Initialize client with API key, fetch data for AAPL.

import benzinga client = benzinga.Client(api_key=os.environ.get('BENZINGA_API_KEY', ''), retries=3, timeout=30) data = client.data(symbols=['AAPL'], start_date='2024-01-01', end_date='2024-01-05', format='json') print(data)
benzinga --version
Debug
Known issues
breakingIn version 1.x, the Client class replaced the old legacy API calls. Ensure you instantiate Client with api_key, retries, timeout.
fix
Use `client = benzinga.Client(api_key='...')` instead of raw requests.
affects: >=1.0.0
gotchaThe `data()` method returns raw JSON by default. To get a pandas DataFrame, you must pass `format='pandas'`.
fix
`client.data(symbols=[...], format='pandas')`
affects: all
gotchaAPI key is required for all requests. The library does not read environment variables automatically; you must pass the key explicitly.
fix
Set BENZINGA_API_KEY environment variable or pass string to Client.
affects: all
deprecatedThe `retries` and `timeout` parameters in Client were introduced in version 1.20. Older code without these may timeout on slow connections.
fix
Update to >=1.20 and add retries=3, timeout=30.
affects: <1.20
Errors
Common errors & fixes

Library not installed.
fix
pip install benzinga
benzinga.exceptions.AuthenticationError: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized
Invalid or missing API key.
fix
Ensure you have a valid Benzinga API key and pass it to Client: Client(api_key='your_key_here')
TypeError: Client() got an unexpected keyword argument 'retries'
Old version of benzinga (<1.20) does not support retries/timeout.
fix
Upgrade benzinga: pip install --upgrade benzinga
