Question by FRZH · Jul 18, 2019 at 11:26 AM · pythondatastream-apidsws-apitime-series

Time-series requests Datastream Web Service

Good evening

When downloading time-series data for multiple instruments using Datastream Web Serive in Python I get column names which contain the ticker (in this case ISIN) and field name (in this case P).

Whould it be possible to define similar to the the Datastream Add-in in Excel what the column header should be?

Thanks for your help.

ISIN is not a time series datatype. If you perform this within a snapshot request you can use the datatype ISIN

Please feel free to email directly james.bright@refinitiv if you would like to set up a call to discuss this in more detail.


Best regards

James

Hi,

You can apply headers within Python. There are some examples here

Hi James,

Please find attached the output of the following request:

ds.get_data(tickers=['@AAPL','@FB'], fields=['DY'], start='-1Y', end='-0D', freq='D')

As you can see the header contains the ticker and the field name (

time-series-request.jpg). Is there any possiblity to specify what kind of header type I want (e.g., just the ISIN)?

Best regards,

Florian

You can use the ISIN within your request to have this within the title.
