Debug

Known issues

breakingIn v0.13.0, the SDK migrated from 'asknews_sdk' to 'asknews' package. Imports and API structure changed.

fix

Uninstall old package (pip uninstall asknews-sdk) and install asknews (pip install asknews). Update imports from asknews_sdk to asknews.

affects: <0.13.0

gotchaThe API key and user ID must be provided together. Missing either will cause authentication failure.

fix

Set both environment variables: ASKNEWS_API_KEY and ASKNEWS_USER_ID.

affects: all

gotchaThe search_news method's 'return_type' parameter defaults to 'articles', but some endpoints expect 'story' or 'alert'. Using wrong type may return empty results.

fix

Check the API docs for the correct return_type value for your query.

affects: all
