Questions regarding the data retrieval from the LSEG Data Platform via the Python-API

a)How can I retrieve historical consensus forecasts of the same forecast horizon, e.g. all FY1 forecasts for Apple Inc. from 2010 till 2025?

b)How can I extent this data-retrieval request to multiple companies and forecast horizons at once?

c)How can I retrieve IBES forecast at the analyst level instead of the consensus level?
