Error 500 - Internal Server Error when calling getAccount() using alpaca-py

Alpaca Integration Applications

I keep running into this issue during the open of the market several times each week. I make a call to:

account = trading_client.get_account()

Any thoughts as to why the account information cannot be retrieved? Is there a fix?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home2/.virtualenv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/alpaca/common/rest.py”, line 187, in _one_request
response.raise_for_status()
File “/home2/.virtualenv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/requests/models.py”, line 1021, in raise_for_status

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error for url: https://paper-api.alpaca.markets/v2/account

Thanks,
