Trying to reproduce new issues in the news tutorial
Hello! I am trying to reproduce the tutorial from the Developer Website with no success:
The code itself:
from datetime import date start_date, end_date = date(2010, 1, 1), date.today() q = "Product:IFREM AND Topic:ISU AND Topic:EUB AND (\"PRICED\" OR \"DEAL\")" headlines = tr.get_news_headlines(query=q, date_from=start_date, date_to=end_date, count=100, raw_output=False) headlines.head()
Error message:
2020-03-12 13:14:43,924 P[17328] [MainThread 13732] Backend error. Failed to deserialize backend response. Expected valid JSON. Error: invalid character 'i' looking for beginning of value
Could you please help?

I just tried the following as per the tutorial and it works Ok
start_date, end_date = date(2010, 1, 1), date.today() q = "Product:IFREM AND Topic:ISU AND Topic:EUB AND (PRICED OR DEAL)" headlines = tr.get_news_headlines(query=q, date_from=start_date, date_to=end_date, count=100, raw_output=False) headlines.head()
If I add the \" back in, then I get the same error as you do.
Many thanks, Umer @
I saw the error and corrected it. I downloaded the source code from the link on github, I guess the string formatting is not correct there.
Apologies for the problem and thanks for pointing out the differences on github. I have alerted the example owner.
