EikonError-Backend error. 503 Service Unavailable

shreesharma

I am fetching the news headlines data using python but this error has been occurring lately. Been using the same script and could fetch 100 headlines day before yesterday but works no more.

Here is the script:_

pip install eikon

import eikon as ek

ek.set_app_key('###')

import pandas as pd

import numpy as np

import datetime

from datetime import time

import warnings

warnings.filterwarnings("ignore")

dfE = ek.get_news_headlines(' ( ( Topic:CNEUT OR Topic:GRNTCH OR Topic:CAROFF Topic:ENVBIO OR Topic:ESGENV OR Topic:ESGGOV OR Topic:ESGREG OR Topic:ENVJUS OR "Environmental Commitment" OR "ESG Investment Commitment" OR Topic:ESG OR "Environmental Social Governance" OR Topic:ENVREG OR "Restriction of Competition" OR "Competition Agreement" OR Topic:FESGD ) AND Topic:DE AND ( Language:LEN OR Language:LDE ) AND ( "ESG Dispute" OR "dispute" OR "ESG Damage" OR "Greenwashing" OR "damage" ) )',date_from ="2023-12-01" ,date_to = "2023-12-19",count=10)

dfE.head()

Kindly provide me some solution to fix it or any alternative to fetch news headlines data

Hi @shreesharma ,

According to this thread the library will through this error when there are more than 100 headlines per request. I have checked the same request using RD Libraries for Python (which is using different service for this) and it works for me:

import refinitiv.data as rd
rd.open_session()

dfE = rd.news.get_headlines(' ( ( Topic:CNEUT OR Topic:GRNTCH OR Topic:CAROFF Topic:ENVBIO OR Topic:ESGENV OR Topic:ESGGOV OR Topic:ESGREG OR Topic:ENVJUS OR "Environmental Commitment" OR "ESG Investment Commitment" OR Topic:ESG OR "Environmental Social Governance" OR Topic:ENVREG OR "Restriction of Competition" OR "Competition Agreement" OR Topic:FESGD ) AND Topic:DE AND ( Language:LEN OR Language:LDE ) AND ( "ESG Dispute" OR "dispute" OR "ESG Damage" OR "Greenwashing" OR "damage" ) )',start ="2023-12-01" ,end = "2023-12-19",count=100)
dfE

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
