Hi @fredy.sarmiento, You can call the Eikon get_data call repeatedly, whenever you need the current real time price for an instrument. For 1 minute, this call can be placed in a one minute loop.
>>> while True:
... df,err = ek.get_data('EUR=', ['BID','ASK'])
... print(df)
... time.sleep(60)
...
Instrument BID ASK
0 EUR= 1.108 1.1084
Instrument BID ASK
0 EUR= 1.108 1.1082
The new version of Python Data API (currently EAP) also allows subscribing to streaming data.
Hi @Gurpreeet
It worked once but now I am getting an error message:
"NameError: name 'time' is not defined"
Also, I was trying to get the Close Price but I got NaN.
My eikon version is
1.1.2b0
Thanks for your help

You will have to import the time module in python:
import time
You can search/use the "Data Item Browser" within Eikon to see the list of fields available to you.

Hi @Gurpreet, Thanks for your help before and Ii was wondering if you know how to do the following request:
Request the last 300 data points from now, in 1-minute interval for EUR and get real-time updates every minute. Basically, creating a constant flow of 300 data points that updates in real-time.
Request the last 300 data points from now, in 1-minute interval for EUR and get real-time updates every minute. Basically, creating a constant flow of 300 data points that updates in real-time.
My objective is to replicate and calculate some technical analysis indicators, or even better I am not sure if I can directly request technical Analysis indicators?
Many thanks
Fredy
