Hi @mjg, For sample code, please do not hesitate to refer to documentation for EDAPI (Eikon Data API) and/or the RD Lib. for Python. With respec to EAPI, I would suggest going straing to the tutorials. With respect to the RD Lib., I would suggest going straight to the examples folder on GitHub (refered to in the Quickstart page) that you can also find on CodeBook.

I would also suggest using the new Eikon Python library, the RD Library for Python, with which you can collect data; an example with historical data would include:


rd.get_history(
    universe='LSEG.L',
    fields=["BID", "ASK", "TR.Revenue"],
    interval="1Y",
    start="2015-01-01",
    end="2019-10-01")

To know what fields can be used in such a function, please refer to the DIB.

If your request pertains to the universe or the fields of choice, outside of the DIB and/or Search, please reach out to us on my.refinitiv.com.

Hi @mjg,

It is not possible to retrieve field information on the Data Item Browser when a RIC is unknown.

If your request pertains to the universe or the fields of choice, outside of the DIB and/or Search, as is the case here, we suggest reaching out to my.refinitiv.com. In line with this, I created ticket 13160237 for you on my.refinitiv.com. The helpdesk there will be in touch with you to help you in finding the content you are after.
