Problem with Eikon API

in Eikon Data APIs

Hello,

We are experiencing the issue on Eikon API since last week. API responds once out of 3 times, the user has to wait long enough between two API requests, before that was not the case.

Could you tell us if there is a problem on API and help us?
Thank you.

    Is this using the code snippet that I provided? If so, there seems to be a network issue. Can you try switching to a different network like Work or Home and try again. If that does not help, then please open a support ticket with my.refinitiv.com.

    @Magouloub please could you paste the code for the API call that is causing issues - so we can try to replicate. In some peak periods there might be loading which causes a timeout but through try-catch type defensive coding you can trap that error and just re-present the failing call.

    We have a loop “while” that generates two Jsons and sends them to Reuters-API. Reuters answers the first request (JsonInstrument1) and not the second request (JsonInstrument2) for which we have the error: “Timeout waiting for connection from pool”


    The files are generated in the same Loop “while”


    Thanks

    Hi @Magouloub Can you please provide code snippet which causes the issue, as requested by Jason. Here is a simple while loop that I tried which keeps getting data for your fields. Note that I am throttling the requests so as not to exceed hit the limits.

    fields = ['TR.MIDPRICE (CALCMETHOD=CLOSE,SDate=0,EDate=-2,Frq=D).date', 
        'TR.MIDPRICE (CALCMETHOD=CLOSE,SDate=0,EDate=-2,Frq=D)', 
        'TR.ACCRUEDINTEREST (SDate=0,EDate=-2,Frq=D)', 'TR.ZSPREAD (SDate=0,EDate=-2,Frq=D)', 
        'TR.BIDYIELD (SDate=0,EDate=-2,Frq=D)', 
        'TR.MODIFIEDDURATION (SDate=0,EDate=-2,Frq=D)']

    while True:
        df, err = ek.get_data("GB086352303=", fields)
        print(df)
        time.sleep(0.5)
        df, err = ek.get_data("US113835966=", fields)
        print(df)
        time.sleep(0.5)

    Result:
