Error message

Unauthorized Intrinio request -> {message}

What it means

UnauthorizedError raised in the fetch_callback of the bulk (no-symbol) path of IntrinioForwardEbitdaEstimatesFetcher: the response JSON has an 'error' key and its 'message' contains 'api key', i.e. Intrinio rejected the credential on the ebitda-consensus endpoint.

Solutions

1. Set a valid key: obb.account.credentials.intrinio_api_key = '<key>' or the INTRINIO_API_KEY env var
2. Confirm the key works: curl the endpoint directly with api_key=<key>
3. Ensure the subscription includes Analyst Estimates / consensus data

def intrinio_key_ready() -> bool:
    return bool(obb.account.credentials.intrinio_api_key)

from openbb_core.provider.utils.errors import UnauthorizedError

from openbb_core.provider.utils.errors import UnauthorizedError

try:
    res = await obb.equity.estimates.ebitda(provider="intrinio")
except UnauthorizedError as e:
    raise RuntimeError("set a valid intrinio_api_key with estimates access") from e

When it happens

Trigger: Calling forward EBITDA estimates without per-symbol mode using a missing, invalid, expired, or under-privileged intrinio_api_key. Detection is the substring 'api key' in the error message.

Common situations: Key not configured in the environment/obb.account; key from a plan without analyst estimates access; rotated key not refreshed; CI without credentials.

Understand the failure class

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