Hi all,
I have a quick question, I try to get a historical Data series for selected SMI, S&P & Eurostoxx50 constituents that goes back until 2009/01/01. But the Data series only goes back to 2010 with different start dates for SMI, S&P & Eurostoxx50.
Please see below a print screen of my code and output.
Is there any reason why or do I make a mistake?
Many thanks for your help.
cheers,
Marc
Hello @kwikmar1 ,
In addition to the suggestion from @nick.zincone, you may wish to refer to Eikon Data API Usage and Limits Guideline
for the complete details on EDAPI usage and limits.
You are running into current get_timeseries per request limit of 3K rows.
Consequently, you can also chunk the requested time interval into two parts in order to obtain the complete result using Eikon Data API:
start = '2009-01-01' end = '2015-01-01' ek.get_timeseries(['SLHN.S'],'CLOSE', start_date = start, end_date = end, interval = 'daily')
and
start = '2015-01-02' end = '2022-05-20' ek.get_timeseries(['SLHN.S'],'CLOSE', start_date = start, end_date = end, interval = 'daily')
Hope this information also helps
Hi @kwikmar1
I can't try your specific example, but using the Refinitiv Data Library for Python, and one of the example RICs I see in your result, I can see historical values back to 2009. For example:
rd.get_history(universe='SLHN.S', fields=['TR.Close'],
start="2009-01-01", end="2022-03-31")
