Upgrade from Eikon -> Workspace. Learn about programming differences.
For a deeper look into our Eikon Data API, look into:
Overview | Quickstart | Documentation | Downloads | Tutorials | Articles
If I run
import eikon as ek
then run
ek.set_app_key('xxxxxxx') t
then run
data = ek.get_timeseries(['.SPXTR'], fields='CLOSE', start_date='2020-02-12', end_date='2021-02-08', interval='daily')
It works, most of the time. However, if I run it all in one scrip it will hang without giving an error and I have to restart spyder. This can't be by design so what can I do to fix this? Thanks.

After discussing it further with the development team, I am going to use the DSWS API instead. I have not had any issues with it and it seems to be a little more polished than the Eikon one. Thanks, and this thread can be closed.
@adam-s.fay I have tried the following with Spyder v3.7 and it works fine for me:
import eikon as ek
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
ek.set_app_key('YOUR API KEY HERE')
data = ek.get_timeseries(['.SPXTR'], fields='CLOSE', start_date='2020-02-12', end_date='2021-02-08', interval='daily')
print(data)
Can you try that? I hope this can help.
Hi Jason, thanks for the response, but unfortunately it still just hangs at runfile. It doesn't give an error message, but it will work if I run each line individually. Probably one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen in coding.
@adam-s.fay are you able to run this code properly in a jupyter notebook for example?
