Time Zone in get_data

Question

1 ●0 ●0 ●0

Hello, when I pull data using the following code, for some reason the information about Time is pulled in GMT but I need it en EST.

df, err = ek.get_data(

instruments = ['Cusip=FINR'],

fields = ['PRIMACT_1', 'NETCHNG_1', 'ACVOL_1', 'VALUE_TS1', 'VALUE_DT1', 'TR.FiIssuerName']

)

I can retrieve all information properly, but VALUE_TS1 values are pulled in GMT unfortunately.

I am likely missing some of the question, so it may be helpful to clarify with the exact request that you run when you get GMT results back:

FINR does not look like a valid CUSIP?
The request, if run as is, does not result in valid result for me?
Via Data Item Browser tool, available on Eikon desktop, one can verify if field request supports any parameters, such as Time Zone selection. I do not believe Time Zone can be selected, for isntance, for VALUE_TS1 field. But I can not reproduce exactly what you request, so can not tell for certain.
