Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the API key credential for SerpApi is correctly configured and valid.
  • Check that the search query (q) parameter is correctly formatted for financial data (e.g., stock symbols).

  • Be cautious when using async and no_cache parameters together as they are incompatible.
