issues with the values returned by the function get_data()

I use the function get_data() in the following way:

index_id = ['US0378331005', 'CH0244767585', 'IT0003796171', 'JP3246400000', 'CH0038863350', 'HK0267001375', 'AU000000ORG5', 'BE0974258874', 'PTEDP0AM0009']
data, err   = ek.get_data(index_id,['TR.isPrimaryInstrument'])

and the return is a serie of string "True".

Now if I use this function with another set of index_id, it will return 1 and 0. Why is that behavior and how to avoid it?

@Tulkkas, can you share the other instruments that deliver 0 / 1 instead of false / vtrue ?

Hi @Tulkkas

Please share the other instruments which you got 0 or 1.

I would like to try to retrieve the information on API and on Excel.


For the provided instrument codes in your question, I got True.

Thanks.

it was a very large universe and I don't know which exact ISIN was trigerring the 1/0 instead of true/false. I can't even copy/past the full list here as there are more than 4000 ISIN.
