Documentation for Desktop API .NET and Java

melarbi

@ Alex Putkov Hi Alex, Please can you point me towards a detailed documentation ( ideally with examples ) for retreiving Equities and Futures data from Eikon. Here I am looking at getting some static data ( Country, Exchange, TickSize, Multiplier, Industry, Sector Classification ) for a bunch of stocks and futures where available. Also, looking to get real time pricing data for Equities, Index Futures and FX pairs : Ask, Bid, Last for example. I would love to be able to do this through a java and a C# applications.

I have a licence for Eikon. So I dont really know which API I should use or rather which one I am entitled to use given my licence. I intend to run these applications alongside Eikon ( on the same computer where I also have some Excel sheets running as well ).

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think you should use .NET with:

• COM APIs for use in custom applications
• .NET APIs for use in custom applications

There are examples and tutorials available in the Downloads and Tutorials tabs.
