is it possible to access FLOWS via API?

Hello, is it possible to access the daily
raw data on flows available on the "Global Fund Flows" app from the python api? More precisely, can we download the historical flows for some particular funds (of course for which the raw data is available) using python? Or is it possible only via exporting the excel file?

@francesco.meglioli, No, the fund flows data is not available in Eikon API. It is only available in the desktop app. (both Eikon and Refinitiv Workspace) and in LGDF (Lipper Global Data Feed).

@bob.lee Were there any updated on accessing flows via eikon api? Or maybe excel?

I am looking to pull monthly flows for EEM ETF into python.

Hi @ArseniyU , There is no plan I am aware of that putting fund's net flows data to Eikon API (Excel API) at current stage. The Eikon API (based on ADC) only have a small set of data from Lipper, and I do not see any enhancement plan for ADC related service for Lipper's contents many years.
