In Workspace codebook, we can found two APIs, one is using lseg data api, eg. import lseg.data as ld, another is using refinitiv api, eg. import refinitiv.data as rd.

May I know what is the difference between the two APIs?

Are all functions (expecially api syntax) the same for the two libraries?

Thanks & Regards,

Dan

Hello @dan2025

The refinitiv.data is the Data Library version 1. The lseg.data is the Data Library version 2 which is the latest version that provides latest features for developers.

I strongly you check this https://developers.lseg.com/en/article-catalog/article/essential-guide-to-the-data-libraries article to find more detail.
