Eikon API: issue with get_news_story output

I am working in a Python code using the Eikon Data API to get the stories corresponding to a set of companies from Argentina.

The query is:

headlines=ek.get_news_headlines('R:YPFD.BA IN SPANISH', date_from='2019-03-06T09:00:00', date_to='2019-04-06T18:00:00')

Then, I get the story for each headline

for idx, storyId in enumerate(headlines['storyId'].values): #for each row in our df dataframe newsText = ek.get_news_story(storyId) #get the news story


The text of each story is:

"http://filings.retrieval.service.ib.thomsonone.com/Filings.Viewer/Down... "

For a few stories, I get the text but on a major of cases, I get the previous link. I don't know if it is an Error o doesn't it because I get an empty data frame when doesn't exist stories for a company. So, what does it mean?

Thanks!

Hi @82LL35910622

I can think of this potential issue.

If you loop and sending multiple requests at once, you may get hit by limit per second.

Please read this limitation guideline.

You can add wait time in between each news story API call.

HI, @chavalit.jintamalit. Thank you for your anwers.
Do you know how to add a wait time between each query? I used time.sleep() but the output doesn't change.
Thanks!

Hi @82LL35910622

Here is the sample:

import time
for idx, storyId in enumerate(headlines['storyId'].values): #for each row in our df dataframe
    newsText = ek.get_news_story(storyId) #get the news story
    time.sleep(5) # sleep for 5 seconds

But apart from limit call per second, please also review other limitation such as the amount of data per day in "Eikon Data API Usage and Limits Guideline" at https://developers.refinitiv.com/eikon-apis/eikon-data-api/docs

(somehow, the URL I provided in my previous reply does not properly bring you to the document.)
