The APIWrapper
class is used to make requests to the CNBC API.
Note: A majority of the CNBC API endpoints require parameters. These must be set by an additional instruction.
from cnbc import APIWrapper, Endpoints
api_wrapper = APIWrapper(
api_key='YOUR_API_KEY',
endpoint=Endpoints.TRANSLATE
)
# The APIWrapper class will supply the required parameters for the configured CNBC API endpoint.
api_wrapper_params = api_wrapper.params
api_wrapper_params['symbol'] = 'AAPL'
# The APIWrapper class will make a request to the CNBC API and return the response in JSON.
json_response = api_wrapper.request()
# The APIWrapper class can be repurposed to make multiple requests to the CNBC API.
api_wrapper.endpoint = Endpoints.GET_SUMMARY
api_wrapper_params = api_wrapper.params
api_wrapper_params['issueIds'] = json_response['issueId']
json_response = api_wrapper.request()
A majority of the CNBC API endpoints require an issueId
or issueIds
parameter. The translate endpoint is used to convert a symbol to an issueId
.
Note: The APIWrapper
class contains a translation table which can be loaded and saved to a file to reduce the number of requests to the CNBC API.
