How to get in C# the same data as in Python with eikon.get_timeseries

Hello,

It seems that historical data from some RICs are different when extracted through the Eikon Terminal Instrument Explorer, vs Excel Add-in, vs the Python eikon API, when I would expect them to be the same.

What is the exact C# code which I need to use to get the exact same data which is outputted by the Python code below?

import eikon as ek

ek.get_timeseries(['GFRUKBWE1'], ['Value'], start_date=None, end_date=None, interval='tick', count=1000000)

Thank you

The data retrieved by Eikon Data API .NET is similar to the data retrieved by the Python library.

It seems that there is a function in C# which seems equivalent to python: eikon.GetTimeSeries() - see first snapshot.

One issue I have found is that the data seems to be duplicated at a very short time intervals - see second snapshot. What could be causing those artefacts?
