  • Hello @shuhei.uede,

    Apologies on the belated response on this. If you had a chance to look at the documentation on Eikon Data APIs- Eikon Data API Reference Guide- it deals in data sets.

    When a request for content is submitted, the result is generated on the fly and comes back as Dataframe or JSON, depending on the request.

    Eikon Data API is not aware of what is currently on the screen on the Eikon user, has no access to either the layout, or the resulting sheets.

    I hope this explanation makes sense.
