Does xbbg cache each request?

Hi, I am trying to understand when I make repeated calls like this:

blp.bdib("ESA Index", dt="2020-01-25", session="allday", ref="CME", cache=True)

vs

blp.bdib("ESA Index", dt="2020-01-25", session="allday", ref="CME")

Does it cache the result of these calls? Does the cache argument doing anything?

Thanks！

Thanks for the info. It is fixed in version 0.7.6a8.

Hi. For some reason, I’m also unable to get blp.bdib working.

For example, (Windows user here) I defined properly the BBG_ROOT environment variable, and amended assets.yml and exch.yml to be able to pull Euronext commodities futures series. blp.bdh and blp.bdtick work perfectly well, but blp.bdib returns me OperationalError: unable to open database file whatever the kwargs I may try out.

The example provided in XBBG documentation blp.bdib(ticker='BHP AU Equity', dt='2018-10-17').tail() gets me the same error message.

I’ll continue to dig as I need those data (!), but any help is much welcome indeed!

Many thanks. tag

Ok, so I got it working. It was a simple sqlite3 connection issue, more specifically with the command with db.SQLite(f'{data_path}/Logs/xbbg.db') as con: in \xbbg\core\trials.py

The thing is that I hadn’t any Logs folder. So I manually created one, \xbbg\markets\Logs (location depending on BBG_ROOT).

The code examples in my previous post now work just fine.

Maybe @shadow-of-life-bravo can see whether this would also solve his issue?

Thank you. tag
