Problem with get_news_story function

Hello,

I am trying to retrieve news data with Eikon API using Python. The function get_news_headlines works fine but if I try to get news texts using get_news_story I get the following:

In most of cases: "http://filings.retrieval.service.ib.thomsonone.com/Filings.Viewer/Down..." without text!

Other cases: "storyContent * {border-color:inherit !important;outline-colo..." with the news text correctly.

I tried to put in some sleeptime (time.sleep()). Without success.

Could you help me?

Hi @82LL35910622

I just tested this code:

get headline

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

And then get a story

df = newsText = ek.get_news_story('urn:newsml:reuters.com:20190404:nGLF70jBtR:2')

Here is the result:

<div class="storyContent" lang="es"><p><a href="reuters://screen/verb=Open/url=cpurl%3A%2F%2Fviews.cp.%2Ffilings%2FFilings.Viewer%2FDownload.aspx%3FContentFormat%3Dpdf%26DocumentId%3D50168946" data-type="cpurl" data-cpurl="cpurl://views.cp./filings/Filings.Viewer/Download.aspx?ContentFormat=pdf&DocumentId=50168946" translate="no">http://filings.retrieval.service.ib.thomsonone.com/Filings.Viewer/Down...</a></p></div>


This is an attachment that you have to open on Eikon Desktop.

data-type="cpurl" data-cpurl="cpurl://views.cp./filings/Filings.Viewer/Download.aspx?ContentFormat=pdf&DocumentId=50168946"


So this news story id does not have any story text but it provides you a CPURL to be open on Eikon Desktop.

(Sorry I misunderstood your previous question)

Sorry but cpurl is only supported in Eikon Desktop.
