You can refer to this Essential Guide to the Data Libraries - Generations of Python library (EDAPI, RDP, RD, LD) article regarding the differences between Eikon Data API and LSEG Data Library for Python.

Hi @nacho_gracia,

Thank you for reaching out!

I think you are using Eikon library which is old and not supported. We have moved to the lseg.data library.

You can refer LSEG Data Library for Python for more details, examples and guides.

Regarding the code, the latest one will look like this:

#pip install lseg-data  # if not already present

import lseg.data as ld
ld.open_session() # for desktop session, LSEG Workspace needs to be open on the same machine

ld.get_data(
          universe = isin,
          fields = fields, 
          parameters = parameters 
          # parameters = {'SDate': '2026-01-01', 'EDate': '2026-12-31'} #actual dates can also be used
)

ld.close_session()

The call will return future values if present.

Please let me know if this helps. Thank you : )
