Hi,
I am trying to pull the display name of expired contract (attached screen shot).
This can be done easily for active contracts using the following code
eikon.get_data([ticker],['DSPLY_NAME'])
But this doen's work for expired contract as there is no quote for an expired contract the request returns the following error
Is there any way to pull the data?
Thanks!
@matthew.holland Please try:
eikon.get_data([ticker],['TR.InstrumentDescription'])
You can check what fields are available for any instrument (even expired RICs) using the Data Item Browser app (type DIB into eikon search bar). I hope this can help.
