Getting Error message - ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

df, err = ek.get_timeseries(["AUD="], start_date='2022-05-12T15:00:00', end_date='2022-05-12T15:30:00', interval='tick',
                            fields=['TIMESTAMP', 'VALUE', 'HIGH', 'LOW', 'OPEN', 'CLOSE'])

#df['Mid']=df.mean(axis=1)
print(tabulate(df, headers='keys', tablefmt='fancy_grid'))

Hi @Atul.Sanwal,

The get_timeseries API call does not return a tupple like get_data call. Please use following syntax:

df = ek.get_timeseries("AUD=", start_date='2022-05-12T15:00:00', end_date='2022-05-12T15:30:00', interval='tick')
display(df)

now i am getting the following error : ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)

Atul.Sanwal

it actually worked after i changed
df, err= ek.get_timeseries to
df =ek.get_timeseries

Atul.Sanwal

just one more question, is there a way to get fx mid using timeseries function or bid/ask values

Atul.Sanwal

df = ek.get_timeseries("JPY=", 'TR.ASKPRICE', 'TR.BIDPRICE',start_date= '2022-05-12T15:00:00',end_date= '2022-05-12T15:10:00', interval='tick')
df['Mid']=df.mean(axis=1)
print(tabulate(df, headers='keys', tablefmt='fancy_grid'))

hi @Atul.Sanwal ,

Those fields aren't available in the get_timeseries request

To get the bid and ask values of JPY=, I
would recommend you look at the newer RD Library for Python - which is currently in Beta and
due for release in the coming months.

It should have much-improved
error/session handling than RDP Library once it is released and the data available in Eikon Data API is also available there.

It will also have fuller
documentation - I have been advised by the RD Library team that they are
awaiting the completion of the documentation to confirm the release date.

To try using this and discovering RD Library, you can open its code example in the Codebook app on the Eikon desktop and check in the directory below

• __Examples__/01. Data Retrieval & Discovery/01.01. Refinitiv Data Library/EX_01_01_02__Access__Get_History.ipynb

Please let me know in case you have any questions

actually i am trying to do a fx comparison between our broker rates vs refiniiv's rates, was wondering If i get JPY = 128.48 asof 13th May at London 4pm, how will i get the rate for the same timezone from refinitiv, also, how many Counts it will deliver, the objective is to compare like for like
