Return Metadata With Python Eikon API

caseyjconger

Is it possible to return the metadata for each data entry when making API calls. What I mean by metadata is when you go to the Eikon website you can see the date the data point was updated. Is there anyway to also return this with the API call?

Edit: For clarity, suppose I want to see when the last time the updated their number of women managers (TR.WomenManagers). For Apple it says the date it was uploaded was 09/30/2017 and some other useful metadata like units, etc. Anyway to get this metadata?

You can do this by adding TR.WomenManagers.date to the list of fields you request. To find out what output options are available for a given field use Parameters & Quick Functions tab in Formula Builder wizard in Eikon Excel or Parameters tab in Data Item Browser app in Eikon.
