Cannot download data despite the IB symbol is correct.

[cheukhin1024]

I want to download HSI data. (HSI is Hang Seng Index)

I followed the guide https://www.wrighters.io/how-to-get-historical-market-data-from-interactive-brokers-using-python/ to download the HSI Hang Seng index data using the following bash command script:

./download_bars.py --size "1 day" --security-type IND --max-days --exchange HKFE HSI

Yet, there is an error: No security definition has been found for the request . I want to know whether this ib-scripts project support downloading non-US data because all examples are US-related. Thank you!

The following is the full terminal result:
