing to avoid rate-limit errors.
4. Update openbb-intrinio if the endpoint contract changed.

import re
def is_ticker(s): return bool(re.fullmatch(r'[A-Z.\-]{1,8}', s.upper()))

from openbb_core.provider.exceptions import OpenBBError
try:
    res = obb.equity.estimates.forward_sales(symbol=sym, provider='intrinio')
except OpenBBError as e:
    log.warning('intrinio forward_sales failed for %s: %s', sym, e)
    raise

When it happens

Trigger: equity/estimates/forward_sales with provider='intrinio' where the initial page returns a JSON error body: invalid symbol or parameter, rate limit expressed in body, or endpoint contract change.

Common situations: Misspelled/delisted tickers; throttling after bursts of estimate calls; Intrinio API schema changes after provider package updates lag.
