Hello,
It seems eikon is 32 bit, but some large values are larger than the 32bit wideness.
I've read around that there's no plan to release the API in 64bit, but some workaround may be possible.
In my case, I'm trying to retrieve data through get_data in python 3.7.7 (64 bit):
ek.get_data( ['.HSI'], {'TR.SurfVolMONEYNESS': { 'params':{ 'TENOR': '1M;24M', 'range': '50;150' }}}, raw_output=True )
Looking at the software, it seems the large value that cannot be converted is not even part of the results table, in the software it's there:
Is there any workaround known to you to avoid this error?
Thanks,
In your sample code, please try raw_output=False
And I compare the result from API with result from Eikon Excel, both results are the same (504 rows)
From my checking, the large integer returned from Python Eikon Data API can be displayed properly.
If the error message is "Error converting value XXX to type 'System.Int32", please let me know the API that you are using to retrieve the data.
Thanks for the answer, when I execute your commands in python 3.7.7 (64b) I have the Int32 conversion error.
I'm using python api eikon 1.1.2 with thomson reuteurs eikon Desktop 4.0.50
I noticed however that my installation of Eikon is the 32b one, is there a 64b version I can download somewhere to try if it solves the issue ?
Thanks,
