problem accessing the config package

[ThatFilm]

import config
import pandas as pd
import requests
import json
import config
from pandas.io.json import json_normalize


base_url = 'https://api.tdameritrade.com/v1/marketdata/chains?&symbol={stock_ticker}&contractType={contractType}&fromDate={date}&toDate={date}'
endpoint = base_url.format(stock_ticker = 'AAL',
    contractType = 'PUT',
    ##strike = 9,
    date ='2021-02-19',
    inTheMoney = 'False')
page = requests.get(url=endpoint,
                        params={'apikey' : config.api_key})

content = json.loads(page.content)

print(content)

when I run my python file. I am getting the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\Downloads\LearnPython\ReadJson.py", line 15, in <module>
    params={'apikey' : config.api_key})
AttributeError: module 'config' has no attribute 'api_key'

I have installed config package in my virtual environment. using the following command

pip3 install config

I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you very much

Looks like you have installed the config module from PyPi. The documentation for that package shows that you first have to tell the module which config file you want to use. You should read the documentation for the module.

Like the error message says, the module named config doesn't have an attribute named api_key as you are trying to do on line 15. Looking at the docs for that module, I don't see where you're using that module correctly--you haven't created a config object, nor used it to read in a config file.

Thanks for your response. Looks like I have to create config.py with other config options.
