Downloading Non-Price Data #34

Open gs2440 opened 6 years ago

gs2440 commented 6 years ago

I am still new to Python (after years of Matlab) and learning an easy interface to download Bloomberg data. Came across this module and seem to be working great for Price Data.

Does anyone know, how can i use this module to get Non Price data. eg lets say Sector allocations of a fund e.g.

'HB_INDUSTRY_SECTOR_ALLOCATION' of EFA US EQUITY.

If it can not be done through TIA, whats my best bet? Thank you so much.

take a look at the https://github.com/bpsmith/tia/blob/master/examples/v3api.ipynb where you can see LocalTerminal.get_reference_data('EFA US EQUITY', 'HB_INDUSTRY_SECTOR_ALLOCATION', ignore_field_error=1)

this is not an issue, question like this should be ask on different website such has stackoverflow

Also worth looking a BLPInterface. A slightly clunkier wrapper than tia but also has some additional Bloomberg API features like get.bulkdata which, depending on the security, is how to get index weights.
