Hi @danieluphromes ,
Yes, to get the constituent list in the past, you can put
- the date in format 'mmyy' after the symbol
- then follow them with '|L' to get the list of constituents
For example, to get the list of S&P 500 constituents on Jan 2021, tickers = 'LS&PCOMP0121|L' can be used.
here's the Python code
import DatastreamDSWS as DSWS
# set datastream username and password
ds = DSWS.Datastream(username = '# DSWS USERNAME #', password = '# DSWS PASSWORD #')
# call Datastream to get a list of RICs
dat = ds.get_data(tickers='LS&PCOMP0121|L', fields=['RIC'], kind=0)
print(dat)and here's an example, in case you would like to get the historical data of multiple months
# crate list of months and years to fetch a list of RICs on each month
mmyy_list = ['0100','0200','0300','0521']
# call Datastream to get RICs list
rics_list = {}
for mmyy in mmyy_list:
dat = ds.get_data(tickers=f'LS&PCOMP{mmyy}|L', fields=['RIC'], kind=0)
# save rics list in python dict
rics_list[mmyy] = dat['Value'].tolist()Hope this could help.
