Post From: META symbol with TWS API

Since FB changed to META I've been unable to get any quote data using the TWS API. Any idea on why? I've spent a few hours on the phone multiple times now with Interactive Brokers and today they asked if SC could add the "primaryExchange" attribute as they believe that's why the quote data won't come in.

The SC message being displayed is "Symbol is Ambiguous"

The fields they want mapped are below. Might just be as simple as getting the mapping to SC fields correct but I've tried just about every variation.

security type should be STK
contract_meta = Contract()
contract_meta.symbol = "META"
contract_meta.secType = "STK"
contract_meta.currency = "USD"
contract_meta.exchange = "SMART"
contract_meta.primaryExchange = "NASDAQ"
