Getting a lot of error 400 today:

Also tried 1.5h ago with the same errors.

Is there something wrong with backend server now?

Problem solved magically by restarting Eikon twice.

Hi @igorg

I just tried to test the API calls for 100 times and it works fine.

import time

for x in range(100):
    try:
        df,e = ek.get_data('0#IND:','RECORDTYPE')
        print(x,':',df.head(1))
        time.sleep(1)        
    except EikonError:
        print(EikonError)
        continue

Output:

0 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114
1 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114
2 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114
3 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114
.

96 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114
97 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114
98 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114
99 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114

I'm attaching 2 log files generated by Eikon Python API from today. Please check how many errors they have.

Hi @igorg

The moderator in this forum can provide guidance on the sample code e.g. how to use the API, what is the sample code on the API, etc...
