Client would like to download news via Eikon API for the "Financial Services Agency in Japan. "
On Eikon API, ek.get_news_headlines("FSA AND JAPAN") or ("FSA AND R:JP") doesn't return the same headlines with those I retrive via Eikon using "FSA AND JAPAN". May I know how I should be entering the keyword search? Appreciate for your advise.
If using NewsMonitor in the Eikon with the kyewords "FSA" AND Topic:JP
In the Eikon Data API will require to pass double backslash to pass the query:
headlines = ek.get_news_headlines('\\"FSA\\" AND Topic:JP')
Type in "FSA AND JAPAN" on the News app and it is being resolved to "R:FSA.AX AND Topic:JP".
I will assume that this is the query you would like to retrieve the data. (If this is not the correct news query, please provide the sample news query)
So here is the sample code which retrieve the same set of headlines.
For more information regarding escape character, please read more detail in question.
