Is it possible to retrieve temperature forecast data via Python API? (for example EC00 Ens data). If yes, which function?

Hi @fbbe5d42-15a3-4e2b-84fd-3aed19b70c4e,

If you are still interested in getting the data with Eikon API you may try to get the data from the RICs that we already have. You may navigate to RIC <EU/WEATHER> that is a landing page for the European Weather Service from there you can reach to <EU/WEATHER4> for forecast data. Then to <0#DE-FORECASTS> that contains weather forecasts for Germany and from there you can chose Dusseldorf 1 day ahead <0#DUSSEL-D1>, then you need to narrow down the hour from the available options e.g. <DUSSEL-D1-06> and right here you can get temperature, rainfall, wind speed, wind direction and pressure.

That may look quite cumbersome but is set up in a logical pattern.

RICS = ['DUSSEL-D1-06']
fields = ['GN_TX20_12','GN_TX20_14','GN_TX20_16','GN_TX20_17','GN_TX20_18']
df,err = ek.get_data(RICS,fields)
df

This is how it looks compared with a quote

@fbbe5d42-15a3-4e2b-84fd-3aed19b70c4e it is not possible with the Eikon Python API. I have shared this with a PointCarbon contact who will get back to you with more info.

marcin.bunkowski , thanks for this.

This data is new to me, may I know who/what is the provider?

When we look at temp forecasts in Reuters, we normally look at GFS Ens or EC Op. Is it completely different data to what you have suggested?

Thanks!

Is there a similar page where I might find RICs for the weather in the USA?

I recommend you to contact with your local Refinitiv support that will be able to assist you with your question.

I have found a chain <0#WTHRNA> but the content is not up to date therefore it is worth checking for alternatives.
