    Hi @frank.ling1,

    It appears to be a bug in the library. The parameter retName is listed in the documentation and the get_data function uses it as well, but it is not defined as one of the arguments to the library function call - which is why you are getting this error.

    def get_data(self, tickers, fields=None, start='', end='', freq='', kind=1):

    I will raise this bug with Refinitiv Support.
