hi i'm looking to retrieve the Market cap for companies.

From the data i received i see that the market cap is calculated different than in workspace.

How could we retrieve through the API the market cap according to CLOSE PRICE*OUTSTANDING SHARES?

example: RIC SES: market cap is calculated at the moment through issued shares*close price

we are looking for the OUTSTANDING SHARES*close price

Thanks🙂

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    You can use the Data Item Browser tool to seach for available fields and parameters.

    After knowing the TR fields and parameters, you can use the get_data method in the LSEG Data Library for Python to retrieve the data. For example:

    rd.get_data(
    universe=["AAPL.O"],
    fields=['TR.CompanyMarketCapitalization'])

    The examples are on GitHub.

    @Jirapongse Thank you for your answer.

    We have a user that is trying to pull the data with field MVC (please see screenshot below)
    should they change it with field TR.CompanyMarketCapitalization(ShType=OUT)?

    @Amouyal

    It is a dastream webservice. It doesn't support the TR.CompanyMarketCapitalization(ShType=OUT).

    The client can use the Datastream Navigator to search for data types.

    Otherwise, please contact the Datastream Webservice support team directly via MyAccount.
