Hi @Tulkkas
If you want to use get_data method, you can try this:
ek.get_data('USD3MFSR=X',['TR.FIXINGVALUE.date','TR.FIXINGVALUE'],{"Sdate":'2005-01-03', "Edate":'2019-01-03'})
That works well indeed. Just the correct field name for the date is 'TR.FIXINGVALUE.Date' with capital letter.

Thank you but could you be a little more specific?
Like i managed to get data using get_timeseries() as follow:
data = ek.get_timeseries(['USD3MFSR=X'], ['Close'],start_date="2005-01-03", end_date= "2019-01-03");
But i can't find a workaround to make get_data() to work. Any ideas why this does not work:
data = ek.get_data(['USD3MFSR=X'], ['Close'],{start_date: "2005-01-03", end_date: "2019-01-03"});

Hi @Tulkkas,
I don't believe the backend reference DB keep track of historical values for this instrument. You will have to use the get_timeseries() to retrieve these values. I noticed within the Data Item Browser, there are no historical parameters offered:
