Download the stock daily prices and total return together with date sorted

jiayin.meng.20

Hi all,

I am trying to download the daily prices and total return of a list of RICs. However, when I tried by using the following codes, the sorted dates of these two variables are opposite. How to modify the code to combine the date?

Many thanks

ric = df['ric'].astype(str).tolist()

df, e = ek.get_data(ric, 
                    ['TR.PriceClose(Curn=USD)','TR.TotalReturn','TR.PriceClose.calcdate','TR.TotalReturn.date'],
                     {'SDate': '2024-01-01',
                     'EDate': '2024-02-10','Frq':'D'})
df

Hi @jiayin.meng.20 ,

I would advise updating to the new library, have you had a look at it?

import refinitiv.data as rd
rd.open_session()

df = rd.get_data(
    universe=["LSEG.L", "VOD.L"],
    fields=['TR.PriceClose(Curn=USD)','TR.TotalReturn','TR.PriceClose.calcdate','TR.TotalReturn.date'],
    parameters={
        "SDate": '2024-01-01',
        "EDate": '2024-02-10', # "Curn": "EUR",
        'Frq':'D'})
df

I'd actually advise the get_history function instead.
