I am currently working on building a valuation dashboard for global equity markets using LSEG Workspace / Eikon API (Python), and I would appreciate your guidance on how to properly access valuation metrics for equity indices.

At this stage, I want to avoid assuming specific RICs or datasets, and instead understand the correct approach within LSEG.

Python API usage:

- What is the recommended way to retrieve these valuation metrics using Python?

- Should I use:

- lseg.data (rd.get_data / rd.get_history)

- eikon API

- Or another interface?

Thank you for reaching out to us.

The client can use the LSEG Data Library for Python to retrieve data through the LSEG Workspace desktop session. The examples are available on GitHub.

However, this forum is dedicated to software developers using LSEG APIs. The moderators on this forum do not have deep expertise in every bit of content available through LSEG products, which is required to answer content questions such as this one.

The best resource for content questions is the Helpdesk support team, which can be reached by submitting queries through LSEG Support. The support team will either have the required content expertise ready available or can reach out to relevant content experts to get the answer for you.

You need to ask for the Excel formula, such as =RDP.Data, that can be used to retrieve the required data. Then, we can help you converting that formula to Python code. You can also refer to the How to Convert the =@RDP.Data Excel Function into Code Using the LSEG Data Library for Python article.
