Using Elektron API can i make a request for a RIC to give data as of a specific point of time

E.G :

Using EIKON excel i can make below request :

=RHistory("/IBM.N","TRDPRC_1.Timestamp;TRDPRC_1.Volume;TRDPRC_1.Close","END:10-Oct-2019:16:00 NBROWS:1 TIMEZONE:GMT INTERVAL:1D",,"TSREPEAT:NO CH:Fd")

Is there a way to replicate this in API

Hello @debashish.bisoi

Did you contact your Refinitiv representative to get access for the EDP API yet?

If you already have EDP API account credential, you can follows the following resources

• EDP API Quick Start
• EDP API Tutorials
• EDP API Document and playground

Hello @debashish.bisoi, Time and Sales and Timeseries data has been made obsolete in Elektron realtime feeds. For historical time series, you can use either Elektron Data Platform or Tick History API. These both are based on RESTful interface.

{"error":"access_denied" ,"error_description":"Invalid username or password."

even though in user name am passing mine EIKON login id and password

@debashish.bisoi, Elektron Data Platform is a different product, and your Eikon credentials will not work with it. Please contact your account manager to get setup with EDP.

Do you have Elektron feeds in house, or are you just interested in getting data using an API? Eikon also has Python API which can be used to get data programmatically (for individual use only). See the tutorial on Eikon Data API.

Hi

We do have Elektron feed in house but want to use the data via API . EIKON API is not viable as we want to use the API inside an application

See my previous reply - Elektron API do not offer this functionality; you will have to use EDP. Please contact your account manager to get access to it.
