Is it possible to retrieve news history with or without sentiment score since 1990 ?

Dear All,

Is there any possibility to retrieve news history since 1990 with or without sentiment score, ideally with Python API ? So far I've used Eikon Data API which allows for news data retrieval, however the news coverage is only last 15 months which is not enough.

Thanks in advance,

Łukasz

Hi @chavalit.jintamalit

Thanks for confirmation. Do you know if it is possible to retrieve news history data for the last 20 or 30 years using any other API ?
