'list' object has no attribute 'includeExpired'

I am calling qualifyContracts on the list of Options object and it is giving an error:

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'includeExpired'

Below is my code:

I found the reason: valid_option_contract_details.append(details) should be: valid_option_contract_details.append(option_contract)

But then it gave another error which I better ask here:

Hi @kadnan the method 'ib.qualifyContracts' take the contracts as input. and This will fill in the missing fields in the contract, especially the conId. But sometimes the contacts can be Ambiguous. So while creating the option_contract = Option('TSLA',lastTradeDateOrContractMonth=expiration,strike=strike,right='PUT') I would suggest you also specify more details about the contract. (I think giving exchange = 'SMART' will do the trick in this case.)
