HI,
The Eikon API seems to be interpreting 'Apple" as the Apple RIC, 'AAPL.O", and seems returning me any news headline that has that RIC associated with it. If I write 'Apple' (without the quotes) in an Eikon news search box, it does the same. It changes "Apple" to the RIC 'AAPL.O. I seem to be getting the same result with 'Trump", which I believe Eikon is interpreting as the topic code POTUS.
Could you show me how I might tweak the line below to return ONLY stories with the exact string "Apple" appearing in the headline, regardless of whether the story has the RIC AAPL.O associated with it? I only want stories with "Apple" in the headline.
df = ek.get_news_headlines('Language:LEN AND NS:RTRS AND Apple', date_from = "2019-11-13", count=100)
Thank you!
To search for news headlines containing the exact text, enclose the text in quotes. E.g. in Eikon News Monitor app you can use
Language:LEN AND Source:RTRS AND "APPLE"
To use this search expression in Eikon Data APIs library for Python you need to escape the quotes:
ek.get_news_headlines(r"Language:LEN AND Source:RTRS AND \"APPLE\"", date_from = "2019-11-13", count=100)
