Eikon API Hangs and doesn't give error message, then other times it works fine. It really seems ...

...to be random.

If I run

import eikon as ek

then run

ek.set_app_key('xxxxxxx') t

then run

data = ek.get_timeseries(['.SPXTR'], fields='CLOSE', start_date='2020-02-12', end_date='2021-02-08', interval='daily')

It works, most of the time. However, if I run it all in one scrip it will hang without giving an error and I have to restart spyder. This can't be by design so what can I do to fix this? Thanks.

    After discussing it further with the development team, I am going to use the DSWS API instead. I have not had any issues with it and it seems to be a little more polished than the Eikon one. Thanks, and this thread can be closed.
