valid useful values for get_data instruments, parameters

mjg

events_df, err = ek.get_data(

instruments=[ '0#.NYA' , '0#.NDX'.],

fields=['TR.EventStartDate', 'TR.EventType','TR.EventTitle'],

parameters={

'SDate':'2022-3-30',

'EDate':'2022-3-31',

'EventType':'ALL'

}

)

1.for available fields: where is there documentation or a resource to help me look up if there are other fields besides 'TR.EventStartDate', 'TR.EventType','TR.EventTitle' such as TR.EventEndDate, and so on? surely there must be a list of fields somewhere.

2. for instruments: for nyse stocks i found i could use '0#.NYA' via searching this forum. and for nasdaq stocks i found i could use '0#.NDX'. is there a complete list of available 'special lists' like this i can reference?

3.for parameters: for the EventType argument, i pass 'ALL'. but again, i just copied that from an example i stumbled into on this forum. if not for finding it in another users example for an unrelated query in the forum how would i even know 'ALL' is a valid thing to pass? where can i look up valid choices?
