Case 15264025
How do you pull financial statement, balance sheet data for individual companies, i.e. stocks. So, if I pick a random company like Google.
How do you pull data for their balance sheet, I want to be able to pull the balance sheet data, in python

Just need an example, so I can pull the entire balance sheet and financial statements (entire balance sheet and the financial statements)

Please advise the user to start from the LSEG Data Library for Python. The library will allow user to extract the individual balance sheet and financial statement data points. The user will have to use the Data Item Browser in LSEG Workspace to research which financial data field is useful for their purpose.

There are couple of articles which might be relevant to this. Ask them to look at the articles index.

Here is a previous discussion which shows some of this information -

https://community.developers.refinitiv.com/discussion/132026/i-need-to-retrieve-the-financial-period-end-dates-from-the-income-statement-using-python

and another one use the Data Platform -

And finally a sample Python notebook showing the company tear sheet information. The notebook uses the legacy Eikon Data API, but the fields used will be applicable to the LD Library as well.
