What is a "universe" in the rdp.steamingPrices API for news headlines

The universe parameter in the rdp.StreamingPrices() refers to the list of instruments or RICs that provide real-time, streaming updates. In your case, you are specifying a streaming news headline RIC ('NFCP_UBMS') which will return headlines and some other metadata fields.

If you simply want to use the 'NFCP_UBMS' streaming RIC to retrieve streaming headlines, try this:

sp = rdp.StreamingPrices(universe = ['NFCP_UBMS'], 
           on_update = lambda streaming_price, instrument_name, fields : 
               print(f'Headline => {fields["HEADLINE1"]}'))

Hi @bregarious,

If you simply want to use the 'NFCP_UBMS' streaming RIC to retrieve streaming headlines, try this:

sp = rdp.StreamingPrices(universe = ['NFCP_UBMS'], 
           on_update = lambda streaming_price, instrument_name, fields : 
               print(f'Headline => {fields["HEADLINE1"]}'))

Hi,

Thank you for the answer. Is there any documentation on what values can be populated with the universe? And what data those values will provide?
