blp.bds function returning blank data frames [0.7.6]

[gruaig]

Hi,

So up until yesterday, this function was working fine. Do we know if bbg has changed something? The data frame is coming back as empty

Empty DataFrame Columns: [] Index: []

function code below

from xbbg import blp

def get_bbg_tickers(index_import): """Take the index name and query data from Bloomberg, Return a list of tickers instead.""" index_members = blp.bds(index_import, flds='') print(index_members)

index_name = index_members.reset_index()["ticker"][0]

index_members["member_ticker_and_exchange_code"] = index_members["member_ticker_and_exchange_code"]
ticker_list = index_members["member_ticker_and_exchange_code"].to_list()
return ticker_list

get_bbg_tickers('TSLA US Equity')

The error message is below

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\ProgramData\Miniconda3\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\indexes\base.py", line 3621, in get_loc return self._engine.get_loc(casted_key) File "pandas_libs\index.pyx", line 136, in pandas._libs.index.IndexEngine.get_loc File "pandas_libs\index.pyx", line 163, in pandas._libs.index.IndexEngine.get_loc File "pandas_libs\hashtable_class_helper.pxi", line 5198, in pandas._libs.hashtable.PyObjectHashTable.get_item File "pandas_libs\hashtable_class_helper.pxi", line 5206, in pandas._libs.hashtable.PyObjectHashTable.get_item KeyError: 'member_ticker_and_exchange_code'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
