How to find the name of a list of indexes via the ek.get_data() method?
Hi Team,
Hope all is well.
Client is willing to find the name of a list of indexes via the ek.get_data() method but does not find the right field (parameter) in the method.
For example, if he tries with '.SPXESUN', via ek.get_data('.SPXESUN', 'TR.IndexName'), he could not retrieve the right name, which is 'S&P 500 ESG INDEX USD NTR').
Moreover, where can the Client find all the available fields to be requested by the ek.get_data() method?
May you help further on this?
Thank you.

Please try the TR.InstrumentDescription field
df, err = ek.get_data('.SPXESUN', 'TR.InstrumentDescription')
You can find all the available fields to be requested by the ek.get_data() method by using the Data Item Browser tool.

I checked the .SPX index and found that its name is shown in field 'DSPLY_NAME', but for .SPXESUN, this field is shown as 'SPXESUN'.
as I need more clarification about the content, the support ticket, case number 10542391 was raised via helpdesk asking about why their display names are different and which field should be used to get the 'S&P 500 ESG INDEX USD NTR' from .SPXESUN

I've just got an update from case 10542391, they suggested using 'TR.InstrumentDescription ' as Jirapongse mentioned
FYI, according to the comment from the ticket
Content specialist confirmed The reason is that we have a limit (16 characters) displaying name on FID 3 (DSPLY_NAME), hence we have short name on FID 3
