Python API - is there an equivalent to Excel API RtGet() ?

To add to the response from @iain.scott, in the meantime, if it's in your technology stack, you may want to look at existing Eikon COM or .NET APIs, both of which provide streaming market data retrieval capabilities. It's even possible to use Eikon COM API for streaming market data retrieval in Python, albeit not very elegant.

Here's an example. Make sure to use 32-bit Python, as Eikon COM libraries are 32-bit.

This is very important functionality for us and is currently a significant limitation as compared to the COM or .NET APIs so I'm glad that it's on the radar to bring the Python API up to feature parity.

Unfortunately the 32bit limitation really is a killer for us using the COM libraries so I'm hoping this functionality makes it into the Python API shortly...

Hello, I've also been researching the question of getting streaming prices via the Python API (64bit), and it would be very useful for us. I would be grateful if you could include it soon as it doesn't seem that it made it into the Jan18 release. Thanks.

Yes, this is the one. Since we're on this old thread that started back in 2017, it's worth noting that Eikon Data APIs Python library now supports retrieval of streaming market data. Please refer to "Streaming API - How to retrieve real-time streaming prices" tutorial for details.
