Hi.
I want to ask you something about field values and parameters.

Is there a field value related to the initial notification price of the exchange rate?
Currently, we're using won, dollar exchange rates, and using KRWFIX=KFTC to use the closing price of the previous day

Could you tell me, if there's a field value related to the initial test price.

Of course, the closing price of the previous day and the first test price are almost the same.
But for now, I want you to know if there are any parameters related to the initial exchange rate.

    Hi @jwlee08 ,

    The support team has provided the answer in the ticket mentioned below

    upon checking and as you can see from the screenshot below, this RIC is updated twice per day, 06:03KST and 15:40 KST for each business day.

    holding the cursor on the field then its name will be shown

    from that, below is the code to retrieve this data. However, as the data can be changed during the time, you need to check the value of the Latest price in the field PRIMACT_n based on date VALUE_DTn and time VALUE_TSn (where n is the number of the record)

    the data and field name is as below

    • Latest: PRIMACT_n
    • Time: VALUE_TSn
    • Date: VALUE_DTn
    df, err = ek.get_data(['KRWFIX=KFTC'], ['ACT_TP_1','PRIMACT_1','VALUE_DT1','VALUE_TS1',
                                           'ACT_TP_2','PRIMACT_2','VALUE_DT2','VALUE_TS2',
                                           'ACT_TP_3','PRIMACT_3','VALUE_DT3','VALUE_TS3',
                                           ])
    df

    Please note that the time returned from this query is in GMT timezone

    Hope this helps and please let me know in case you have any further questions.
