.get_data API gives different results in refinitiv.dataplatform versus deprecated `eikon` python ...

tr105
tr105 Explorer
in Eikon Data APIs

...package

Confusingly, this only works when using the `eikon` package, and not when using the refinitiv-dataplatform package. What am I missing? I thought the latter was a successor of the deprecated `eikon` package?

The below gives an empty dataframe, indicating no valid results were found.

import refinitiv.dataplatform as rdp
print(rdp.__version__)
"1.0.0a13"

df = rdp.get_data(
    ['912828N30'],
    ['TR.YieldToMaturityAnalytics(ValuationDate=2018-10-09)'],
)

df # empty


The below works 

import eikon as ek
print(ek.__version__)
"1.1.14"

df, err = ek.get_data(
    ['912828N30'],
    ['TR.YieldToMaturityAnalytics(ValuationDate=2018-10-09)'],
)
df
InstrumentYield to Maturity0912828N303.039743

    @tr105 So there are some small differences between the underlying service in the old Eikon library and the RDP version of the service. The RDP service is not yet at full parity with the old service in a few places. I think the bond analytic you requested is not yet ported to the new RDP instance. Sadly there is no workaround but to use the extant Eikon Library until the beta RDP service is at parity. Just an FYI you can use both the Eikon library and the RDP library from the same RDP package:

    import refinitiv.dataplatform.eikon as ek
    import refinitiv.dataplatform as rdp

    I hope this can help.
