get_data returns multiple lines instead of one. leading to many 400 errors when requesting

Hello

I am facing a issue when requesting fund descriptive data with the code below. it returns a dataframe with many times the same lines. It should have returned only 1 line.

Also it seems to slow down the request and this leads to many 400 errors when requesting for a lot of times.

Would someone have an idea on why it returns so many lines instead of one? and how to fix that?

Many thanks.

Charles

Below is the code 

fund_id = "LP40007162"
date_data = Timestamp('2019-04-29 16:06:12.208539')
fields_desc = ["TR.FdInvestorFilingDate","TR.FdInvestorFilingType","TR.ISIN","TR.FdPrevInvestorFilDate","TR.FdPrevInvestorFilType","TR.FundLaunchDate","TR.InstrumentDescription","TR.AssetCategory"]
fields_desc2 = ["TR.FundCrossReferenceIdentifiersType","TR.FundCrossReferenceIdentifiers","TR.FundName","TR.FundType","TR.FundCountryOfDomicile","TR.FundDomicile","TR.FundDomicileCode","TR.FundCurrency","TR.NETASSETVAL","TR.FundCompany","TR.FundPortfolioManager","TR.FundObjective","TR.FundCustodian","TR.FundClassificationSectorName"]
parameters={"CURN": "USD"} #, "SDate" : date_data}
df_1_fund, e = ek.get_data(fund_id, fields_desc+fields_desc2, parameters)

Below is the table returned.

    Your list of fields includes several fields related to fund holdings. The following fields are categorized in the Formula Builder wizard of Eikon Excel under "Ownership - Ownership Investors - Fund-Level Holdings": TR.FdInvestorFilingDate, TR.FdInvestorFilingType, TR.FdPrevInvestorFilDate, TR.FdPrevInvestorFilType. These fields return a separate row for each of the fund holdings.
    TR.FundCountryOfDomicile is categorized under "Lipper Funds - Fund Holdings" and also returns a row for each fund holdings, although unlike the other fields I listed above by default it returns only the top 10 rows. Unlike TR.FundDomicile, which you also have in your list of fields and which returns the jurisdiction where a fund is legally incorporated, TR.FundCountryOfDomicile returns the domicile of the fund holding (separate value for each holding).
