I would like to get various events such as:
conferences, presentations, road shows, annual meetings
from Eikon using the C# API but I am having a hard time finding fields which represent these. Doing a basic query for events doesn't seem to return such events. So my two questions are:
1) Does Eikon provide such events?
2) If so, what are the fields I should use?
Thanks.
@jiah in C#:
var args = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "SDate", "2015-01-01" },
{ "EDate", "2023-02-27" },
{ "EventType", "ALL" }
};
List<string> RICs = new List<string> {"VOD.L" };
var df = eikon.GetData(
RICs,
new List<string>
{
"TR.EventStartDate",
"TR.EventType",
"TR.EventTitle"
},
args);
df
I hope this can help.
@jiah Thanks for your question - so which C# API are you using? Is it the Eikon 4 Desktop Data API?
So until you get back to me I will show you the content in Python - you can then try the same field names and parameters in C#:
events_df = rd.get_data('VOD.L',['TR.EventStartDate','TR.EventType','TR.EventTitle'],{'SDate':'2015-01-01', 'EDate':'2023-02-27', 'EventType':'ALL'})
events_df
events_df['Company Event Type'].unique()
<StringArray>
[ 'EarningsReleases',
'ExDividends',
'CorporateAnalystMeetings',
'ShareholderAndAnnualMeetings',
'ConferencePresentations',
'MergerAndAcquisitionCallsAndPresentations',
'CorporateCallsAndPresentations',
'CompanyVisits',
'SalesAndTradingStatementReleases',
'EarningsCallsAndPresentations']
Length: 10, dtype: string
So these are some of the events types - a full list of event types can be seen in the Data Item Browser tool (type DIB into Eikon Search bar):
Ok I will wait for you to get back to me - I hope this can be of help.
Ok, I think this covers it. You can close this ticket. Thank you.
