Received invalid 'digits' argument when using EIKON API R to pull data
Was using the Eikon API R to run a loop to pull data for various securities. When I returned to my computer and RStudio, I received this error:
Error in print.default("HTTP Error, code= ", response$status_code, sep = "") :
invalid 'digits' argument
Was unsure what was the problem as it was abrupt. Here is the traceback:
Error in print.default("HTTP Error, code= ", response$status_code, sep = "") :
invalid 'digits' argument
6. print.default("HTTP Error, code= ", response$status_code, sep = "")
5. print("HTTP Error, code= ", response$status_code, sep = "")
4. send_json_request(DataGrid_UDF_endpoint, payload, debug = debug)
3. get_data(instruments = aSEDOL, fields = list("TR.RIC"))
2. check_valid_sedol(aSEDOL)
1. update_all(SEDOLused$SEDOL)

Hi all, I returned to my script the next day and ran it again and it worked. Maybe the servers were under maintenance or something.
