Debug

Known issues

breakingOpenBB v4.0 changed the news API from `obb.news` to `obb.news.all()` and `obb.news.company()`. Also removed the old `openbb_news` module's direct access methods.

fix

Update imports to use the new OpenBB platform pattern: `from openbb import obb` then `obb.news.all(...)`.

affects: >=4.0.0

gotchaYou must have valid API keys for the news providers (Benzinga, FMP, etc.). The news commands will fail if the provider's API key is missing or invalid.

fix

Set provider-specific credentials via `obb.user.credentials.PROVIDER_API_KEY = 'key'`.

affects: all

deprecatedThe `openbb-news` extension is being phased out in favor of the built-in news providers in OpenBB Platform v4+. Check compatibility before upgrading.

fix

Consider using `obb.news.all()` directly from the platform without the extension, if your OpenBB version supports it.

affects: >=4.0.0
