Error handling for get_timeseries()

oik22

I am using a get_timeseries() function in a loop over a long list of stocks and get different errors depending on context (I am aware of the reasons for the errors):

- No data available for the requested data range.

- Client Error: Too many requests, please try again later

Is there a way to handle these errors differently? For example, I want skip the iteration that returns "no data available" and completely stop the loop execution if "too many requests" error shows, something like this

for ticker in ticker_list:         
        try:
            prices = ek.get_timeseries(ticker, interval = 'daily)         
        except NoDataAvailableError:
            continue
        except ClientError:
            break

Hi @oik22

Eikon Data API raises EikonError error.

This is the sample code to catch it: (I simulated 2 cases, too many ric and invalid ric)

Under the except ek.EikonError, you can handle it according to your requirement.

To either break or continue your loop.
