Problem with get_news_story function

82LL35910622

Hello,

I am trying to retrieve news data with Eikon API using Python. The function get_news_headlines works fine but if I try to get news texts using get_news_story I get the following:

In most of cases: "http://filings.retrieval.service.ib.thomsonone.com/Filings.Viewer/Down..." without text!

Other cases: "storyContent * {border-color:inherit !important;outline-colo..." with the news text correctly.

I tried to put in some sleeptime (time.sleep()). Without success.

Could you help me?

Hi @82LL35910622

I just tested this code:

get headline

headlines=ek.get_news_headlines('R:YPFD.BA IN SPANISH', date_from='2019-03-06T09:00:00', date_to='2019-04-06T18:00:00') headlines

And then get a story

df = newsText = ek.get_news_story('urn:newsml:reuters.com:20190404:nGLF70jBtR:2')

Here is the result:

<div class="storyContent" lang="es"><p><a href="reuters://screen/verb=Open/url=cpurl%3A%2F%2Fviews.cp.%2Ffilings%2FFilings.Viewer%2FDownload.aspx%3FContentFormat%3Dpdf%26DocumentId%3D50168946" data-type="cpurl" data-cpurl="cpurl://views.cp./filings/Filings.Viewer/Download.aspx?ContentFormat=pdf&DocumentId=50168946" translate="no">http://filings.retrieval.service.ib.thomsonone.com/Filings.Viewer/Down...</a></p></div&gt;

This is an attachment that you have to open on Eikon Desktop.

data-type="cpurl" data-cpurl="cpurl://views.cp./filings/Filings.Viewer/Download.aspx?ContentFormat=pdf&DocumentId=50168946"

So this news story id does not have any story text but it provides you a CPURL to be open on Eikon Desktop.

(Sorry I misunderstood your previous question)

I have just found the same answer because I was working on the ypf output! I thought in writing to you an anwers with this information. Excellent! thank you. So, do you know how to download this type of files using python without using the eikon platform?

Sorry but cpurl is only supported in Eikon Desktop.
