Support Eikon reverse proxy app data (e.g. Global Fund Flows app) in this API?

My understanding is currently this Eikon Data API does not able to access contents from reverse-proxy Eikon apps. E.g. the fund net flows data in Eikon's Global Fund Flows app. Is there a plan for that in the future? Or it is actually supported already?

Hi Wan Po - yes you are correct - if the data is hosted in a different server/source then it wont be accessible through this API. We can post this enhancement request to the Lipper team.

Hi Wan Po - not sure what you mean by reverse proxy app data; the majority of the data that is currently displayed in our apps is available through the Eikon Data API - regardless of them going through reverse proxy.

Which data in specific from FLOWS are you trying to retrieve?

Hi Jorge,

If you type "flows" in the Eikon search box, you shall see an App called "Global Fund Flows". This is a reverse-proxy app that the contents and funcationalities are hosted in a separate server maintained by Lipper technical team. I do not seem to able to find these data via Data Item Browser.

Any data shown in the home page of this app can be a good example to test. Such as the Flows in US$B for Top 5 Classification (latest weekly data).

Even better, if I can access a report that configured by user using this app. (in the Reports tab) via this API, that will be fantastic.

Hi Jorge,

Not sure why my previous feedback was not show up. I try again: For example, the latest net flows for different periods (daily, monthly, yearly) for each region at the left panel in the Home page. You can just type "flows" to open the app. in Eikon and its Home page will be shown. I do not find a way to access these data. Thus I assume the API is not for reverse-proxy app.
