Qualitative Data Time Series Eikon

in Eikon Data APIs

Is there a way to pull a time series for qualitative fields for individual RICs? For example, there is a field that I'm interested in TR.CEOBoardMember, which is a qualitative data field. Is there a way to pull a time series of this datapoint (ie so I could see if this has always been the case, or when it changed etc) from the API?

    Hi @scott.curry,

    If the particular datafield in the Data Item Browser shows a series checkmark, then there is timeseries data available for it.

    Using it in python yields:

    >> df,err = ek.get_data('IBM.N', ['TR.CEOBoardMember', 'TR.CEOBoardMember.Date'], {'SDate': 0, 'EDate': -5, 'Frq': 'FY'})

      Instrument CEO Board Member                  Date
    0      IBM.N             True  2020-12-31T00:00:00Z
    1      IBM.N             True  2019-12-31T00:00:00Z
    2      IBM.N             True  2018-12-31T00:00:00Z
    3      IBM.N             True  2017-12-31T00:00:00Z
    4      IBM.N             True  2016-12-31T00:00:00Z
    5      IBM.N             True  2015-12-31T00:00:00Z
