Hi @fredy.sarmiento You can call the Eikon get_data call repeatedly, whenever you need the current real time price for an instrument. For 1 minute, this call can be placed in a one minute loop.

>>> while True:
...     df,err = ek.get_data('EUR=', ['BID','ASK'])
...     print(df)
...     time.sleep(60)
...
  Instrument    BID     ASK
0       EUR=  1.108  1.1084
  Instrument    BID     ASK
0       EUR=  1.108  1.1082

The new version of Python Data API (currently EAP) also allows subscribing to streaming data.

Hi @Gurpreeet

It worked once but now I am getting an error message:
"NameError: name 'time' is not defined"

Also, I was trying to get the Close Price but I got NaN.

My eikon version is

1.1.2b0

Thanks for your help

Gurpreet

You will have to import the time module in python:

import time

You can search/use the "Data Item Browser" within Eikon to see the list of fields available to you.

Hi @Gurpreet, Thanks for your help before and Ii was wondering if you know how to do the following request:

Request the last 300 data points from now, in 1-minute interval for EUR and get real-time updates every minute. Basically, creating a constant flow of 300 data points that updates in real-time.

My objective is to replicate and calculate some technical analysis indicators, or even better I am not sure if I can directly request technical Analysis indicators?

Many thanks

Fredy
