result format different with an additional parameter [0] at the end of ek.get_data()

I found that the result format is a little bit different with 2 of following expression

1. sse50=ek.get_data('0#.SSE50',['DSPLY_NMLL','TR.RIC','TR.PriceClose','TR.Volume','TR.TotalReturnYTD'])[0]

2. sse50=ek.get_data('0#.SSE50',['DSPLY_NMLL','TR.RIC','TR.PriceClose','TR.Volume','TR.TotalReturnYTD'])


the only difference is '[0]' at the end of the expression. What's the function of the additional parameter?

Hi @Yufeng.Ling1

Case1:

result1, result2 = ek.get_data(xxxxx)


Case2:

result = ek.get_data(xxxxx)


And reult[0] is the same as result1

reult[1] is the same as result2

result1 is the data

result2 is the error
