I just tried to fetch price data of a single equity with get_timeseries function of the Python EIKON API. Unfortunately, I receive a warning and the "Date" column has integer values instead of datetime. I attached a screenshot of a simple example.Do you know how to get the dataframe with Date column in datetime format? I use Python 3.9, eikon 1.1.14, pandas 1.4.2., numpy 1.22.3
Upgrade from Eikon -> Workspace. Learn about programming differences.
For a deeper look into our Eikon Data API, look into:

Hi @tina.engler
I have tried your code snippet here and I cannot recreate the issue
Are you running in Codebook or a standalone python notebook?
As you will note, the _head() call and the 'Date' output are both appearing in normal Date format.
If you are running a standalone python script, what version of the Eikon API is installed? Can you try the same code snippet in CodeBook to see if you get the same result or not?

Hi, thanks for your quick reply!
I am running a standalone python script, where Version 1.1.14 of Eikon API is installed.
I tried to run the same code snipped in CodeBook as well and it seems to be the same problem (same warning, same output). example_codebook.PNG

Hi @tina.engler
I also tried your code in Codebook and if I set normalize=True, I also see the same issue as you.
I will report to the Eikon API team

Hi @umer.nalla ,
As checked, the issue is still persist, are there any update from the Eikon API Team regarding this, please.
Hi
@raksina.samasiri and
@tina.engler
Apologies but this issue fell through the cracks and was overlooked by the Eikon API team.
They have now picked it up and raised a ticket for it internally.

Hi @tina.engler
The EDAPI team have confirmed that a fix will be released in approximately 2 weeks in EDAPI library v1.1.16 and RDP Library b17
I'm suddenly having this issue with using the get_data() function. My script was working fine for months but suddenly started returning large numbers instead of dates. Any advice?
