Hi Michael, Here's the code again, class should be called PERSONDatabase, misspelled earlier: class PERSONDatabase: def __init__(self, id, created_at, name, attend_date, distance): self._id = id self.created_at = created_at self.name= name self.attend_date = attend_date self.distance = distance
@classmethod def get_person(self, employee): return PERSONDatabase(employee['created_at'], employee['id'], employee['name'], employee['attend_date'], employee['distance']) The PERSONDatabase class is called from main. This is the trace back I got from the VS code: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/Mike/Documents/Mike/main.py", line 95, in <module> main() File "/Users/Mike/Documents/Mike/main.py", line 86, in main args = get_feed() File "/Users/Mike/DocumentsMike/main.py", line 32, in get_feed result = [PERSONatabase.get_person(raw_person) for raw_neo in raw_objects] File "/Users/Mike/Documents/Mike/main.py", line 32, in <listcomp> result = [NEODatabase.get_person(raw_person) for raw_neo in raw_objects] File "/Users/Mike/Documents/Mike/database.py", line 24, in get_person return PERSONDatabase(person['created_at'], KeyError: 'created_at' Thank you very much!
