How to get Economic Calendar from Eikon Data API

I try to use Eikon Data API to get Economic Calendar, such as:

20:30 2019/11/01 USD Change in Non-farm Payrolls (OCT)

20:30 2019/11/01 USD Unemployment Rate (OCT)

Does anyone know how to do it? thanks.

Hi @ludi

You can still do it using RICs available on a page <ECONOMY>. For US it will be a chain RIC <0#ECONALLUS>

df,err = ek.get_data('0#ECONALLUS',['DSPLY_NAME','GN_TXT16_3','GN_TXT16_4','OFFC_CODE2'])
df.rename(columns={'DSPLY_NAME':'Indicator', 'GN_TXT16_3':'GMT Date','GN_TXT16_4':'Actual','OFFC_CODE2':'Reuters Poll'}, inplace=True)
df

@laurens So yes economic chains appear to have been removed so the replacement workflow is RDP Search API. Please see the following:

df = rdp.search(
    view = rdp.SearchViews.IndicatorQuotes,
    query = "United States",
    filter = "startswith(RIC,'US')",   #endswith(RIC,'ECI'),
    top = 10000
)

df

This returns 814 instruments, some which don't have realtime suffixes (=ECI). I downloaded a list of rics from the economic monitor app (EM) and all the unique RICs that were downloaded were present in the RICs returned by the search API. So I think this is the way (perhaps filtering the list to those RICs ending with ECI) . Happy to hear your feedback or thoughts. I hope this can help.
