I am trying to run the Plaid API Quickstart. I have tried following these steps ( [LINK] ) in Python, and these steps ( [this video] ) in Node. The video steps in Node are working much better for me, although I know nothing about Node. When the server is launched (please excuse me if I'm using incorrect jargon, I've spent the last 6 months learning Python and mostly have no idea what I'm talking about), I get this: .

I am following the QuickStart tutorial for Plaid [this video] using non-docker. I continue to get this error output: display_message: null, documentation_url: ' [LINK] ', error_code: 'INVALID_PRODUCT', error_message: 'provided products are not valid', error_type: 'INVALID_INPUT', request_id: 'wvNOtcz1mM1H3TF' This specific error_message is not on the Plaid troubleshooting page at all.
