Raising query obo client

REMOVED

Query : I am trying to use Python to download News stories for a given stock over the past 2 days. In the News montior I can see a few news stories for IDXX.OQ over the past 2 days but when I try either CODEBK or using Spyder it returns empty dataframes for this stock. I can upload screenshots of what is happening.

Thank you for your assistance!

    Hi, just an update from our side, we were able to partially fix this issue by removing the end date, since it was cutting off the news search for the latest day. The only issue now is that when setting the start date t-1 days from today, it is still not returning all of the news stories for 2025-08-04. Here you can see:

    Test_Headline_6 = setting start date to 2025-08-03, and returns 10 stories

    Test_Headline_7 = setting count=50 and you can see there are more than 10 stories for 2025-08-04

    Could this be due to a timezone settings issue in our Workspace accounts?

    Thanks,

    Jacob

  • Hi @Jacob_Wong_Genus1 and @MRCHDLM ,

    The default value of count parameter is 10, have you tried adjusting the count param along with the start date. Below is the result compared to News Monitor application.

    ld.news.get_headlines('R:IDXX.O AND Language:LEN AND Source:RTRS', start='2025-08-03', count=10000)

    FYI, the timezone in News monitor app is your local timezone and the one used in Python code of the data library is UTC timezone.
