How can I get all news and 1000 news

In addition to the response from @nick.zincone and to answer the first question, to retrieve all news headlines without applying any filters you can use the news query "A". To learn how to construct news filter expressions use the News Monitor app in Eikon application, which provides GUI for constructing news filters. In get_news_headlines method you can use the same news codes and filter expressions that you can use in the News Monitor app in Eikon. If you're not familiar with News Monitor app in Eikon, you can find series of video tutorials by going to the main Eikon menu and selecting Help - Tutorials and Training and typing in "news" in the search box of the Training app.

Thanks. However I've tried q = "A" and it didn't work.

I suppose what you're asking is whether you can specify date and time as values for date_from and date_to arguments of get_news_headlines method? The answer is yes. According to Eikon Python API Reference Guide, which you can find under the Documentation tab on Eikon Data API page on this portal, the values of these arguments are expected either as string in the format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S' or as datetime type.

Thanks. So I guess I could loop through every hour and get 100 news at a time. Is there a better way to lop through all news making sure nothing is left out?

If the news search query or filter you employ is narrow enough to guarantee that no more than 100 headlines satisfy the criteria within each hour, then this should work. On a side note, if you're looking to consume news on an industrial scale, you should consider other products. Eikon is designed and positioned as an end user product.

Hi again

I'm getting intermittent timeout errors like this:

"HTTPError: Request timeout occured"

With the following code:

q = 'Language:LEN AND ( Topic:GLOFIN OR Topic:TOPNWS ) NOT (Source:TRAUT OR ECLCTA OR ECLTND OR ECLPCM OR ECLBFI OR TOPIC:ENT OR JOB OR SPO OR BACT OR STXOPS OR INTER OR MTPDF OR VID OR REP OR VEN OR INFO OR ORDIMB OR NPL OR WEA OR ENV OR TXT OR PCARD OR INSI OR RSUM OR PREV OR OBIT OR NMKR OR NEWR OR FILING OR ADVS OR AAA OR MEVN OR RCH OR PRO OR PPLMOV)'

headlines = tr.get_news_headlines(query=q, date_from=start_date, date_to=end_date, count=100)

Can you please let me know what can I do to stop these intermittent timeouts?

Thanks,

Jordi

Thanks Alex. I had to use try/except as it kept time out.

From your answer I'd assume that the API doesn't allow you to set a timeout.

Thanks vm.
