Error: {error} -> {message}

Error message

Error: {error} -> {message}

What it means

Generic OpenBBError from the forward P/E fetch callback for any Intrinio body-level error that is not an auth/entitlement failure (message lacks 'api key' and error lacks 'view this data'). It forwards the raw error code and message, e.g. 'Error: 404 Not Found -> ' for an unknown symbol on the all-symbols bulk URL.

Solutions

1. Read the embedded error/message pair - it is Intrinio's verbatim response.
2. If it indicates throttling, back off and retry with fewer symbols per minute.
3. Verify the endpoint contract on Intrinio's docs if the error suggests a parameter problem.
4. Update the openbb-intrinio provider package in case the URL/query format changed.

from openbb_core.provider.exceptions import OpenBBError
try:
    res = obb.equity.estimates.forward_pe(symbol=sym, provider='intrinio')
except OpenBBError as e:
    if 'limit' in str(e).lower() or '429' in str(e):
        time.sleep(60); retry()
    else:
        raise

When it happens

Trigger: The no-symbol bulk call 'https://api-v2.intrinio.com/zacks/forward_pe?page_size=10000&api_key=...' (or a per-symbol variant) returning a JSON error body: invalid parameter, bad request shape, rate-limit message in the body, or endpoint change.

Common situations: Hitting Intrinio rate limits expressed as body errors; Intrinio API version changes altering the endpoint contract; malformed query construction after library upgrades.
