Dsws unable to perform more than one bundle request

Blue.suit

I am trying to request several bundles of data through pythons Datastreamdsws module, the first request processes perfectly, but when I iterate for the second and subsequent try it fails with the following error.

get_bundle_data : Exception Occured
(<class 'TypeError'>, TypeError("argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable"), <traceback object at 0x000001D0E2929240>)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\user\miniconda3\envs\test\lib\site-packages\DatastreamDSWS\DS_Response.py", line 209, in get_bundle_data
    if 'DataResponses' in json_Response:
TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable
None

I have tried adding in some sleep time(60 seconds) to help slow it down but regardless it still happens.

I understand I can run a single request but this seems faster and better for our workflow. So I want to make it work.

Is there a way to disconnect are reconnect? or some other alternative, because I can run the script, then rerun again immediately and it works fine.

Alternatively, is there a function in the new RD Library which could replace my request?

I note in the documentation for dsws bundle request that there is a maximum of 100x5. I am operating in that with all requests having 20 tickers and 5 fields (100) and a maximum of 5 requests (500).

Here is the code I am running:

reqs =[]
for i in range(6):
    for i in range(len(ticker_str_list)):  
        reqs.append(ds.post_user_request(tickers=ticker_str_list[i], fields=['P','ISOCUR','P.U','PI','RI'], start=calc_date, end=calc_date, kind=0)

    sd = ds.get_bundle_data(bundleRequest=reqs)

successful 'sd' output example which happens on first request:

Thanks for reaching out to us.

You may need to empty the reqs array for each get_bundle_data request.

The code looks like this:

for i in range(6):
reqs =[]
    for i in range(len(ticker_str_list)):  
        reqs.append(ds.post_user_request(tickers=ticker_str_list[i], fields=['P','ISOCUR','P.U','PI','RI'], kind=0))

    sd = ds.get_bundle_data(bundleRequest=reqs)

Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
