You can use try / except block.
Here is the modified code:
df,e = ek.get_data('0#.FTAS','TR.RIC')
rics = df['Instrument'].tolist()
# stock_name = 621 RICs
data_set = None
count = 0
error_ric = []
for stock_name in rics:
count+=1
try:
stock_data = ek.get_timeseries(stock_name,start_date='2000-01-01',end_date='2020-01-01',
fields='*',interval='monthly',corax='adjusted')
stock_data.columns = pd.MultiIndex.from_product([[stock_name], stock_data.columns])
time.sleep(1.3)
if data_set is None:
data_set = stock_data
else:
data_set = pd.concat([data_set,stock_data], axis=1)
print(count,'/',len(rics),' ', stock_name, ' = ', len(stock_data))
except ek.EikonError as err:
print(count,'/',len(rics),' ', stock_name, ' = ERROR')
error_ric.append(stock_name)
And here is the error handling.
