Obtain information of a set of instruments with Eikon Data API

I'm trying to obtain information of the set 0#CFI2. The elements are CFI2U3, CFI2V3, CFI2X3, etc.

With the function ek.get_timeseries('0#CFI2+', 'BID') I have a invalid RIC error. With the function ek.get_data('0#CFI2+', 'BID') I have a message "the record couldn't be found". For a single instrument (e.g. CFI2U3 it works properly).

I would like to know if there is a generic way to download information of the set. I want to avoid to list all the RICs because they change in rolling times.

Thank you in advance

@justo.conde

Thank you for reaching out to us.

It works with 0#CFI2:.

df, err = ek.get_data("0#CFI2:", fields =['BID','DSPLY_NAME'])
df

The output is:

Then, you can use RICs in the returned dataframe with the get_timeseries method.

ek.get_timeseries(df["Instrument"].tolist(),fields=['CLOSE'])

You can use the Eikon Quote APP to show RICs in 0#CFI2+. I don't have permission to access this RIC.
