  • AdfinX Real-time "EikonDesktopDataAPI CreateAdxRtList()" is used to access real-time data. You can verify fields of real-time data by using Eikon Quote. For example, MATUR_DATE is a field displayed when subscribing to JP03420067= via Eikon Quote.

    Therefore, you can use CreateAdxRtList() to access the value of MATUR_DATE.

    On the other hand, DEX2 is used to access fundamental data. Normally, Eikon Quote can't access fundamental data.

    In conclusion, for all fields displayed in Eikon Quote, you can use CreateAdxRtList() to retrieve the data. For other fields (fundamental data), you need to use DEX2.
