Hi! I am trying to download daily price of stock index from a list of RICs by the following code. But it does not work. Can you please help me on this?

df, e = ek.get_data(["MERV","SP500","ATX"], 
                    ['TR.PriceClose(Curn=USD)','TR.PriceClose.calcdate'],
                     {'SDate': '2012-01-01',
                     'EDate': '2023-02-10','Frq':'D'})
df

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Typically, the index RICs are prefixed with the "." character.

The code looks like this:

df, e = ek.get_data([".MERV",".SP500",".ATX"], 
                    ['TR.PriceClose(Curn=USD)','TR.PriceClose.calcdate'],
                     {'SDate': '2012-01-01',
                     'EDate': '2023-02-10','Frq':'D'})
df
