python eikon API - is there a parameter value for Edate which will get "all" the available history?

I have the following code:

df=ek.get_data('4295905573',['TR.PriceClose.Date', 'TR.PriceClose'], {'SDate':0, 'EDate':-365})

Is there a way to get "all" the available history, instead of setting it at a specific number of days?

Similarly, if I want to only get up to the last day of data for a company, is there an SDate value that will start on the "last" avaialble date automatically? If I set SDate to 0, and the EDate to say -5000, for a company that delisted say 1 year ago, it fills the whole 5000 reefcords with the last available value forward filled to "today"

@lgreen, you can try this workaround to get the timeseries from the first trading date:


dftemp,err=ek.get_data('4295905573','TR.FirstTradeDate')
start = dftemp['First Trade Date'][0]
df,err=ek.get_data('4295905573',['TR.PriceClose.Date', 'TR.PriceClose'], {'SDate':0, 'EDate':start})
df

would that go for the last trade date also? for companies that may be delisted?

@lgreen

as suggested by @chavalit.jintamalit you can use TR.RetireDate. If the TR.FirstTradingDate is null then you may try:

ek.get_data('TRIL.L^I09','MIN(TR.PriceClose.date)',{'SDate':0, 'EDate':-9999})

Hi @lgreen

There is no parameter to get "all" the available history.

For delisted company, you can get 'TR.RetireDate' and use it as the end date parameter.
