<coroutine object Client.get_kline_data at 0x00000111C02ADE40>

I am trying to get a 1hour Kline for a token and I cant get it to work.

from kucoin.client import Client as kucoin_client
kucoin_api_key = '6cccc1f'
kucoin_api_secret = '96912bcccc47b'
kucoin_api_passphrase = 'Voccccccc!'

kucoin_client = kucoin_client(kucoin_api_key, kucoin_api_secret, kucoin_api_passphrase)
symbol = 'ETH-BTC'
interval = '1hour'
x = {'symbol': symbol}
y = {'kline_type': interval}
try:
getkline = kucoin_client.get_kline_data(**x, **y)
getkline = kucoin_client.get_kline_data(symbol, interval)
except Exception as e:
error_call = e

getkline gets the result: '<coroutine object Client.get_kline_data at 0x00000111C02ADE40>' which obviosuly not what I want.
What am I doing wrong?

I think your problem is in the following line:

kucoin_client = kucoin_client(kucoin_api_key, kucoin_api_secret, kucoin_api_passphrase)

try one of them:
1.
from kucoin.client import Client
kucoin_client = Client(kucoin_api_key, kucoin_api_secret, kucoin_api_passphrase)

client = kucoin_client(kucoin_api_key, kucoin_api_secret, kucoin_api_passphrase)

I was able to solve it.
The call requires a start date and a end date. The docs make it seem its not mandatory.

def date_to_seconds(date_str):
"""Convert UTC date to seconds

If using offset strings add "UTC" to date string e.g. "now UTC", "11 hours ago UTC"

See dateparse docs for formats http://dateparser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

:param date_str: date in readable format, i.e. "January 01, 2018", "11 hours ago UTC", "now UTC"
:type date_str: str
"""
# get epoch value in UTC
epoch = datetime.utcfromtimestamp(0).replace(tzinfo=pytz.utc)
# parse our date string
d = dateparser.parse(date_str)
# if the date is not timezone aware apply UTC timezone
if d.tzinfo is None or d.tzinfo.utcoffset(d) is None:
    d = d.replace(tzinfo=pytz.utc)

# return the difference in time
return int((d - epoch).total_seconds())

and in the main code:

            start_str = '260 hours ago UTC'
            end_str = None
            start_ts = date_to_seconds(start_str)
            if end_str is None:
                end_str = 'now UTC'
            end_ts = date_to_seconds(end_str)

            try:
                kline2 = kucoin_client.get_kline_data(symbol, interval, start_ts, end_ts)
                frame = pd.DataFrame(kline2)
