Package to request historical traded volume using Python API

jay01

I want to request the historical traded volumes of a large portfolio of stock symbols but ek.get_data and ek.get_timeseries only return the traded volume of a stock over a specific exchange. Is there a package I can call that returns the overall traded volume of a stock?

I assume your question relates to US stocks, right? For the US stocks there are venue specific RICs like IBM.N, IBM.P, IBM.BAT, AAPL.OQ etc., which only capture trades executed on a specific trading venue. And there are composite RICs like IBM, AAPL.O etc., which capture trades executed on any US venue.
If this is not the answer you were looking for, could you please elaborate and clarify your question?
