API content vs Excel Add-in content

joao.goncalves · February 24

Hi all, is there a difference between the content sets I have available through the API vs the Excel add-on? For example, if I am extracting from the below datasets, should I expect similar results?

FX rates;
Interest rate curves;
Macro indicators (inflation, GDP, policy rates, public debt-to GDP, budget balance, etc.);
Equity and FI indices.

Thank you

Hi @joao.goncalves ,

The result between API and Excel add-on should be similar.

=@TR Excel formular is the same function as get_data in Eikon Data API

=@RDP.Data Excel formular is the same function as get_data in the Data Libraries

However, I'd recommend you to use https://developers.lseg.com/en/api-catalog/lseg-data-platform/lseg-data-library-for-python instead of Eikon Data API because it's newer library and the new functions will be added to it only (Eikon Data APi is considered feature complete)
