...field?

Hi,

I'm have a script to download a few ticker with a field. However, not all the tickes have the same start date as some start earlier than others. Is there a way to request for the earliest until the specified end_date using the get_data() or any other api call? I'm using PyDSWS.


Thanks.

    Hi, Unfortunately there isn't away in which the system could determine the earliest history from a list of tickers. The datatype BDATE would need to be run on your list initially to ascertain the start date.
