Error message

No results were found with the query supplied. -> {query.query} Hint: Names and descriptions are not searchable from Intrinio, try 3-letter symbols.

What it means

Raised in IntrinioCurrencyPairsFetcher.transform_data after the full pairs DataFrame was filtered by query.query and zero rows matched. The pandas filter does a case-insensitive substring match on code, base_currency, and quote_currency only — names and descriptions are not in this dataset, hence the hint in the message.

Solutions

1. Use 3-letter currency codes: query='eur' or query='usd'
2. Search the base or quote currency code, not the pair word ('eur/usd' works via code substring, 'euro dollar' does not)
3. Drop the query parameter and filter the returned DataFrame yourself on any column, including names, client-side

Example fix

# before
df = obb.currency.currency_pairs(provider="intrinio", query="euro dollar").to_df()

# after
df = obb.currency.currency_pairs(provider="intrinio").to_df()
df = df[df["base_currency"].str.contains("Euro", case=False) | df["quote_currency"].str.contains("Euro", case=False)]

import re

CURRENCY_CODE = re.compile(r"^[A-Za-z]{3}$")

def searchable_currency_query(q: str) -> bool:
    """Only 3-letter ISO codes reliably match code/base/quote columns."""
    return bool(CURRENCY_CODE.match(q))

from openbb_core.provider.utils.errors import EmptyDataError

try:
    df = obb.currency.currency_pairs(provider="intrinio", query=q).to_df()
except EmptyDataError:
    df = obb.currency.currency_pairs(provider="intrinio").to_df()
    df = df[df.apply(lambda r: q.lower() in str(r.to_dict()).lower(), axis=1)]  # client-side filter

When it happens

Trigger: Calling currency.currency_pairs(provider='intrinio', query='...') with a search string that matches no code/base/quote currency: full words like 'dollar' or 'yen', plural forms, or typos. Only 3-letter ISO codes (e.g. 'eur', 'usd', 'jpy') and their combinations match reliably.

Common situations: Users wiring a free-text search box straight into the query param; searching by currency name ('Euro') instead of code ('EUR'); assuming the filter searches the display name as some other providers do.
