Hi @priyanka
I just tested the API to retrieve fields in your question.
And I could get the data successfully.
I believe that the error is in your integration with MathLab.
By the way, please note that
TR.ClosePrice is from "Time Series Data" database
TR.InvestorFullName and TR.SharesHeld are from "Ownership" database
TR.Numshares is from "Period End Ratios" databaseSo you should be aware that when mixing fields from different databases, the date may not be aligned.
I suggest that you separate the API call for each database.
RIC = 'TWTR.K'
fields1 = ['TR.ClosePrice.date','TR.ClosePrice']
parameters = {'SDate':'20190406','EDate':'20190806','Frq':'W'}
df1,e1 = ek.get_data(RIC,fields1,parameters)
df1.head()fields2 = ['TR.InvestorFullName.date','TR.InvestorFullName',
'TR.SharesHeld.date','TR.SharesHeld']
df2,e2 = ek.get_data(RIC,fields2,parameters)
df2.head()fields3 = ['TR.Numshares.calcdate','TR.Numshares']
df3,e3 = ek.get_data(RIC,fields3,parameters)
df3.head()0
