    Just as you would expand a stock index.

    >>> df, err = ek.get_data('0#CDXHY5Y31C=MP',['CF_NAME'])

    >>> df.count()
    Instrument    90
    CF_NAME       90
    dtype: int64

    >>> df.head(20)
           Instrument           CF_NAME
    0      CDXHY5Y=MP  CDXHY.35.5Y
    1    MSPRDHEADER=  HEADER RIC
    2   ADTX5YUSAX=MP  ADT SECURITY
    3   AESC5YUSAX=MP  AES CORP
    4   AKST5YUSAX=MP  AK STEEL CORP
    5   GMAC5YUSAX=MP  ALLY FINANCIAL
    6    AMD5YUSAX=MP  AMD
    7    AMR5YUSAX=MP  AMERICAN AIRLINE

  • Thanks Gurpreet, I tried with many fields and never thought with just the name will work, great, thank you, now that I have the constituents how can I link the result to ask for historical data from each constituent?

  • You will have to use a loop of some sort to get timeseries data. For e.g.

    df, err = ek.get_data('0#CDXHY5Y31C=MP',['CF_NAME'])
    for instr in df['Instrument']:
       # another eikon API call to get timeseries data

    If you are interested in just getting a single field at certain date, something like this would work too:

    >>> df2, err = ek.get_data(df['Instrument'].tolist(), ['CF_NAME', 'TR.OPENPRICE(SDate=2021-03-01)'])

    >>> df2
           Instrument           CF_NAME  Open Price
    0      CDXHY5Y=MP  CDXHY.35.5Y             <NA>
    1    MSPRDHEADER=  HEADER RIC              <NA>
    2   ADTX5YUSAX=MP  ADT SECURITY         245.803
    3   AESC5YUSAX=MP  AES CORP              89.329
    4   AKST5YUSAX=MP  AK STEEL CORP         83.087
    ..            ...               ...         ...
    85  CSAL5YUSAX=MP  UNITI GROUP          392.035
    86  UHSI5YUSAX=MP  UNIVERSAL HEALTH     111.236
    87   UVN5YUSAX=MP  UNIVISION COMM        445.73
    88  VSTG5YUSAX=MP  VISTRA CORP           67.098
    89   YUM5YUSAX=MP  YUM! BRANDS          126.499
