Hi,
I would like to retrieve five-year-maturity CDS spread for a list of companies on a specific date historically. Is it possible to do this with Python using API to Workspace application? Could anyone help me with this? Thanks a lot in advance!
Hi @Emilymevo
Yes, for this, you may need to compute the spread. For this, you can us the Instrument Pricing Analytics API:
https://developers.lseg.com/en/api-catalog/refinitiv-data-platform/refinitiv-data-platform-apis/documentation#ipa-financial-contracts-cds-contracts
I used it in this article, as an example. As can be seen in the `content.ipa.financial_contracts.option.Definition` function, you may need to find the inputs yourself using get_data first, then input your findings in the IPA calculator; although it is unlikely (this tends to only be nessesary with expired instruments). If you have any issues ising IPA, don't hesitate to read this article. Failing that, don't hesitate to revert on this Q&A Forum.
Thank you a lot for the reply! Unfortunately I do not think I have access to the API you have mentioned. Is it possible to do extraction through the LSEG Data Library for Python?
