Something went wrong while fetching price data from CoinGecko

[Zaphod101010]

Just tried running this script to pull the info for my validator for Janurary-April and got the following error.

Getting price data and writing rewards to file:   0%|                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                | 0/3 [00:31<?, ?it/s]

Hi, from what I can tell from this error it looks like CoinGecko didn't return valid JSON for some reason (or the response was in some way unexpected).
It's possible this only occurred for a little while because CoinGecko was doing maintenance or something like that. Was it a one time thing or are you still getting this same error? I am unable to reproduce it right now.

If you're still getting the error, could you include the following info to help me reproduce it?

• START_DATE, END_DATE you're using
• the CURRENCY you are using
• it looks like you're running an older version of the script, can you include the commit hash that you're using / alternatively could you try with the latest version and post the error message?

Hi @Zaphod101010 , I'm going to close this issue now but if you're still experiencing the same issue with the latest version of the script, feel free to get back to me here again.
