can you pull data similar to TR functions? #10

does pyrfa allow for similar data retrieval as one would do with the TR functions through excel?

In short, yes it can. You would need know the data feed server IP address and username. PyRFA also allows retrieving data in other ways that Excel cannot do such as level-2 data (order book) and timeseries.

hi wiwat, thanks for the answer. to be more specific, I have provided some examples of TR function used in Excel:

TR("2628.HK","TR.EventStartDate.date","EventType=RES")) TR.DivExDate(SDate=-3M EDate=1AY DateType=PD) TR.DivUnadjustedNet(SDate=-3M EDate=1AY DateType=PD)

Could you please comment if it is possible or not to request such dividend data through your library?

Thanks!

Hi, I am not sure if it can get that dividend data really. It looks like it's timeseries data which I think PyRFA will not be able to retrieve those.
