Eikon Data API - Use Watchlist to pull data

jeremy.cahill

Hi All,

If I have a watchlist, can I use it to pull data via the Eikon data api? The watchlist would be created inside Eikon itself. Thanks!

Hi @jeremy.cahill

Please refer to sample code on section "11. Portfolios and Lists" on this page, https://developers.refinitiv.com/en/article-catalog/article/eikon-data-api-cheat-sheet

Assuming you're asking about retrieving a saved list created in a Monitor app in Eikon application, you can use Monitor list name to retrieve its constituents. Using Eikon Data APIs you can retrieve the constituents of the list saved with the name "Monitor 1" using

ek.get_data('MONITOR("Monitor 1")',['CF_NAME','CF_LAST'])
