Python API pull chain data for interest rates

Question

Question by ds9 · Oct 19, 2021 at 12:50 PM · eikon eikon-data-api python rest-api chain-ric

Hello,

Is it possible to pull the RICs for the EURAB6EIRS= instrument?

I have tried the method in this similar question but to no avail.

This does not work as intended.

df, err = ek.get_data(

instruments = ['EURAB6EIRS='],

fields = ['BID','ASK']

)

display(df)

I have tried also with 0# infront of the ticker, again no luck.

Thank you for your help!

Yes, EURAB6EIRS= is a chain but it may not be recognized by the Eikon Data API.

You can use the code mentioned in this thread to get RICs in that chain.

Then, use the below code to get data.

ricList = getUnderlying('EURAB6EIRS=')
df, err = ek.get_data(instruments = ricList,fields = ['BID','ASK'])
display(df)
