getting data from my stored portfolios - veeeery slow - what am i missing?

Hi there

I am calling up the content of the portfolios i created/maintain in PAL (WORKSPACE).

api call : rd.content.fundamental_and_reference.Definition(universe[thisPortfolioCall],fields = refinitivFieldsToGetLoc).get_data()

where:

thisPortfolioCall is a single portfolio like 'Portfolio(SMIconstituents)'

refinitivFieldsToGetLoc is data i need like

['TR.CompanyReportCurrency', 'TR.PriceClose.Currency', 'TR.PortfolioShares', 'TR.PriceClose(SDate=2023-09-18)', 'TR.PriceClose(SDate=2023-09-18, CURN=USD)', 'TR.PortfolioWeight', 'TR.CompanyMarketCap']

It works but it is veeeery slow, like 2 min for 28 portfolios with a total of about 350 assets in them all.

Normal?

Better way?

Cheers for pointers

Alfred

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Does it mean that the application called the get_data method 28 times (one for each portfolio)?

If yes, it takes around 5 seconds for each request.

Hi Jirapongse

Yes it does. All else ended up in 400 type errors before as I remember. This one still is temperamental and gets stuck at times for longer.

No comparison to how speedy time_series download.

Is there a better way to obtain portfolio content?

Btw. Is there a way to query all stored portfolios and watchlist under my user?

i.e. when I add one of them need to add the codes manually to my query.

Cheers

Alfred

@the.swiss

Spilting the query is a proper way to avoid the 400 type error (Error code 400 | Backend error. 400 Bad Request).

As I know, I don't think we can use the RD libary to create or update portfolios.
