These Python tutorials demonstrate how to programmatically access content residing within the Refinitiv Data Platform (RDP) using a single, ease of use Library called the Refinitiv Data Library for Python. The platform refers to the layer of data services providing both streaming and non-streaming content serving different clients, from the simple desktop interface to the enterprise application.

The Refinitiv Data Library for Python is a Refinitiv supported Library and is available on PyPi at https://pypi.org/project/refinitiv-data/

The Refinitiv Data Library for Python is structured as a stack of interfaces and libraries designed to foster the adoption of our platform by both financial coders and professional developers to programmatically access financial content.

Based on this stack of interfaces, the examples defined within this section have been organized into the following folders:

The Configuration folder contains the configuration file - refinitiv-data.config.json - for the Refinitiv Data Library for Python. Before running any of the tutorials, you must modify this file depending on the access channel and connection parameters that you will use to connect to the Refinitiv Data Platform. This necessary configuration step is explained in the Quick Start guide

The Quick Start notebook focuses on choosing the correct session type (Platform/Desktop/Deployed) and establishing a connection to validate your credentials/connectivity parameters.

The tutorials should be used in conjunction with the Tutorials and Documentation available on the Refinitiv Developer Portal
