I want to extract the historical data for past 20 years through the following code, but still got only 1 row (with recent data). What would be the right way to do so?
import eikon as ek
instrument = 'USAW=ECIX'
parameters = {'SDate': '-20Y', 'EDate': '0Y', 'Frq': 'Y', 'Points': 20}
df, err = ek.get_data(instrument, ['ECON_ACT', 'CTBTR_1'], parameters)
print(df)
Hi @chirag.arora ,
I would suggest updating to the new library. Does this work?
import refinitiv.data as rd
rd.open_session()
rd.get_history(
universe=['USAW=ECIX'],
start='2004-01-01')
Thanks a lot, but how can I get the data for particular Data Items?
@jonathan.legrand , I want the data for the data for following Data Item Codes:
['ECON_ACT','CTBTR_1']
For information on how to field the fields you're after, I would suggest reading this article which refers to the DIB.
Thanks @jonathan.legrand. Also, is there any method through which I can get the list of all the fields for which the data can be extracted for a particular instrument?
Yes, you can find such a list on the DIB, for which you can find training here.
