Eikon API guidance summary data gets mixed up

df = ld.get_data(
        universe=['MSFT.O'],
        fields = ['TR.GuidanceDate',
                  'TR.GuidancePeriodYear',
                  'TR.GuidancePeriodMonth',
                  'TR.GuidanceLowValue',
                  'TR.GuidanceHighValue',
                  'TR.GuidanceUnitType',
                  'TR.GuidanceMeasure',
                  'TR.GuidanceSegmentName',
                  'TR.GuidanceDocType',
                  'TR.GuidanceSpeaker',
                  'TR.GuidanceAcctType',
                  'TR.GuidanceDataForm',
                  'TR.GuidanceText'],
        parameters = {
            'Period':'FQ1',
            'Frq':'FQ',
            'SDate':'2020-01-01',

The examples are available on GitHub.

Hello Jirapongse,

Thank you very much for your help.

Is the new data library relatively easy to learn?

I also had a few additional questions.

If I would like to get both quarterly and annual guidance (given every quarter), how should I modify the parameters?
How do I found out the data range available for each firm? For example, when does the earliest guidance data start for Microsoft?
If I would like to fully understand what fields are available for each parameter, which documentation should I take a look? Could you give me some resources that can help me understand the syntax?

I really appreciate your help.

Yes, it is easy to learn. There are a lot of examples available on GitHub.

The code can be changed to:

import lseg.data as ld
ld.open_session(app_key = 'APP_KEY')

df = ld.get_data(…)

You can use the Data Item Browser tool to list all available fields and parameters.
