What is the request limit for news requests for the EIKON Desktop API (Python)?
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
Eikon Data API - Streaming Price with events News.txt

Thank you for your answer. Looked up the "PNAC" field (Data Item Browser) but the field doesnt show any data (tried a couple different RICs). Also the instrument "NFCP_UBMS" doesnt exist. Can you please clarify the process to stream RIC specific news.

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.
