OverflowError: timeout doesn't fit into C timeval

hi.

I used the eikon 1.0.1 version.

If you call get_data function using python api, the following message appears.


The result of running the example source.


Can you see why?



ek.get_timeseries ('AAPL.O', fields = "*", start_date = '2019-01-01', end_date = '2019-09-20')


Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi @sshinben

Your code works fine on my machine.


Please try to restart your machine, Eikon Desktop and internet connection and try again.

May I ask your PC environment?


In the case of Windows7 OS, the API was well executed.

The API has not been running since last week when I changed the OS to Windows 10.


Do you have any APIs that don't support Windows 10?

Hi @sshinben

I am using both win7 and win10.

And I can get the data successfully on both window versions.

Can you also try to reinstall Eikon Desktop ?
