Hi Tina,

get_timeseries function doesn't provide TR.xxx fields but a limited list (TR.xxx fields are available with get_data() function that provides all fundamental and historic data)

You can check this list by requesting without fields parameters. In your case, available fields are HIGH, LOW, OPEN, CLOSE, COUNT and VOLUME (that differs according to the selected interval):

>>> ek.get_timeseries(['CSPX.L'], interval='daily', start_date='2017-06-01', end_date='2017-06-15')
CSPX.L        HIGH       LOW    OPEN   CLOSE  COUNT     VOLUME

If you still want to request TR.BIDPRICE, you can retrieve with get_data function:

>>> result, error = ek.get_data('CSPX.L', ['TR.BIDPRICE(Points=15).date','TR.BIDPRICE(Points=15)'])
>>> result
   Instrument                  Date  Bid Price
0      CSPX.L  2017-06-15T00:00:00Z     231.78
1      CSPX.L  2017-06-14T00:00:00Z     232.48
2      CSPX.L  2017-06-13T00:00:00Z     232.21
3      CSPX.L  2017-06-12T00:00:00Z     231.38

8      CSPX.L  2017-06-05T00:00:00Z     232.25
9      CSPX.L  2017-06-02T00:00:00Z     232.06
10     CSPX.L  2017-06-01T00:00:00Z     230.46
11     CSPX.L  2017-05-31T00:00:00Z     229.34
12     CSPX.L  2017-05-30T00:00:00Z     229.95
13     CSPX.L  2017-05-26T00:00:00Z     230.16
14     CSPX.L  2017-05-25T00:00:00Z     230.16

NB: I didn't find a way to set a range of dates but only the number of values

Hope it'll help you !
