Not able to get EPS1MN for a list of stocks.

Hemant

I am using the following formula :
df = ds.get_data(tickers=["IBM.N","MSFT.O","GOOG.O"'],
fields = ["EPS1MN"],
kind=1,
freq='M',
start="-4M")

The above isnt working for me. Could u please point out the exact issues?
Also What does kind specify?
I have in total 3000 stocks for which I want to pull this data.

Thank you for reaching out to us.

The tickers requires a comma separated string. Those items are RICs. Each RIC must be enclosed with angle brackets. Therefore, the code should look like this:

df = ds.get_data(
    tickers="<IBM.N>,<MSFT.O>,<GOOG.O>",
    fields = ["EPS1MN"],
    kind=1, 
    freq='M',
    start="-4M")
df

Thanks @Jirapongse .
It worked, What does kind mean?
Also is there an option of transpose here?

kind = 0 is a snapshot while kind = 1 is timeseries.

There is no option for transpose so you can transpose by using the pandas library.
