How do we retrieve the FID values via EIKON API for Stock Futures like RELIX1:NS (RICs with ":") using python. We are able to retrieve the data for other such RICs with no special character. Input list does not accept the RICs with ":"

@arun.mahabala You can use the Data Item Browser app (type DIB into eikon search bar) to check all fields available for any RIC. Please see below the output - you can see real-time FIDs as well as all other non-realtime fields - you can use the content classification filter on the left hand side to highlight only specific content sets to reduce the number of fields shown:
Another way is to open a quote window with the RIC and then right click and select Template ==> Display All Fields - this will display all real-time FIDs for any RIC.
I hope this can help.
Thanks for the suggestion. This is possible for Quote and DIB app.
However, using API if you want to extract data for some RICs and if your input RIC has ":" (sample RIC is <RELIX1:NS>), then it fails to extract the data from API. your query would just fail to move further.

<RELIX1:NS> may be delisted. I can use <RELIX1:NS^1> with the get_timeseries method.
data = ek.get_timeseries('RELIX1:NS^1',
start_date='2010-09-22',
end_date='2012-10-20',
interval='daily')
data
The output is:
You can contact the content support team directly MyRefinitiv to verify if this RIC is still valid.

RICs with ":" can not just be imported (via CSV or XLSX) when using EIKON API. It accepts other special characters such as ".", "/" etc.
Example RIC: RELIF2:NS (RELIX1:NS is not expired)
Does anyone have any solution to this.
