When I try to receive the data from BTC/USD, I receive the following error
{“message”:“Invalid location: CryptoFeed.US ”}https://data.alpaca.markets/v1beta3/crypto/CryptoFeed.US/bars?start=2023-04-15T00%3A00%3A00Z&end=2023-04-17T00%3A00%3A00Z&timeframe=1Hour&symbols=BTC%2FUSD
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:CryptoFeed.US ”}
I got the same error…
I believe it is a bug from Alpaca system on the crypto’s? As last week I was getting another error again on the crypto’s on “get_all_assets” (for stock this was working), and I had to upgrade the module to version 0.8.2 to see it fixed. So I suspect something wrong on the crypto’s app has yet to be fixed…Getting Started | Alpaca Docs ), to see if I was doing anything wrong, but I can see the same error again…
Even I got the same error…was anyone able to get it working ?

Having the same problem here.
I found the issue. In the requests URL it seems the parameter for the feed is “CryptoFeed.US ” where in the API docs it is just ‘us’. To fix this in the python SDK I set the feed parameter to ‘feed = “us”’ which fixed the request and validated it. In the URL above you just need to change the ‘CryptoFeed.US ’ part to ‘us’. Let me know if it works for you!

### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing iss… ues
### Current Behavior
From following the example from https://alpaca.markets/docs/market-data/getting-started/
```from alpaca.data.historical import CryptoHistoricalDataClient
from alpaca.data.requests import CryptoBarsRequest
from alpaca.data.timeframe import TimeFrame
# no keys required for crypto data
client = CryptoHistoricalDataClient()
request_params = CryptoBarsRequest(
symbol_or_symbols=["BTC/USD", "ETH/USD"],
timeframe=TimeFrame.Day,
start=datetime.datetime(2022,07,01)
)
bars = client.get_crypto_bars(request_params)
```
```

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I believe:
**https://data.alpaca.markets/v1beta3/crypto/CryptoFeed.US/bars?start=2023-01-01T00%3A00%3A00Z&timeframe=1Day&symbols=BTC%2FUSD%2CETH%2FUSD**
is not resolving correctly.
Perhaps, `alpaca.data.enums.CryptoFeed.US` enum does not seem to resolve to 'us'
If I do the following it seems to work fine.
```
bars = client.get_crypto_bars(request_params , feed = "us")
print(bars)
```
