Interaction between API python and Eikon app

Hi everyone,

I am quite new with the api and I am trying to do a responsive table which displays news :

For that I fill a panda dataframe with the result of get_news_headlines()

df_news = pd.DataFrame(
ek.get_news_headlines(
ric_value, date_from=start_date,
date_to=end_date,
count=100))

Then I would like to display the content of the dataframe into an html table (no problem with that) but then I would like that when user clicks on the news in the table thus EIKON opens the corresponding news page in Eikon (if the user is connected of course).

Do U know if it is possible?

thank you for your help,

regards,

Iris

    It is possible. You need to construct the link for each story using the following syntax:

    'reuters://realtime/verb=NewsStory/ric=' + storyID.split(':')[4]

    where storyID is the string returned into storyId column by get_news_headlines method.

    E.g. reuters://realtime/verb=NewsStory/ric=nNRA4ljo86

    However I'm curious what might be the point of this exercise as the News Monitor app in Eikon already provides the capability to retrieve news headlines and stories?
