Just in case I am not the only one encountered this. When using single ticker (snapshot ) from polygon, the retrieved result is a super object, not the ticker object itself. So, it’s not convenient to access the attributes of the retrieved results. I had to change the installed snapshot method (python) to make it work. When looking at the all ticker and snapshot, it’s clear that the snapshot is missing “[‘ticker’]”. Hope this can get fixed soon,

You’re right, I got the same, with the snapshot (for example) I had to use: t.ticker[‘todaysChangePerc’] instead of t.todaysChangePerc
