EikonError: Error code 413 | Client Error: Payload Too Large get symbology
Hi I am converting around 13000 cusip, isin, and sedol to ric using eikon API and I am feeding into get_symbology a list of identifiers. I got the error 413: client error: payload too large even I try to shrink the list to as small as 5 entries. Does any one know what is the restriction eikon has on the size of list input? Thanks!
I split my list into 100 blocks. Even 1000 does not work for me.
@yiliu.lu symbology api can be safely used on large datasets (think index constituents code conversion for a large index), so it is difficult to say what causes this behavior without looking at your code.
I may only assume that something went wrong after you attempted to execute the initial 13000 symbols as one request, however, it is something that I failed to replicate.
If this problem persists, please let us know.
Thanks! @Zhenya Kovalyov I am merging factset(that uses cusip) with eikon to fill in some missing entries. running the following line of code:
cric=ek.get_symbology(cusip,from_symbol_type='CUSIP',to_symbol_type='RIC')['RIC']
Where cusip is a list of 13000 cusips that I need to convert to ric.

I think it might be a restriction on the server side. Any thoughts? Thanks a lot!
