How can I pull information via the EIKON API without the use of a monitor?

s.vermeer

Dear Sir/Madam,

Currently I am trying to pull data from Reuters via the EIKON API. In short my question is, how can I pull information (list of all current Dutch ISINs) via the EIKON API without creating a monitor that has all this information.

Thank you in advance.

@s.vermeer the only option that is available to you is to execute a screener query. For example, all companies that have HeadQuarters in Netherlands:

df, e = ek.get_data('SCREEN(U(IN(Equity(active,public,primary))), IN(TR.HQCountryCode, NL), CURN=USD)', 'TR.ISIN')

Dear Zhenya,

Thank you for your helpful response to my question. So far this worked for me.

I am currently trying to find a variable/column that displays the type of the instrument. The variable "Instrument Type Description" is the most complete when it comes to showing the instrument type. Unfortunately this "Instrument Type Description" is not unambiguously as it uses for example "Dutch State Loan" and "Bond" together, which are the same instrument. Are there perhaps other variables that show precisely what I want to know, without using synonyms?

Thank you in advance.

Try "TR.AssetCategory". If this doesn't give you what you're looking for, I suggest you contact Refinitiv Helpdesk. This forum is aimed at software developers using Refinitiv APIs.
