Coverage News API RDP

marcel.kuhn

Dear community,

I m using the headline news API (https://api.refinitiv.com/data/news/v1/headlines) and I m wondering about the coverage. I have noticed that there is hardly any news on some topics.

Just an example of a news item from a company (I could also use another one), I used following request: Give me the news from company CDNS for the last 20 days:

Only a single news item is showing up, so practically nothing. Although there was a huge amount of news during this time for this company (you can also see it in the Eikon)..

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Best regards
Marcel

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I tried the following query.

https://api.refinitiv.com/data/news/v1/headlines?query=CDNS.O%20last%2020%20days

The output is:

Please try the query above.

Perfect, thanks @Jirapongse for the fast response. Now I get the same results as you. The mistake was just the "%22" in the beginning.

Nevertheless, I see a big deviation from the actual news or the news that is displayed to me in the Eikon. Can you tell me the coverage of the news RDP API comparing to the Eiok

Let's stay with the example - following query:

https://api.refinitiv.com/data/news/v1/headlines?query=CDNS.O last 10 days L:EN SIG

So I want just significant News in english (to limit the number of news). That leads to only one result:

But in case, I take a look into the Eikon, there are a huge amount of siginifcant news in english for the last days:

Best regards
