Hi,
I am looking to retrieve option chain quotes for delayed underlyings via API. I am able to retrieve option chain quotes via API for all "live" underlyings, however for the delayed ones I am unable to.
E.g. for /MOWI.OL, /.FTMIB, /VAR1.DE
How can I implement the option chains quotes (delayed) into my code?
Thanks for any support!
Rgds,
Frank

Hi ff
Please try this code:
df,e = ek.get_data("0#MOWI*.OL",["DSPLY_NAME"])
RICList = df["Instrument"].tolist()
df2,e = ek.get_data(RICList,["DSPLY_NAME","TR.BIDPRICE","TR.ASKPRICE"])
df2
Here is the sample output:
I do not have access permission to 0#VAR1*.EX so I could not test it.
Hi ff
I make a separate API call to get data from IBM.N and /IBM.N and I can get the data according to their timeliness.
But if I combined them in the same API call, I can only get the realtime data.
So please separate them in different API calls.
I cannot use the provided RICs for demonstration because the delayed data and realtime data are the same at this moment. So I use IBM.N instead.
Hi
thank you very much for the prompt reply.
To be more preceise, I am looking to retrieve option chain quotes. For some underlyings it works for others it doesnt.
For e.g.
MOWI my code --> df, err = ek.get_data('0#MOWI*.OL', ['DSPLY_NAME', 'BID', 'ASK']) does not work.
or for Varta AF --> df, err = ek.get_data('0#VAR1*.EX', ['DSPLY_NAME', 'BID', 'ASK'])
Bascially, I need the option chain quote info which I can access (pls see e.g. screenshot) to retrieve via API.
Or can I retrieve that info delayed / end of day?
Thanks again for your support!
Frank
