If you're requesting all 6K RICs in a single call, consider splitting the list into slices of say 1K RICs each. I have no problem on my end executing the following, where rics is a list of over 10K unique stock RICs.

for i in range(10):
	ek.get_data(rics[i*1000:(i+1)*1000],['TR.PriceClose.date','TR.PriceClose'],{'SDate':'-5D','EDate':'0'})

Hello @kswamy,

This '400 Bad Request' was also explained in this 400 Bad Request - catch/retries and chunking don't help thread.
