How to get histrical data of LME Copper future spreads using Eikon API

I am currently trying to get historical data of spreads between specific contract months of LME copper futures with the following python API code.


df, _ = ek.get_data(['CMCUF21-G21'], fields=['TR.TSVWAP.Date', 'TR.TSVWAP'], parameters={'SDate':SDate,'EDate':EDate})


In this case, when I specify a contract month prior to 2022 as above, an empty dataframe is returned.

Does this mean no available data is stored? Or if there is any way to retrieve the data, we would appreciate it if you could let us know.

    Variable SDate and EDate are the specific dates covering the enough period to get data.
