I am trying to collect insiders ownerhsip and role as of 31 december of each year (2018-2022) for a list of RICS but cannot find any data. What is the proper way to download them?
Best regards,
Hi @ablock ,
This forum is more for programming-type queries, rather than content queries. I would recommend you to contact the Workspace support team directly via https://support.lseg.com/s/ . You can ask for the Workspace Excel formula which can be used to retrieve the data and if the formula is available, we can apply it to the get_data method in the Data Library. That way a content specialist can work closely with you to find a way to get the required data.
Hope this could help.
@ablock
You can use the Data Item Browser tool to search for fields and parameters.
Then use those fields and parameters with the get_data method of the LSEG Data Library for Python to retrieve data. For example:
df = ld.get_data( universe = ['LSEG.L'], fields = [ 'TR.RoleType', 'TR.InsiderFullName', ], parameters = {'SDate':'2018-01-01','EDate':'2022-12-31'} ) df
You can also refer to the examples on GitHub.
However, as mentioned by my colleague, this forum is dedicated to software developers using LSEG APIs. The moderators on this forum do not have deep expertise in every bit of content available through LSEG products, which is required to answer content questions such as this one.
The best resource for content questions is the Helpdesk support team, which can be reached by submitting queries through LSEG Support. The support team will either have the required content expertise ready available or can reach out to relevant content experts to get the answer for you.
You need to ask for the Excel formula, such as =RDP.Data, that can be used to retrieve the required data. Then, we can help you converting that formula to Python code.
