Error message

No data was returned.

What it means

EmptyDataError raised in IntrinioEtfPricePerformanceFetcher after asyncio.gather over all symbols: none of the get_one tasks appended to 'results', meaning every symbol's analytics/price-performance lookup yielded nothing (individual failures typically warn or silently skip).

Solutions

1. Use real ETF tickers (SPY, QQQ) — verify with obb.etf.search(provider='intrinio', query='...')
2. Try a subset of symbols to isolate which ones are the problem, since partial failures only warn
3. Catch EmptyDataError and fall back to computing performance from obb.etf.historical prices

Example fix

# before
res = obb.etf.price_performance(provider="intrinio", symbol="SPX")

# after
res = obb.etf.price_performance(provider="intrinio", symbol="SPY")

def etf_symbols_have_analytics(symbols: list[str]) -> bool:
    return bool(symbols) and all(s.upper().replace(":US", "").isalpha() for s in symbols)

from openbb_core.provider.utils.errors import EmptyDataError

from openbb_core.provider.utils.errors import EmptyDataError

try:
    perf = await obb.etf.price_performance(provider="intrinio", symbol=sym)
except EmptyDataError:
    # compute performance from historical prices instead
    hist = await obb.etf.historical(provider="intrinio", symbol=sym)
    perf = compute_performance(hist.to_df())

When it happens

Trigger: Calling etf.price_performance(provider='intrinio', symbol=...) where every requested symbol is invalid, not an ETF, or lacks analytics data on Intrinio. Symbols are normalized (':US' handling appears nearby), so malformed input can also end up querying an unrecognizable identifier.

Common situations: Passing indices or non-ETF tickers (e.g. 'SPX'); tickers missing from Intrinio's analytics universe; batch pipelines with outdated ETF lists where every entry fails.
