Error message

Intrinio Error Message -> {init_response['error']}: {init_response.get('message')}

What it means

Raised in the pagination callback of IntrinioEquityHistoricalFetcher when the first page of the /securities/{symbol}/prices (or /intervals) response contains an 'error' key. The message embeds both the Intrinio error code and its message so the caller sees the upstream reason verbatim.

Solutions

1. Read the embedded error code/message — it is Intrinio's own text and names the exact problem
2. Validate the symbol first (obb.equity.search / obb.equity.profile) and use Intrinio's expected ticker format
3. For intraday intervals, confirm your plan supports real-time/intervals data and use supported interval values
4. Check the date range parameters; some endpoints limit how far back you can query

SUPPORTED_INTERVALS = {"1m", "5m", "10m", "15m", "30m", "60m", "1h", "1d", "1W", "1M"}

def historical_params_ok(symbol: str, interval: str) -> bool:
    return bool(symbol) and symbol.replace("-", "").replace(".", "").isalnum() and interval in SUPPORTED_INTERVALS

    bars = await obb.equity.price.historical(provider="intrinio", symbol=sym, interval="1d")

When it happens

Trigger: Historical price requests with an invalid/delisted symbol, unsupported parameter combos (e.g. an interval/frequency the security doesn't support), bad date parameters, or auth/subscription problems phrased without the 'api key' wording. Also fires when query._interval_size or _frequency resolution produces a URL the API rejects.

Common situations: Requesting intraday (1m/5m/...) bars where Intrinio requires the intervals API and specific plans; symbols with dashes/Share classes formatted incorrectly; start_date/end_date outside allowed ranges; paid-plan feature limits.
