Debug

Known issues

gotchaFaker must be installed before or alongside faker-marketdata. The provider will not work without the Faker package.

fix

Ensure Faker is installed: `pip install Faker faker-marketdata`

affects: >=0.1

gotchaThe provider methods (bbg_ticker, isin, etc.) are only available after adding the provider to a Faker instance. They are not top-level functions.

fix

Call `fake.add_provider(MarketDataProvider)` before generating data.

affects: >=0.1

deprecatedThis library has not been updated since 2022 and may not be actively maintained. Check for compatibility with newer Faker versions.

fix

Consider testing with your version of Faker or pinning Faker to a known compatible version.

affects: 0.4
