Hi @florian.ruemmelein,

In the Python API, you can use the portfolio name directly in the get_data call like this - 

ek.get_data(["Portfolio('portfolio_name')"], fields)


Please see Section 11 - Portfolios and Lists in this document for more details.

Thanks @Gurpreet .

Is there also the possibility to edit my portfolio (e.g. uploading new holdings)?

The API can't edit the portfolio.
