Eikon Python API - excel 'GRLS' function for annualized growth rate for share
Hi,
is there a way to retrieve the value for the excel api's GRLS function for a time span?
Many thanks,
Steffen

I assume you're asking about the equivalent to the following Excel formula that uses Datastream add-in
=DSGRID("U:TRI","GRLS#(X,2Y)","Latest Value")If this is what you're looking to replicate in Python, then you need to use
Datastream Web Service API.
Here's an example Python code that implements the equivalent to the above request
import PyDSWS
import datetime as dt ds = PyDSWS.Datastream('your Datastream Child ID', 'your Datastream password') ds.get_data('U:TRI', ['GRLS#(X,2Y)'], date=dt.date.today())
Thanks Alex.
When trying to connect to DSWS, I get the following error when executing line "ds = PyDSWS("....
ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='product.datastream.com', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url:
/DSWSClient/V1/DSService.svc/rest/Token?username=***&password=***

I think it's likely due to your Internet proxy. Try explicitly specifying the proxy as suggested on this thread discussing similar issue.
works. Thanks, Alex
