    Here is the code:

    import eikon as ek

    ek.set_app_key('Enter your key here')


    news = ek.get_news_headlines('Iron Ore IN INDIA AND Language:LEN',
    date_from='2019-01-01',
    date_to='2019-01-08',
    count=100)

    Just to add - client would like to get data using this criteria for 3 years what is the best way to fetch this data on a one time basis?

    Hi @Harish Toshniwal

    My colleague Zoya's reply regards the 15-month window is the one that applies.
    If I test with different dates, I can get news up to 15months before today - anything earlier returns zero news stories.

    For example, the following returns some stories:

    news = ek.get_news_headlines('Iron Ore IN INDIA AND Language:LEN',
                                 date_from='2021-03-04',
                                 date_to='2021-03-08',
                                 count=100)

    but the following returns nothing:

    news = ek.get_news_headlines('Iron Ore IN INDIA AND Language:LEN',
                                 date_from='2021-03-01',
                                 date_to='2021-03-07',
                                 count=100)
