Filing API returns error message "User did not have entitlements to the field".

Sophie_D

Hello, when I tried to get filing data with Python Filing API, I only get NAs and above error message.

I was able to download full correct data using ADVFIL function on LSEG WORKSPACE desktop app. However, I need to acquire filing data for over 3,000 firms. I cannot download all of it manually.

Here is my code:

　response=filings.search.Definition(
　　query=FilingsQuery().orgid(SymbolLookup(ric="7203.T").convert())
　　.start_date("2024-01-01T00:00:00Z")
　　.end_date("2024-06-30T23:59:59Z")
　　.graphQL
　).get_data()

Here is what "response.data.raw" returned:

 'extensions': {'warnings': [{'field': 'FinancialFiling',    'message': 'Results may have been truncated. Specify a limit and cursor to fetch more.',    'type': 'RESULT_TRUNCATED',    'warningCode': 'DW005'},   {'field': 'FinancialFiling.FilingDocument',    'message': 'User did not have entitlements to the field.',    'type': 'NO_ENTITLEMENTS_FOR_FIELD',    'warningCode': 'DW003'}]}}

"SymbolLookup" and "FilingsQuery" is from:

Any solutions or alternatives of ADVFIL?

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I can retrieve the data properly when using the platform session.

However, it returns NA when using the desktop session.

I didn't see the following error in the raw data.

  'message': 'User did not have entitlements to the field.'

According to the error, it looks like to be a permission issue. You may need to contact your LSEG account team or Sales team to verify your permission. Otherwise, you can try the platform session instead.
