Question about Response Error

ramm001 commented 4 years ago

I was testing a code that worked for me yesterday, and I came through a "securityError" message from python. When i digged down the cause of this error, I found that the simplest verion of a code that reproduced an error was from the tutorial of pdblp. Thanks in advance for any help

Code

import pdblp
con = pdblp.BCon(debug=True, port=8194, timeout=5000)
con.start()
con.bdh('SPY US Equity', 'PX_LAST','20150629', '20150630')

Output


con = pdblp.BCon(debug=True, port=8194, timeout=5000)
con.start()
con.bdh('SPY US Equity', 'PX_LAST','20150629', '20150630')
pdblp.pdblp:INFO:Event Type: 'SESSION_STATUS'
pdblp.pdblp:INFO:Message Received:

    server = "localhost:8194"
    encryptionStatus = "Clear"
}

        }
    }
}

pdblp.pdblp:INFO:Message Received:

    serviceName = "//blp/refdata"
}

    }
    startDate = "20150629"
    endDate = "20150630"
    overrides[] = {
    }
}

You've hit your terminal data limit, I would contact Bloomberg about this.

Ok... diggin down on internet i found this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8791271/bloomberg-api-request-limit which I will assume it is closely related to your answer. Thank you!!

P.D: I contacted you a few days ago about other issues regarding ESG. I am a newbie using Bloomberg and your library. Thanks for readily answering my questions.
