Programmatically reading rd.get_data errors

cpowr

Hi Community,

I have a Refinitiv Workspace account and am using the Refinitiv Data Platform API in Python on Windows to resolve a list of CUSIPs and tickers to their RICs as follows:

import refinitiv.data as rd
rd.open_session()
my_tickers = ['AAPL', 'ENPH', 'PROPTC (']
df = rd.get_data(my_tickers,['TR.RIC']) 
rd.close_session()

When I run the above, I get a blank dataframe. When I refer to the log files as to why a blank dataframe was returned, I see the following HTTP Response:

[2023-03-28T10:30:47.393815-04:00] - [sessions.platform.rdp.1] - [DEBUG] - [37232 - MainThread] - [http_service] - [request] - HTTP Response id 5

status_code = 200

text = {"error":{"code":604,"description":"The '(' delimiter is unexpected in identifiers."}}

The error makes sense because the ticker "PROPTC (" had an invalid character. How may I access this "error" programmatically rather than reading the log files manually? The older Eikon API's get_data() returns two dataframes with the second one being a list of errors. Does RDP's get_data() have a similar feature?

Thanks

Hi @cpowr,

You can ask for debugging messages live in your ipynb document via the 'refinitiv-data.config.json' configuration file, setting `console` to true:

I point to it when opening rd sessions as such:

rd.open_session(config_name="C:\\Example.DataLibrary.Python-main\\Example.DataLibrary.Python-main\\Configuration\\refinitiv-data.config.json")
rd.open_session("desktop.workspace")
