pip install fds-sdk-utils

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fds_sdk_utils' ↓

cause Package installed but the import path changed in v2.0.

fix

import from fds.utils instead.

error AttributeError: module 'fds' has no attribute 'utils' ↓

cause Missing subpackage import, usually because the package was installed but the subpackage wasn't imported.

fix

Run pip install --upgrade fds-sdk-utils and ensure you use from fds.utils import ....

Warnings

breaking In v2.0, the import path changed from `fds_sdk_utils` to `fds.utils`. Old imports will break. ↓

fix Change imports to `from fds.utils import ...`.

deprecated The `FactSetAuth` class has been deprecated in favor of `FDSAuth` in newer versions (v2.1+). ↓

fix Use `from fds.utils.auth import FDSAuth` instead.

gotcha Caching is disabled by default; you must explicitly configure a cache backend. Without it, repeated requests are not cached. ↓

fix Pass a cache instance to the utility function, e.g., `from fds.utils.cache import MemoryCache`.
