I will investigate this. For now, you can pass use_document_model=False to MPRester to fix the issue. Note the data will. be returned as dictionaries instead of MPDataDoc objects.

Thanks for your reply. I reinstalled my conda env and downgraded python version to 3.8. It works now, although I'm unsure which step resolved the issue.
