I am unable to fetch closing price for CRFRMc1 (Steaming Coal) - It is throwing an error that data is not available for the requested date range

start date - 2020-01-01

end date - 2021-07-26


Have the RIC codes within Steaming coal changed recently?

    API8 CFR South China Coal Futures have been delisted from ICE Futures Europe effective 26 July 2021. For more details see https://www.theice.com/publicdocs/circulars/21108.pdf or Refinitiv alert 243116 (on Eikon see page ALERT8 in a Quote app).

    I expect that Refinitiv will soon be removing RIC CRFRMc1 and other RICs related to the delisted futures from the real-time network.

    Hi @subarini ,


    Looking through the Data Item Browser, I found that the item named 'TR.SETTLEMENTPRICE' would return values. Does the Python code below return satisfactory data?


    df5, err = ek.get_data(instruments='CRFRMc1',
                           fields=["TR.SETTLEMENTPRICE.date",
                                   "TR.SETTLEMENTPRICE"],
                           parameters = {'SDate': '2020-01-01',
                                         'EDate': '2021-07-26'})
    df5.dropna()

    @jonathan.legrand We are using the below mentioned method to extract the CLOSING prices for CRFRMc1 RIC Code & facing the above mentioned issue. We are able to extract closing prices of many other commodities with the same method, however, Steaming Coal is throwing this error.

    P.S - This code has been functional for over 2 years and only started malfunctioning today.

    ek.get_timeseries(list(ric_code_fixed.apply(str)),fields = ['CLOSE'], interval='daily', start_date=curr_start_date, end_date=curr_end_date, calendar="tradingdays")

    Hi @subarini ,


    Would you mind letting me know what the result of this get_timeseries use to be in the past? I have the impression that the field name was changed to 'TR.SETTLEMENTPRICE' or it was always the same as CLOSE and we decided to remove the latter to avoid confusion...
