Backend Error 400

Getting a lot of error 400 today:

Also tried 1.5h ago with the same errors.

Is there something wrong with backend server now?

Problem solved magically by restarting Eikon twice.

Hi @igorg

I just tried to test the API calls for 100 times and it works fine.

import time

for x in range(100):
    try:
        df,e = ek.get_data('0#IND:','RECORDTYPE')
        print(x,':',df.head(1))
        time.sleep(1)        
    except EikonError:
        print(EikonError)
        continue

Output:

0 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114
1 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114
2 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114
3 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114
.
.
.
96 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114
97 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114
98 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114
99 :   Instrument  RECORDTYPE
0     INDV20         114

Hi @igorg

The moderator in this forum can provide guidance on the sample code e.g. how to use the API, what is the sample code on the API, etc...

For product support or technical troubleshooting, you have to open a ticket to Refinitiv Helpdesk.
