in Eikon Data APIs

Hi, I have 2 questions:

1. Is it available to extract 2 years 5-minite interval equity data with Eikon API?

2. Can user access Eikon API through local docker container? If so, can you give some guidance

    1. The get_timeseries method in the Eikon Data API doesn't support 2 years or 5-minute intervals. It supports the following intervals.

        interval: string
            Data interval.
            Possible values: 'tick', 'minute', 'hour', 'daily', 'weekly', 'monthly', 'quarterly', 'yearly' (Default 'daily')
            Default: 'daily'

    2. There is an eikon-docker python package available via pip install. However, this package is not supported by Refintiv. To use it, you need to create a .portInUse file in the user configuration directory. The file contains the TCP port (9060).

    sh-4.2# mkdir -p '/root/.config/Eikon API proxy'
    sh-4.2# echo 9060 > /root/.config/Eikon\ API\ proxy/.portInUse

    We don't support this eikon-docker package. If you find any issues with this package, please raise the issues through GitHub.
