How to get the historical dirty price of bond in bulk

anchu

As I known, I can get one bond historical dirty price via the following way.

from refinitiv.data.content.ipa.financial_contracts import bond

response = bond.Definition(
instrument_code=code,
fields=['DirtyPrice'],
pricing_parameters=bond.PricingParameters(
market_data_date=startDate)).get_data()
print(response.data.df)

Is there any way to get dirty prices on many bonds all at once through the Eikon API?

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Please try the following code.

from refinitiv.data.content.ipa.financial_contracts import Definitions
from refinitiv.data.content.ipa.financial_contracts import bond

bond_1 = bond.Definition(instrument_code="US10YT=RR")
bond_2 = bond.Definition(instrument_code="US5YT=RR")
parameters = bond.PricingParameters(market_data_date="2023-06-01")
def_var = Definitions(universe=[bond_1,bond_2],fields=["RIC","DirtyPrice"],pricing_parameters=parameters)
def_var.get_data().data.df

The output is:

@Jirapongse Thanks for your answer, it's helpful. One more question, can I get the dirty price of many bonds over a period of time at once? for example, date from 2023-06-01 to 2023-06-30

You can try the get_history method.

history = rd.get_history(universe=['US10YT=RR', 'US5YT=RR'], 
                         fields=["DIRTY_PRC"],
                         interval='daily', 
                         start="2023-05-01", 
                         end="2023-06-30")
