Thank you for reaching out to us.

You can the ld.get_history method and ignore the fields parameter to retrieve all available historical real-time fields.

df = ld.get_history(
    universe = ["CAEMPC=ECI"])
df

CAEMPC=ECI only supports the VALUE field for daily historical data.

You need to ask for the Excel formula, such as =RDP.Data and =RDP.HistoricalPricing, that can be used to retrieve the required data. Then, we can help you converting that formula to Python code.

@Jirapongse
Thank you for assisting me with this query.
The client has a follow up on this query " suggest that someone add said data to the api given you guys clearly have it somewhere."

Is this something that is possible ?

Could you please clarify what it means?
