Unauthorized Intrinio request -> {message}

Error message

Unauthorized Intrinio request -> {message}

What it means

UnauthorizedError from the forward sales estimates fetch callback when the Intrinio body error's message contains 'api key'. Identical pattern to the EPS variant: the zacks/forward_sales endpoint rejected the credential, and the provider surfaces it as UnauthorizedError so the router maps it to an auth failure.

Solutions

1. Configure a valid key via obb.user.credentials.intrinio_api_key or INTRINIO_API_KEY.
2. Validate the key directly: curl 'https://api-v2.intrinio.com/zacks/forward_sales?api_key=KEY'.
3. Confirm plan entitlement for Zacks estimates data.
4. Re-enter the key cleanly, avoiding trailing newline.

key = os.environ.get('INTRINIO_API_KEY')
if not key or len(key.strip()) < 10:
    raise RuntimeError('INTRINIO_API_KEY missing or obviously malformed')

from openbb_core.provider.exceptions import UnauthorizedError
try:
    res = obb.equity.estimates.forward_sales(symbol=sym, provider='intrinio')
except UnauthorizedError:
    refresh_intrinio_credentials()

When it happens

Trigger: equity/estimates/forward_sales with provider='intrinio' with missing/invalid/expired intrinio_api_key, or a key without the Zacks sales estimates entitlement; Intrinio returns body JSON with error plus a message mentioning the API key.

Common situations: Credentials never configured in the OpenBB hub; expired key; free tier; key corrupted by whitespace in env var or config file.

Understand the failure class

• Authentication and authorization failures — expired tokens, bad credentials, and missing scopes.
