Initialize session with credentials, then fetch a risk model.

from gs_quant.session import Session from gs_quant.api import GxQuantApi import os # Authenticate with client id and secret Session.use(client_id=os.environ.get('GS_CLIENT_ID', ''), client_secret=os.environ.get('GS_CLIENT_SECRET', '')) # Fetch risk model data api = GxQuantApi() model = api.get_risk_model('GSM2') print(model.name)

Debug

Known issues

breakingGS Quant v1.0+ dropped support for Python 3.8 and below. Upgrade to Python 3.9+.

fix

Update Python to >=3.9 and pip install gs-quant>=1.0

affects: <1.0

deprecatedThe GsSession class is deprecated in favor of Session in v1.5+.

fix

Use 'from gs_quant.session import Session' instead of 'from gs_quant.session import GsSession'

affects: >=1.5

gotchaImports must use underscores: 'gs_quant' not 'gs-quant'. The hyphen is only in the PyPI package name.

fix

Always use 'from gs_quant...' in your code.

affects: all

gotchaAPI keys for production must be set via environment variables, not hardcoded. The library checks env vars GS_CLIENT_ID and GS_CLIENT_SECRET.

fix

Set environment variables before importing gs_quant, or use Session.use() with explicit credentials.

affects: all
