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
The following softwares are required to use this script
- Python 3
- The requests library
All scripts support Python 3 and not compatible with Python 2.
Run the script via the command line (or shell)
$>python <application>.py
The best way is via the pip package management tool
- export <Python_folder>\Scripts to your OS PATH environment
- call pip command to install requests
$>pip install requests
- If you are behind proxy, set the proxy first
export https_proxy="http://<proxy.server>:<port>" $>pip install requests
