Migration from Eikon to WebSockets API

Hi we have a spreadsheet setup using Eikon and I've been tasked with moving this over to the Websocket API. Can I check if the fields are equivalent? eg: BID.Close , .Close, NDA_RAW.Nda_Mid, etc

They don't seem to be available in ws.

thanks

Tom

    Hi @TomWilde

    Websocket API is used for streaming real-time data from exchanges/providers.

    Eikon can access many other data sources as part of its get_data calls etc.

    So, whilst I can see things like BID, ASK, Close etc in a Websocket response, I don't ever recall seeing NDA RAW or NDA MId files.

    Can you provide a few example RICs that you currently receive NDA?

    If you wish to move a spreadsheet away from using Eikon, you may need to employ a combination of Websocket API and the RDP APIs. The RDP APIs can access much of the same non-realtime content that Eikon can.
