How to pull Euro denominated data for multiple firms?

blucap opened this issue · comments

Just wondering how to obtain Euro denominated data when I want to retrieve data drom multiple firms and for multiple items, e.g. for example for the request below:

res = DWE.fetch(['@AAPL','U:MMM'], fields=['P','MV','VO','PH'], date_from='2000-05-03')
print res['MV'].unstack(level=0)

I tried to shoe in ~~EUR , but to no avail ...

Hello Martien,

I would suggest to contact TR service desk and ask how the request should look like in this case - and then I could have a look how to do this via fetch in the pydatastream.

Best

Hello Martien, were there any response from TR?

Is there any solution for this issue?

I suspect that not, and possibly will not be - it looks like Thomson Reuters is moving to the new REST API anyway...

As it was mentioned by Andrew Han in #17 (comment):

I just got off the phone with some of their support folk. They said that they are phasing out access to Datastream via DataWorks Enterprise, and that we should use Datastream Web Services (DSWS) now.
