ETF Listing Date

Question

Hi all,

Is there a field that i could use in Lseg-data python api or pydatastream api to get the listing date of a ETF share class? If not would like to know if it possible via other methods. Thanks.

Do you mean the first trade date?

The LSEG Data Library for Python code looks like this:

df = ld.get_data(
    universe=["SPY"],
    fields=[
        "TR.FirstTradeDate"        
    ]
)
df

The DatastreamPy code looks like this:

ds.get_data(
    tickers = '<SPY>',
    fields = ['BDATE'],   
    kind = 0
  )

You can also use the Data Item Browser tool or Datastream Navigator to search for fields and parameters.

Otherwise, please contact the helpdesk support team directly via LSEG Support.
