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.

Code example is better.

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
