Time Zone in get_data

Hello, when I pull data using the following code, for some reason the information about Time is pulled in GMT but I need it en EST.

df, err = ek.get_data(

instruments = ['Cusip=FINR'],

fields = ['PRIMACT_1', 'NETCHNG_1', 'ACVOL_1', 'VALUE_TS1', 'VALUE_DT1', 'TR.FiIssuerName']

)


I can retrieve all information properly, but VALUE_TS1 values are pulled in GMT unfortunately.

    Hello @Javier Alonso.Madrigal Vargas,

    I am likely missing some of the question, so it may be helpful to clarify with the exact request that you run when you get GMT results back:

    • FINR does not look like a valid CUSIP?
    • The request, if run as is, does not result in valid result for me?
    • Via Data Item Browser tool, available on Eikon desktop, one can verify if field request supports any parameters, such as Time Zone selection. I do not believe Time Zone can be selected, for isntance, for VALUE_TS1 field. But I can not reproduce exactly what you request, so can not tell for certain.
