Hi, I request the lates news (e.g. for specific RICs) through the get_news_headline() function (Python). When I received the data a new request is sent (is there a way to stream or receive push notifications on new headlines?). Unfortunately, after some time I receive a "too many requests" error and get blocked for >20k seconds.
What is the limit on those news requests and is it possible to increase this limit?
Hi @mrobl
Please see this document for further details on limits etc
EIKON DATA API USAGE AND LIMITS GUIDELINE
I believe the usage counters are reset at midnight local time.
You can request streaming news - as demonstrated in the short script attached

Hi @mrobl
Did you run the script? I ran the script before I shared it e.g.
NFCP_UBMS is a streaming News RIC which contains the field PNAC which in turn contains the StoryID.
A few posts you may find useful - ignore the comment about EikonData API not supporting streaming - as this was added more recently.
