I know we can query the M&A database, but wondering if we can do the same for Equity deals via RDP in codebook - specifically for SPAC IPOs. Using the deals screener in Workspace we would pull in a flag for "blank check or spac involvement" and set it to true. Can this be done via RDP as well?

Hi team, is there currently a way to search for SPAC deals using the RDP API?

Screener expression produced by Deals Screener can be used as the first argument in the get_data method of Eikon Data APIs. The example below returns SPAC IPOs with UK as the target market and issue date YTD.
screen_exp = ('SCREEN(U(IN(DEALS)),TR.NIisECM=True,'
'TR.NIIsBlankCheckCompany==true,IN(TR.NITargetMarket,"UK"),'
'relativedate(TR.NIIssueDate,YTD), CURN=USD)')
df, err = ek.get_data(screen_exp,
['TR.NIDealID','TR.NIIssueDate','TR.NIIssuer',
'TR.NIIssuerPermId','TR.NIIssueType(Concat="|")',
'TR.NITransactionStatus','TR.NIIssuerNation',
'TR.NIOfferPrice',
'TR.NIProceedsAmtInclOverallotSoldAllMkts(Scale=6)',
'TR.NISecurityTypeAllMkt',
'TR.NIOfferingTechnique(Concat="|")'])
Thanks Alex! Would something similar be possible via RDP / do we have any documentation around querying our deals database via RDP?
