hello, I am trying to use the Finnhub_Date_Range to download news on Sandp 500 (^GSPC). The news_downloader.download_date_range_stock(start_date, end_date, stock) works well. But when i try news_downloader.gather_content() , it returns the error above. The same script worked before. can somebody help me with this bug please?
