@subarini

It seems you missed an important point in both answers by @chavalit.jintamalit and @wasin.waeosri. The type of the start_date argument must be either a datetime or a string. In your case it's neither. Make sure you enclose the value of 2019-01-01 in quotes, i.e. make sure you use

start_date='2019-01-01'

and not

start_date=2019-01-01

If indeed you are using quotes to enclose the value of the start_date argument and all your previous posts were missing the quotes by mistake, then please provide the full traceback of the error you experience.

Hi @subarini

I think your end_date and start_date is not correct.

Based on the provided code, start_date is the current date, that means end_date is earlier than start_date.


After I swap start_date and end_date, the code works fine.

Any update as to what else could be the error?

Hello @subarini

Could you please share the error value/message that you receives from the API?

I have tried to replicate you code and I got "'end date ({})should be after than start date ({})'" error message as following:

Based on the Eikon Data API reference, the end_date should be the same date or after start_date, so I switch the value of curr_date and '2019-01-01' string. The function call works fine.

Please note that the date value '2019-01-01' is a string format.
