No data found for the given symbol(s).

Error message

No data found for the given symbol(s).

What it means

EmptyDataError raised when the ticker extraction loop for futures info completed without exceptions but appended zero results — meaning every get_ticker_data task returned nothing usable. It distinguishes 'the API answered but gave nothing' from the transport failure case (263).

Solutions

1. Re-fetch the instrument list (get_instruments) and re-confirm the symbol is still actively quoted.
2. Use a perpetual (e.g. BTC-PERPETUAL) instead of dated contracts that expire.
3. Treat EmptyDataError as a normal empty result in pipelines and skip/log rather than fail.

# confirm the instrument is still actively quoted before the ticker call
from openbb_deribit.utils.helpers import get_instruments
names = {d["instrument_name"] for d in asyncio.run(get_instruments("all", "future"))}
symbols = [s for s in symbols if s in names]  # drop expired/rolled contracts

from openbb_core.provider.utils.errors import EmptyDataError
try:
    res = obb.derivatives.futures.info(symbol=s, provider="deribit")
except EmptyDataError:
    res = None  # contract likely expired between validation and fetch; refresh list

When it happens

Trigger: All requested symbols resolved to instruments Deribit no longer returns ticker data for (just-expired contracts), or responses that were empty result objects. Because symbols were already validated in the query model, this path is rare and usually means the instrument expired between validation and the ticker call.

Common situations: Querying a contract on its expiry day, or a job that cached a symbol list hours/days earlier and replays it after Deribit rolled contracts.
