@mbraun.ese You can retrieve news for just transcripts which can give you the data and time of the release. Please try:

df = ek.get_news_headlines('Source:TRANS',count=100)
df

for all companies . You can see the company name in between the date and 'Earnings Call'- but if you wanted to focus on one company - say IBM:

df = ek.get_news_headlines('Source:TRANS AND R:IBM.N',count=100)
df

News History in Eikon goes back 15 months so if you wanted to get all transcripts for all companies you would need to iterate as the maximum number of headlines returned per is max 100. Remember you are only allowed 10,000 API calls per day. So be careful. Here I illustrate with 3 Days of all transcripts.

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
now = datetime.now()
maxenddate = now - timedelta(days=3) #upto months=15
print(now, maxenddate)

newsdf = pd.DataFrame()
startdf=now

while startdf >= maxenddate:
    try:
        df1 = ek.get_news_headlines(query ='Source:TRANS', date_to = startdf, count=100)
        startdf = df1['versionCreated'].min().replace(second=0,microsecond=0,tzinfo=None).strftime('%Y/%m/%d %H:%M')
        startdf = datetime.strptime(startdf,'%Y/%m/%d %H:%M')
        if len(df1):
            newsdf = pd.concat([newsdf, df1], axis=0)
        else:
            newsdf = df1
    except Exception:
        break

newsdf.info()

I hope this can help.

Many thanks @jason.ramchandani01. I can download the headlines and story id but then the story id does not lead me to the text of the transcript of the meeting but to what seems to be a webpage. When I try to open it, I get neither the transcript nor the file.

df = ek.get_news_headlines(query='Topic:FWP AND R:HCDI.O')

for idx, storyId in enumerate(df['storyId'].values): #for each row in our df dataframe

newsText = ek.get_news_story(storyId) #get the news story

df['newsText'] = newsText

@mbraun.ese So this works for me - for a transcript news item it gets the link and opens the transcript in a new browser window:

import re 
import webbrowser

text1 = ek.get_news_story('urn:newsml:reuters.com:20211110:nTRN1sXnWG:1')
webbrowser.open(re.findall(r'(https?://[^\s]+)', text1)[0])

From there you can download the file. Is this what you want?

How to find the presentations? Can anyone help!
