May I know what are the different APIs we can use to request for prices? Could we specify a particular exchange to request prices from?
@angelalock Thanks for your question -for real-time streaming prices its best to use the RD Library open_pricing_stream function which uses the Refinitiv Data Platform - you can use these with a desktop session. For snapshot pricing you can use the get_data function. For historical pricing ie timeseries - you can use the get_history function which also uses the Refinitiv Data Platform - again you can use these with a desktop session.
If you launch the CODEBK app in Eikon you can see examples of both these API calls. See image below:
when requesting prices from a particular exchange you do this with RIC selection. So for example to get a snapshot of Vodafone in Johannesburg and London you can request:
rd.get_data(['VODJ.J', 'VOD.L'])
I hope this can help.
Hi @angelalock
You can also use the RIC Search tool on the Developer Portal to help you identify the correct code.
