Obtain Metadata using this Package

Open BerriJ opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

Is it possible to obtain metadata like Currency using mydsws$snapshotRequest?

In python I can do this:

import lseg.data as ld
from lseg.data.content import search

ld.open_session(
    config_name="lseg-data.config.json",
)

response = search.Definition("TFMBMc1", select="RIC,Currency").get_data()
print(response.data.df)

This accesses LSEG Data Platform which is different from Datastream I guess but on the datastream web interface I can see all metadata like Currency, Exchange, etc. It would be great if those could also be obtained using R.
