Eikon API - Expiry date of expired rics

dcoco

in order to retrieve the expiry/last trading date for a given future i have been using

df, err = ek.get_data( 'LCOK2^2', ['EXPIR_DATE', 'TR.FOFirstNoticeDay', 'TR.FOLastTradingDate'])

however for older RICs (older than 2010 , e.g. Jun 2005) it does not work. E.g. :

df, err = ek.get_data('LCOM5^0', ['EXPIR_DATE', 'TR.FOFirstNoticeDay', 'TR.FOLastTradingDate'] )

how can i get the expiry for these rics?

You can try the Search API in the LSEG Data Library for Python. For example:

result = ld.discovery.search(
    view = ld.discovery.Views.SEARCH_ALL,
    filter = "RIC eq 'LCOM5^0'",
    select = "ExpiryDate",
    top=100,
    )
result

The examples are also available on GitHub.

You can also refer to the Building Search into your Application Workflow article.
