Thank you. You may close this ticket.

For anyone who is interested in the C# version of this, the code is:

var fieldsResponse = await MetaData.Definition().View(Search.View.DealsMergersAndAcquisitions).GetDataAsync();

Hi @jiah ,

Thank you for your question. I would suggest using Search Capabilities of RD Library. I have build an M&A search using Search capabilities in this article. Although it uses Python you can easily modify it for C#. Posting the code with RD Lib for Python here:

MnA = rd.discovery.search(
    view = rd.discovery.Views.DEALS_MERGERS_AND_ACQUISITIONS,

    #specify filtering properties
    filter = "((AcquirerCompanyName ne 'Creditors' and AcquirerCompanyName ne 'Shareholder') and (TargetCountry eq 'US' or TargetCountry eq 'UK')"
    + "and TransactionValueIncludingNetDebtOfTarget ge 100 and TargetPublicStatus eq 'Public')"
    + "and (TransactionStatus eq 'Completed' or TransactionStatus eq 'Pending' or TransactionStatus eq 'Withdrawn')"
    + "and (FormOfTransactionName xeq 'Merger' or FormOfTransactionName xeq 'Acquisition') and (TransactionAnnouncementDate le 2022-04-14 and TransactionAnnouncementDate ge 2022-01-01)",
    
    #select only the required fields and order them based on announcement date
    #then specify number of items to be 10000, default value is 100
    select = 'TransactionAnnouncementDate, TargetCompanyName, TargetRIC',
    order_by = 'TransactionAnnouncementDate desc',
    top = 10000)

MnA.head()

Hope this will be helpful.

Best regards,

This is working well. One final point/question: Where can I find a full list of supported fields for such a query? I may need to add a few more to my query.

Thanks.

Hi @jiah ,

The code below can be used.

import refinitiv.data as rd
from refinitiv.data.content import search

rd.open_session()

response = search.metadata.Definition(
    view = search.Views.DEALS_MERGERS_AND_ACQUISITIONS
).get_data()

response.data.df

Here's the result
