Bond yiled instead of price data using python

I am trying to get yield data on .IBBEU002A with python. In excel this works by adding "AVG YIELD.Value" in the formula. Can I retrieve the same data using get_timeseries (or another) function in eikon and how?Thank you.

I'm afraid at the moment there's no way to retrieve the timeseries for these values using Eikon Data APIs. You can retrieve current value using get_data method and field GEN_VAL1. But the timeseries currently can only be retrieved using legacy Eikon .NET API or using RHistory library of Eikon COM APIs. The latter can only be used in Excel VBA.

@Alex Putkov Thanks for the quick response.

I am trying to get the yield for .JALBI and seems I have same issue. Will this ability be added to the Python API at some stage?
