how can I specify the TZ of the timestamps in Eikon python api?

opsp

how can I choose the timezone of the arguments but also of the returned values in the result data frame?

eg:
ek.get_timeseries(i, start_date = "2021-07-18T00:00:00", end_date = "2021-07-20T16:34:05", interval="minute")

opsp

just so we all know, this was probably the most complete answer

From my testing, I can specify timezone with this format "2020-12-10T14:50:00-02:00".

However, the time in the resutl is stil in GMT.

I did a similar test in for RIC=ESU1 and it seemed to be in Chicago time.

can you give me an example that reconciles the intraday data with the official open and close data for ESU1?

thanks

@opsp

I have compared the output with the Eikon Chart application. The time is in GMT.

opsp

thanks. I'll check again. meanwhile, can you confirm that there are no user preferences that might define the API timezone presentation?

As I know, there are no user preferences in Eikon Data API.
