How can I pull "Private Equity/VC" data from the SCREENER app using the Eikon API?

DMangoubi

I would like to pull data from the SCREENER App on Private Equity/VC using the Eikon API.

In WorkSpace I do this by opening the SCREENER app, setting "Universe" to "Private Equity/VC" and then setting any other filters I need.

Based off this documentation of how to use the API to pull data from the SCREENER App, it appears that I should be able to run the Excel plugin to define screener syntax. However, when I run the SCREENER app in the Excel Plug in, the button "Export All as Formulas" is grayed out, preventing me from getting the code to pull the Private Equity/VC data from the API.

I'd assume the code would look somethng like this:

syntax = 'SCREEN(U(IN(Equity(active,public,primary))), TR.CompanyMarketCap>=5000000000, IN(TR.ExchangeMarketIdCode,"XNYS"), IN(TR.TRBCBusinessSectorCode,"5010","5020","5030"), TR.TotalReturn3Mo>=15, CURN=USD)'

Where the text "active, public, primary" would be replaced with something like "privateequity". However, i can't find any documentation or information on how to use the SCREENER for Private Equity/VC in either the Excel plugin or the API.

This post from five years ago has a similar question, but the answer is inconclusive about whether pulling "Private Equity/VC" data from the SCREENER app is possible in the API.

Is it possible to pull "Private Equity/VC" data from the SCREENER app in the API? Where could I find more documentation on this?

Thank for reaching out to us.

If the button "Export All as Formulas" is grayed out, it could have some restrictions to generate formulas for the "Private Equity/VC".

Please contact the helpdesk team via MyRefinitiv to check why the button is grayed out.
