"No data available" error through API but it is in Eikon

in Eikon Data APIs

Hello,

I am trying to retrieve data for some Saudi stocks, e.g. RIC 4130.SE, with Python using:

candles = ek.get_data(instruments = "4130.SE", fields=["Open","High","Low","Close","Volume"],  start_date = "2010-01-01T00:00:00", end_date = "2023-11-01T00:00:00", interval='daily', corax = 'adjusted')


However, I just get about 12 days of history (see small snapshot below).

However, in Eikon I can clearly see:

1699632679435.png

(it goes back to 2010).

Any suggestions on what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Please confirm the API that you are using. How did you import ek?

    According to the parameters, it could be the ek.get_timeseries method.

    The code looks like this:

    candles = ek.get_timeseries("4130.SE", 
                         fields=["Open","High","Low","Close","Volume"],  
                         start_date = "2010-01-01T00:00:00", 
                         end_date = "2023-11-01T00:00:00", 
                         interval='daily', 
                         corax = 'adjusted')
    candles

    The output is:

    @Jirapongse Thanks, I used "import eikon as ek". It works with a single ticker, but not with a list of RICs, is it maybe subsetting to the latest available datapoint?


    Thank you so much for your help anyways!
