API request returns error invalid RIC for get_timeseries

stephen.smirnov

The following code throws me an error. At the same time, Excel add-on returns a time-series for the same RIC and dates.

import eikon as ek

df = ek.get_timeseries("LLCCS30",
                       start_date="2018-06-01",
                       end_date="2018-06-10",
                       fields='CLOSE')

The error is the following:

Error with LLCCS30: Invalid RIC

LLCCS30: Invalid RIC |

Error code -1 | LLCCS30: Invalid RIC |

How should the error be handled?

Hi @stephen.smirnov

I tried to use "LLCCS30" identifier but I could not retrieve data from Eikon Desktop nor Eikon Excel.

In this case, I believe that the LLCCS30 is not a valid RIC code.

Hello @stephen.smirnov

I have checked the LLCCS30 item name with DataScope Select API and I cannot find this item as either a RIC code or ISIN code. It confirms chavalit investigation above that the the LLCCS30 is not a valid item name.
