I would like to retrieve the following (historical) information while using the
ek.get_data()
function: ISIN, MSNR,MSNP, MSPI, NR, PI, NT
for some equity indices, take ".STOXX" as an example. How do I do that? I want to specify I am using the get data function instead of the timeseries function because I need daily data and I would not respect the 3k rows limit in get.timeseries.
In general: how do I get to know the right names for the fields that I have to use inside the
ek.get_data()
function? I tried with both the codes that the Excel Eikon program uses and also the names used in the Eikon browser but they differ quite a lot from the example I saw in some sample code on the web (eg. TR.TotalReturnYTD vs TR.PCTCHG_YTD. How do I get to understand what would be the right name for the data types I need?
