TRKD HTTP JSON with Python Example

Overview

The Thomson Reuters Knowledge Direct (TRKD) API integrates into your website, trading platform, company intranet/extranet, advisory portal and mobile applications to provide up-to-date financial market data, news and analytics and powerful investment tools.

TRKD offers a wide range of Thomson Reuters' information and services delivered in a request-response scenario via web services using today's industry standard protocols (SOAP/XML and REST/JSON). Connectivity can be via HTTP and HTTPS, over the Internet or Delivery Direct. All data are snapshot (non-streaming) data.

This is an example project that shows how to implement TRKD HTTP JSON Client with python. This project contains the following example scripts for each TRKD services

  • trkd_authen.py: An example application that shows how to authenticate with TRKD service
  • trkd_quote.py: An example application that shows how to subscribe (all fields and specific fields) the Quote data from TRKD service
  • trkd_newsheadline.py: An example application that shows how to subscribe the News Headline data from TRKD service
  • trkd_newsstory.py: An example application that shows how to subscribe the News Story data from TRKD service
  • trkd_intraday.py: An example application that shows how to subscribe the Intraday Time-series data from TRKD service
  • trkd_interday.py: An example application that shows how to subscribe the Interday Time-series data from TRKD service
  • trkd_onlinereport.py: An example application that shows how to subscribe the Online Report data from TRKD service
  • trkd_chart.py: An example application that shows how to subscribe and download the Chart image data from TRKD service
  • docs\TRKD_REST_with_Python.docx: A document that describes the trkd_authen.py and trkd_quote.py applications

Prerequisite

The following softwares are required to use this script

All scripts support Python 3 and not compatible with Python 2.

How to run the script

Run the script via the command line (or shell)

$>python <application>.py

Optional - How to install requests

The best way is via the pip package management tool

  1. export <Python_folder>\Scripts to your OS PATH environment
  2. call pip command to install requests 
    $>pip install requests
  3. If you are behind proxy, set the proxy first 
    export https_proxy="http://<proxy.server>:<port>"
$>pip install requests
