lseg.data.content type conversions

bastien.rousseau

When using lseg.data.content how can I control the type conversions occuring for response fields ?

For example :

import lseg.data as ld
universe = ["/SOGN.PA"]

fields = ["BID", "ASK", "CURRENCY", "RDN_EXCHID", "QUOTE_DATE", "QUOTIM", "QUOTIM_MS", "QUOTIM_NS"]
stream = ld.content.pricing.Definition(universe = universe, fields = fields).get_stream()

stream.open(with_updates=False)

stream.close()

df = stream.get_snapshot()

For Enum fields (RDN_EXCHID, CURRENCY) the response is the id, I would like to be able to get the text value instead.

For other fields is there a way to get the raw response (ie without the type inference attempt) ?

Thanks.

Hi @bastien.rousseau

I woudl advise looking into the Data Item Browser (DIB): https://developers.refinitiv.com/en/video-catalog/data-item-browser

WIth it, I was able to find the field `CF_CURR`; is that what you are after?

import lseg.data as ld

ld.open_session()


universe = ["/SOGN.PA"]


fields = ["BID", "ASK", "CF_CURR", "RDN_EXCHID", "QUOTE_DATE", "QUOTIM", "QUOTIM_MS", "QUOTIM_NS"]

stream = ld.content.pricing.Definition(universe = universe, fields = fields).get_stream()


stream.open(with_updates=False)


stream.close()


df = stream.get_snapshot()
