How to use eikon's get_data function to get revenue data between a certain sdate and edate

rice

I tried：

import eikon as ek

new_data_df, err = ek.get_data(['AANC.BO'], ['TR.TotalRevenue'], {"Curn": "USD", "SDate": '2024-01-01', "EDate": '2024-11-22', 'Frq': 'D', "Scale":8})

But the data it returns is very strange, there are only two kinds of numbers

Hi @rice ,

You can add .date after the field name to see the date of each field's data, as below

import eikon as ek


new_data_df, err = ek.get_data(['AANC.BO'], ['TR.TotalRevenue.date','TR.TotalRevenue'], {"Curn": "USD", "SDate": '2024-01-01', "EDate": '2024-11-22', 'Frq': 'D', "Scale":8})

so how to use eikon's get_data function to get revenue data between a certain sdate and edate?

I tried to ask for help in the Helpdesk, but the email reply used the refinitiv.data package. He told me that if I want to know how to use ek.get_data to get data, I need to go to the Developer Community for help.

Hi @rice ,

Is this what you're looking for?

df, err = ek.get_data(['AANC.BO'],

                      ['TR.F.TotRevBizActiv.date','TR.F.TotRevBizActiv.periodenddate','TR.F.TotRevBizActiv'],

                      {'SDate':'2024-01-01', 'EDate':'2024-11-22','FRQ':'FI','Period':'FI0'})

df

The description of the field can be found in Data Item Browser

This seems to be the summary data for the quarter. What I want is the data between any sdate and edate. Similar to the following:

import refinitiv.data as rd

rd.open_session()

df = rd.get_data(

    universe = ['AANC.BO'],

    fields = ['TR.TotalReturn(Frq=D,SDate=2023-01-01,EDate=2023-12-31)']

)

In this way, I can add up the data for each day to get the data for a period of time.
But this uses the refinitive.data package, and I want to get the same data through the eikon package

You can use the same instruments and fields with Eikon Data API. For example:

df, err = ek.get_data(
    ['AANC.BO'],
    ['TR.TotalReturn(Frq=D,SDate=2023-01-01,Edate=2023-12-31)']
)
df

Thank you for your patient answer. This can indeed get the data, but when I try to get the revenue data, the returned data seems to have some problems. There are only two values.

@rice

You may need to add dates to check the dates of the data.

I am not sure if the TotalRevenue can be changed daily. You need to contact the helpdesk team via MyAccount to verify it.
