Anyone seeing issues with Python API list_orders not returning anything, REST API does return them

Below is my code, I request the orders through the Phython API which does NOT work, and then through the REST API which DOES work. The Python API stopped working yesterday some time…

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

alpaca = tradeapi.REST(ALPACA_API_KEY, ALPACA_API_SECRET, ALPACA_URL, ‘v2’)
config = alpaca.get_account_configurations()
print (config) # this works fine
orders = alpaca.list_orders(status=‘closed’, symbols=‘AMD’, limit=10, after=‘2024-03-19T15:50:00Z’, direction=‘desc’)
print(orders) # returns an empty list

url = "https://paper-api.alpaca.markets/v2/orders? status=closed&limit=10&after=2024-03-21T15%3A50%3A00Z&direction=desc&symbols=AMD"

headers = {
        "accept": "application/json",
        "APCA-API-KEY-ID": "my_key",
        "APCA-API-SECRET-KEY": "my_secret"
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.text)  # THIS WORKS FINE AND SHOWS THE ORDER

@torobot The aalpaca-trade-api SDK is particular about the symbols parameter. Specifically, this needs to be a list (even a list of one symbol). Replace your code with the following and it should work

orders = alpaca.list_orders(status=‘closed’, symbols=[‘AMD’], limit=10, after=‘2024-03-19T15:50:00Z’, direction=‘desc’)

Thanks Dan, that was the issue!
Did something change recently as I don’t think I changed anything on my side and I had it working previously. Either way, it’s working now so thanks very much for the quick response.
