Issue about retrieving headlines before 13/03/2021 with Eikon API

dsnyu

I am trying to get the news headlines from 01/01/2020 to 31/03/2021. However, only news headlines from 13/03/2021 are retrievable. May I ask is it my code gone wrong or it is Reuters doesn't allow old news headlines retrieval. Thxxxxx

Dear @dsnyu ,

According to the Eikon Data API Usage and Limits Guideline, it is limited to 15 months, that is why you are getting news from 13/03/2021.

get_news_headlines: The current limit value is 100 headlines per request. The depth of history is 15 months

I hope this answered to your question.
