Question by c191103x · Feb 25, 2020 at 08:04 AM · apipythonapi python

Downloading fields/instruments available with the python SDK

Where can I find the list of instruments and fields that I can specify in the instruments/fields parameter on `ek.get_data` function available in the Python SDK?

I'm trying to download financial statements of public companies.

According to the tutorial, it seems to be necessary to explicitly specify the fields and and the name of the corporations to download the data. However, I haven't been able to find a document that tells where I get to find the fields/corporations(or instruments) that I are available on Eikon.


For corporations, I'm trying to download companies that are listed on exchanges of foreign country whose language that I don't understand in addition to ones that are on NASDAQ, thus, I can't manually go through websites of each exchanges.


Thanks in advance.

Hi @c191103x

Please read this document which explains how to find fields using Excel lookup or Data Item Browser.

Hi @c191103x

For the companies that are listed on exchanges of foreign countries.

I think you can use the SCREENER app to find out what are these companies.

Then you can do the same using Eikon Data API(Python)

Please see this article, https://developers.refinitiv.com/article/find-your-right-companies-screener-eikon-data-apispython
