There was an error rendering this rich post.

I am using the python api to retrieve historical data of Economic Events using the get_history() method but i cant find the fields which it will take to retrieve different columns such as Prior , Actual , Revised etc..

Any reference material will be very helpful.

Hi @Gurpreet

Thank you for checking. I understand, but none of the Specialists are API experts and we have similar cases in the past where the Developers have helped out. Could you please advice?

If you don't specify the fields parameter, it will return all supported historical real-time fields.

df1 = ld.get_history(universe=["JPCOFF=ECI"])
df1

I assume that for this RIC, these values are Actual.

You need to contact the content support team via MyAccount to verify if we have historical data for other fields.

Hello,

It would be great if the other event fields (expected, prior and revised ) were also added in the API. Could you please confirm?

The API can retrieve data from the server or endpoint.

If the server don't have data, the API can't retrieve it.
