DTNIQ Client Software Wish List » Historical News Request by Calendar Event Mar 14, 2019 11:48 PM (Total replies: 2)

Hi,

I'd like to make a request to add functionality that will enable retrieving historical news by title. Currently, we're able to use NHL to request past news by symbol and or date time range. An additional feature that would be really helpful is to be able to request historical news by title.

For example, if I were doing analysis on US GDP, I would send a NHL by title request with US as symbol and GDP
as title. Ideally this would return a list of past US GDP dates, times, headlines,etc.

Naturally, due to the structure of this request, it's designed for synchronous events such as economic news. Any economic data including WTI and Nat. Gas inventory reports would be great.

Thanks

altmany,

Thanks for the clarity. I was running NCG once but misinterpreted use in relation to NHL.

Steve,

Thanks. The protocol wasn't the issue. Before increasing the precision of the protocol I used only the major and minor version and got the same issue as above. Both return the same messages.

One fix that I implemented was after the NCG confiq request, was to store that message in a variable of which was what I was receiving before. Initially, this alleviated the config. message I was receiving but I still wasn't receiving headlines.

I then commented out the entire config. message and was able to get headlines. (below message was received using exact protocol precision)

I noticed that even though I set the NCG message to return text, it would still return XML. I received the above headlines after I commented out the NCG message and manually placing 't' in the NHL request.

In the prior post, I was iterating through a list of symbols. The RTK filter symbols are country symbols and my symbol list were futures contracts, this was the issue. I fixed this but left the NCG request commented and received the following:(i.e. news for each country)

However, when I uncommented the NCG request and set the return type to 't' and removed the 't' from the NHL request, I still received news in XML format(excerpt below):

Not sure why this is but the core issue was iterating through incorrect symbol list. I can set the return type via NHL until the issue with NCG is fixed.

Thanks

IQFeed Developer Support » NHL News Headlines Request Mar 10, 2019 08:14 PM (Total replies: 5)

Hi,

I'm attempting to retrieve news headlines for a specific date, however, upon sending the requests for a specific Source, I receive a message displaying all of the possible Sources and no headline.

I'm coding in Python as below:

#use context manager to initialize socket
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:

#connect to host and port
s.connect((host,port))

#setting protocol
s.sendall(b'(S,SET PROTOCOL, 6.0.0.5\r\n')

#sending news headline request
s.sendall(b'NHL,RTK,,t,,20190310,\r\n')

#storing message in variable
news=s.recv(1024).decode()

This is what I receive:

'News,CATEGORY,All News\r\nNews,MAJOR,DTN,DTN News,1D,10\r\nNews,MINOR,DT5,Treasuries, Most Actives, Gainers, Losers,1D,10\r\nNews,MINOR,RTL,Derivatives - Selected Futures and Options,2Ab,10\r\nNews,MINOR,DT7,Quote List Changes,1D,10\r\nNews,MINOR,RTI,Calendars and Reports,2Ab,10\r\nNews,MAJOR,CPR,PR Newswire,1X,5\r\nNews,MAJOR,CBW,Business Wire,1X,2\r\nNews,MAJOR,RTT,Real-Time Trader,2Ab,10\r\nNews,MINOR,RTB,Breaking News Headlines,2Ab,10\r\nNews,MINOR,RTC,Big Stories,2Ab,10\r\nNews,MINOR,RTD,Analyst Updates,2Ab,10\r\nNews,MINOR,RTE,Analyst Comments,2Ab,10\r\nNews,MINOR,RTF,Stocks on the Move,2Ab,10\r\nNews,MINOR,RTG,Corporate Actions,2Ab,10\r\nNews,MINOR,RTH,Market Overview,2Ab,10\r\nNews,MINOR,RTK,Economic News,2Ab,10\r\nNews,MINOR,RTJ,Canadian Stocks and Market Overview,2Ab,10\r\nNews,MINOR,RTM,Asian Market,2Ab,10\r\nNews,MINOR,RTN,Wall Street Events/Conference Calls,2Ab,10\r\nNews,MAJOR,CPZ,GlobeNewswire Inc,2Ag,10\r\nNews,MAJOR,BEN,Benzinga Pro,1a,10\r\nNews,!ENDMSG!,\r\n'

I'm aware that there are some headlines within the filter provided from viewing the news desktop app. How can I resolve this discrepancy?

Thanks
