Hi,

In TRKD Interim XML,I'm getting both Semi-Annual and Quarterly data. I'm trying to download same via EiKon API. Is any way we can get ?

Hi @kamal.Jayapalan You can download both Semi-Annual and Quarterly I believe - Please see the screenshot for a fundamental field such as TR.Revenue in Data Item Brower app (just type DIB into Eikon search bar). Here you can see all the frequency parameter options:

You will need to do this in 2 API calls I think one for Semi-Annual and one for Quarterly. Or just do a quarterly call and roll up for two quarters to make a semi annual (or 6 monthly). There are also different methodology parameters on how to do this so have a look at those too. Here are two calls to get first the semi-annual data, and then quarterly - you can add more fields as required.

df3,e = ek.get_data('VOD.L',['TR.Revenue(SDate=0,EDate=-9,Period=FS0,Frq=FS).date,'TR.Revenue(SDate=0,EDate=-9,Period=FS0,Frq=FS)'])

df3

df3,e = ek.get_data('VOD.L',['TR.Revenue(SDate=0,EDate=-9,Period=FS0,Frq=FQ).date,'TR.Revenue(SDate=0,EDate=-9,Period=FS0,Frq=FQ)'])

df3

I hope this can help.
