rd.get_history returns duplicated datapoints

yaokoffi.kouassi

Hi all,

Can someone help me with those requests which returns duplicated datapoints ?

Request 1

import refinitiv.data as rd
rd.open_session()
res = rd.get_history(universe=["ESH2^2"], fields=["TR.CLOSEPRICE"], parameters={ "SDate": "2020-12-18", "EDate": "2023-03-18"}, use_field_names_in_headers=True)

Response

The last datapoint is duplicated several times

Request 2

import refinitiv.data as rd
rd.open_session()
test = rd.get_history(universe="SRAK3",
               fields=["TR.CLOSEPRICE","TR.SETTLEMENTPRICE","TR.OPENINTEREST","TR.HIGHPRICE","TR.LOWPRICE","TR.ACCUMULATEDVOLUME"],
               parameters={"SDate": "2023-02-03", "EDate": "2023-08-25"},
               use_field_names_in_headers=True)

Response

Inspecting by hand it shows that one line has the full information, where the ‘duplicated’ one have some missing field (and is not necessary the last line with that date, eg the 6^th of march)

The resolution is:

Actually, this is the behavior of the service. It is expected to use the previous date to fill the date which doesn't have data. To solve this problem please use the Fill=None parameter, as shown below.

=@RDP.Data("ESH2^2","TR.CLOSEPRICE.date;TR.CLOSEPRICE","SDate=2020-12-18 EDate=2023-03-18 Fill=None CH=Fd RH=IN",B2)

=@RDP.Data("SRAK3","TR.CLOSEPRICE.date;TR.CLOSEPRICE;TR.SETTLEMENTPRICE;TR.OPENINTEREST;TR.HIGHPRICE;TR.LOWPRICE;TR.ACCUMULATEDVOLUME","SDa"&"te=2023-02-03 EDate=2023-08-25 Fill=None CH=Fd RH=IN",W2)

According to the (very scarce) documentation Fill=None is not an option in the python api.

Besides Error 400 and 500 happening randomly and the oddest behavior in general, has anybody cracked rd.get_history so the it actually works?

I am tearing my hair out ...

Hi @the.swiss

Hope you are doing well.

Fill=None is well an option for get_history.

For instance, the code below with Fill=None option is the following one:

rd.open_session()
test = rd.get_history(universe="SRAK3",
               fields=["TR.CLOSEPRICE","TR.SETTLEMENTPRICE","TR.OPENINTEREST","TR.HIGHPRICE","TR.LOWPRICE","TR.ACCUMULATEDVOLUME"],
               parameters={"SDate": "2023-02-03", "EDate": "2023-08-25", "Fill": "None"},
               use_field_names_in_headers=True)

cool thanks, will try tomorrow

Can you then point me to a better documentation for RD than what I found so far?
