Client (university professor) having Restriction on Data Extraction via Python API

Shailesh_Devadiga

I am a user of LSEG/Refinitiv Workspace. Within the Screener application, when I run a search using the criteria “Universe: Public Companies, Country of Exchange: Turkey,” I can access data for 590 companies in your database.Through the Add Column option in the Screener application, I am able to seamlessly export the desired data for these 590 companies into Excel directly from the Workspace interface.However, when I attempt to retrieve the same dataset using Python, I encounter a limitation. The system restricts me to downloading data for only a limited number of companies per day (e.g., 100 companies).While there appears to be no restriction when exporting from the Workspace screen, such a limitation exists when using Python. Could you kindly clarify the reason for this restriction and advise on possible solutions or alternative approaches to access the complete dataset via Python?

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I tested it with the LSEG Data Library for Python. The code is:

screener_expression = 'SCREEN(U(IN(Equity(active,public,primary))), IN(TR.ExchangeCountryCode,"TR"), CURN=USD)'

fields = [
    'TR.CommonName',
    'TR.ExchangeCountry'
]
df = ld.get_data(screener_expression, fields)

df

It can return 590 rows properly.

The sample is available on GitHub. You can refer to the following article:

Please share the code that the client is using.
