Eikon Script API(EAP) want to get specific terms of news

Hi

I am trying to get specific terms of news about JPY= -i.g. from 2018-01-10 to 2018-01-16- using date_from and date_to parameters. But whenever I try to get it, only latest news are available.

How can I get news for specific terms? And is it available to get historical data through python?

cf,headlines = ek.get_news_headlines("R:JPY= IN JAPANESE", count=5, date_from='2018-01-10', date_to='2018-01-16')

From my test, the returned results are ordered by date (versionCreated). The latest date will appear first.

headlines = ek.get_news_headlines("R:JPY= IN JAPANESE", count=100, date_from='2018-01-10T14:00:00', date_to='2018-01-10T15:00:00')
headlines

For the search criteria, it can contain RIC codes, company names, country names and operators (AND, OR, NOT, IN, parentheses and quotes for explicit search…).

Thank you for your reply.

Maybe I should have typed TIME as well.

This problem has been resolved.
