Hi i am trying to download the OHLCV data of the following expired RICS

Right now it is all just NA, can you help me please.

I am using the ek.get_data function. Is there a problem with the RICs

Hi @ken03 ,

Could it be because the data requested is when the RIC is already expired? Can you tried specified the start and end date range with the get_timeseries function as below

ek.get_timeseries(['TWTR.N^J22','NLSN.N^J22'],
                  start_date='2020-01-01', 
                  end_date='2022-01-01')

Hope this helps and please let me know in case you have any further questions.

Hi Raksina,

Does that mean that once the ric is expired the data cannot be requested for that time period and it would cause a backend 400 error?

Hi @ken03 ,

After the expiry, you would still be able to get the data by using the expiry RICs and providing the daterange parameters as suggested by my colleague above. If you have a specific example which causes an issue, feel free to post it here and we will look into it.

Best regards,
