Could you please let me know if the current limit of datapoints returned per request for get_data function of Eikon Data API for customers(=external Eikon users) is still around 10,000 data points?

I'm asking about this as I can get much more data points than 10,000 guessing my access right is for internal so I can get more data points per request.

Your prompt clarification would be much appreciated!

Datapoints returned per request - A datapoint is a 'cell', or a unique field value for a unique instrument on a unique time stamp. Datapoint limits vary by the content set being retrieved (for example, timeseries limits are different from news headline limits), but all are throttled on a per request basis and are not aggregated across all applications. Here are Datapoint limit examples per Eikon Data API function type

  • get_data: The current limit value (10-Oct-2019) is around 10,000 data points.

    According to my testing, there is no limitation for the get_data function. Other limitations remain the same.

    However, if the client uses the get_data function to retrieve a lot of data points, the client can get the TimeoutException, as mentioned in this thread.
