Eikon data api: get_news_headlines: top news only

laurens

On Eikon API:

ek.get_news_headlines("( R:AAPL.O OR R:GOOG.O OR --- many more rics in between ---- OR R:IBM ) and Language:LEN AND ( Source:RTRS OR Source:FT )", count = 100)

I noticed that I receive a lot of news items that are not so important.

I noticed that in the output I receive many headlines that are not so relevant are if isAlert equals False.

Is there a possibility to add the isAlert=True to the search query so that only important headlines are returned by:

ek.get_news_headlines?

thanks a lot!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

You can add the 'NOT AA AND...' in the query to recieve news headlines which are not alerts.

You can use the news monitor to create a query. Then, the created query can be used in the get_news_headlines method.
