| Sep 9, 2021 at 18:43 | comment | added | Lperino | You were right. I looked closely at anything that could have been a typo before nuking everything. Sure enough... the API key left off the last digit. I've been pulling my hair out for the past 3 days trying to figure that out. Thanks so much for your help! | |

Just to be sure, you could download helpers.py from the spec again, since the time stamp on your file is earlier (01:45) than the time stamp on the download file (01:58). Also make sure the API_KEY is what you expect. Look in the flask log (in flask run terminal) to verify the API_KEY (token). The line will begin DEBUG: https://cloud.iexapis.com:443, Also have a look at the return value from that call (after the GET string). Here is a list of iex api error codes, FYI.

I still get my apology that it could not retrieve quote. Maybe I need to nuke it and start all over. | |
