How do I get test APIs for Eikon
My database is currently being built. I would like to test if I can extract company API data from Reuters. I need a sample to test.
Can I get for sample for HSBC (UK listed bank- Ticker: HSBA.L)
I would like the following fields for HSBC
Company name
Country of headquarters
ticker
Company shares in issue
volume (daily)
PE
Dividend yield
Fiscal year end
Business description
Free float
Company market cap
GICS sector name

Please see the Quick Start guide for setting up your development environment and to start using the API. And see this tutorial to learn about metadata discovery (how to find field names and parameters you need to use to extract specific data items).
I checked your Eikon account and noticed that you currently subscribe to the most basic variant of Eikon known as Eikon Core. This variant of Eikon does not include access to Eikon Data APIs. In order to use Eikon Data APIs you need a higher tier variant of Eikon. And if you're looking to populate a master security or any other enterprise database that is utilized by multi user or any kind of enterprise applications, then Eikon is the wrong product for you. Eikon is an end user product. With Eikon you're licensed to utilize any data you retrieve for user's individual use only. If you're looking to distribute Thomson Reuters data through an in-house database to multi user or enterprise applications, then you need to consider one of Thomson Reuters enterprise products (e.g. Datascope Select), which come with the data distribution license that permits such data utilization.
If you have any questions about data utilization rights that come with various Thomson Reuters products or if you'd like to discuss options for upgrading your account, please contact your Thomson Reuters account manager.0

Hi Avien,
The code below will do that for you.
Syntactically it's quite straight forward, it's the fields that you need to find. For this I'd recommend using the Data Item Browser (DIB) in the desktop or the Formula Builder in excel.
I wasn't sure which ticker you wanted so that's no below but it should be easy for you to find now
Thanks,
Sam
