Hi,
I am trying to get data for firms but seems like ESG information only updates to 2018. I check on the app and also screener from Excel, data is updated to 2019 already. I need to retrieve this information for about 15000 firms so I want to know is there any way I can use python to get the latest data. Thank you so much.
I attached two pictures. First one is from Eikon API and second one is from Application
Hi @Ha.T.Nguyen
You can mouse over the "?" to see the field name.
Then you can use "CODECR" app to see the supporting parameters.
Here is the sample code:
rics = ['YAR.OL','IBM.N']
fields = ['TR.TRESGCScore.date','TR.TRESGCScore','TR.TRESGCScoreGrade','TR.TRESGScore','TR.TRESGScoreGrade'] #you can add more fields
parameters = {'Period':'FY0','Frq':'FY','SDate':'0','EDate':'-1'}
df,e = ek.get_data(rics, fields, parameters)
df
Please do not try to retrieve 15000 instruments in a single API call.
Thank you so much for this.
This does solve my problems. I am still confused because my old code only can get data from 2018 not 2019. I hope you can help me with this.
Thank you once again.
