I am reaching out to ask how I can download the following data for multiple companies (approximately 60,000) over a period of 20 years in an automated way using the Codebook.

I want to download information on Institutional Ownership. More specifically the information marked in yellow in the screenshot bellow. Could you please let me know how I can download this data?

Usually, I use the codebook to download archival financial statement data (using the IDs from the Data Item Browser) and loop through the financial years to achieve an automated download.

Thank you in advance!

    @RyanE Please can you post the screenshot of the fields you require. Then we can help. Thanks.

    With a list of 60K RICs you would need to chunk these and make iterative API calls depending on how many fields you want. In terms of limits we are looking at 10K datapoints (datapoint = 1x Ric,Field combination) per API call. You can find out more details about API Limits here.

    Please post the fields and I will add some python code here. thanks
