In Python, is it possible to set the parameters of the get_data function in such a way that it pulls the largest shareholders at each end of quarter for a number of years, say 2005-2010? I have only managed to do this with loops for now, each time setting a different SDate.
Thank you!
Hello @dpi.eco,
It may be helpful to share the complete request that you currently issue with loop, as a starting point?
for i in range(1995, 2020):
for z in range(1, 5):
ek_data, err=ek.get_data(ISIN_list,fields,{"SDate": str(z)+"QCY"+str(i),"EndNum":"40", "CURN": "DKK"})
ek_data["y"]=i
ek_data["q"]=z
df_list.append(ek_data)
Thank you for your answers. Please find the code I currently use above. It puts every period in a separate dataframe and then appends the dataframe to a list.
I don't believe there's a way to request the list of company shareholders for a range of dates. As far as I can see the only way to construct what you're looking for is to retrieve the list of shareholders in a loop for one date at a time, as you're doing now.
