Eikon Data API

bferguson

I have two questions

1. Is there any endpoint I can hit to get me metadata for a given RIC?

I have tried searching the lseg.data api or eikon api and could not find anything,

2. No data coming out of:

Or more specifically, the entire timeseries comes out as NaNs

ek.get_timeseries(

rics = ['SYB-2YNOLAF-F'],   

start_date=str('2019-01-01'),   

fields=["CLOSE"],   

interval="daily",)

which is surprising because the same call returns data via the lseg.data api.

I want to use the eikon wrapper because it seems like I can access longer history via those endpoints. Any help here would be great.

Thank you

Thank you for reaching out to us.

You can remove the fields parameter to see all available fields. I found that this RIC provides the VALUE field.

df = ek.get_timeseries(
    rics = ['SYB-2YNOLAF-F'],   
    start_date=str('2019-01-01'),   
    #fields=["CLOSE"],  
    interval="daily",)
df

To get the historical data of other real-time fields, you need to use the get_history method in the LSEG Data Library for Python instead.

df = ld.get_history(universe=['SYB-2YNOLAF-F'],    
    start="2019-01-01",
    end="2019-02-01")
df

Please explain more about the meta data that you want to retrieve.

You can use the Data Item Browser tool to search for available fields. Then, use the get_data method to retieve the values of those fields.
