Debug

Known issues

breakingOpenBB Core v1+ removed the old monolithic openbb package structure. Imports must use openbb_core instead of openbb.

fix

Update imports: from openbb_core.api.rest.controller import OBB.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe OBB controller requires an active internet connection and valid API keys for data providers; missing keys cause silent empty results.

fix

Set environment variables like OPENBB_PAT (for personal access token) or provider-specific keys (e.g., OPENBB_POLYGON_API_KEY).

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedThe legacy 'openbb' module is deprecated; install 'openbb-core' instead. Using 'pip install openbb' may install an older version.

fix

pip install openbb-core

affects: >=1.0.0
