Refinitiv Data Platform Library for TypeScript

getData

This method sends a request to the Refinitiv Data Platform to retrieve the data described in the FundamentalAndReference.Definition object.

Syntax

definition.getData(session?: Session)

Parameters

Returned value

ContentResponse object.

Usage

The following example demonstrates how to get revenue and gross profit for IBM.N and TRI.N:

const definition = FundamentalAndReference.Definition({
    universe: ["TRI.N", "IBM.N"],
    fields: ["TR.Revenue", "TR.GrossProfit"],
});

const response = await definition.getData();

console.log(response.data.table);

The following example demonstrates how to get revenue and gross profit for all constituents of the chain:

const definition = FundamentalAndReference.Definition({
    universe: '0#.DJI',
    fields: ["TR.Revenue", "TR.GrossProfit"],
});

const response = await definition.getData();

console.log(response.data.table);

The data is retrieved by default from the UDF platform. To get data from the RDP platform instead, it is necessary
to set the underlying platform to 'rdp' before calling the getData function (note that the underlying platform
can be either 'udf' or 'rdp').

The following example demonstrates how to get revenue and gross profit for TRI.N and IBM.N using date as a row header from the RDP platform:

const definition = FundamentalAndReference.Definition({
    universe: ["TRI.N", "IBM.N"],
    fields: ["TR.Revenue", "TR.GrossProfit"],
    rowHeaders: FundamentalAndReference.RowHeaders.Date
});

config.set('apis.data.datagrid.underlying-platform', 'rdp');

const response = await definition.getData();

console.log(response.data.table);
