How do I retrieve S&P Capital IQ data with API functions?

Before coding, it is important to understand S&P Capital IQ data and how API Functions are used to retrieve the data.

Each category of data (e.g., Company Specific Data and Company Fundamental (Financials) Data) includes various Mnemonics (i.e., data item names) pertaining to each specific data item, which can be queried using the Functions provided within the API. Some functions return a single data value (point-in-time), while others return a series of data values. A description of each of the applicable Functions follows this section.

Typical input parameters for the Functions include a single Company Identifier or list of Company Identifiers (e.g., Capital IQ IDs and Ticker Symbols), a single Mnemonic or a list of Mnemonics, and various other required and/or optional arguments referred to as Properties within the API. The required and/or optional Properties vary based on the Function used and Mnemonic requested.

Each Function requires at least one Identifier. Identifiers are case sensitive and must be passed as uppercase. Identifier types can be mixed (i.e., IQ#### & TICKER).

Each Function requires at least one Mnemonic. Mnemonics are case sensitive and must be passed as uppercase. A complete listing of Mnemonics available for this challenge is available in the appendix.

Properties (i.e., Function Arguments) are passed as Key/Value pairs. A Complete listing of applicable Properties available for this challenge are available below.

What are the available API Functions?

Following is a description of each of the Functions that can be used to retrieve the S&P Capital IQ data for this challenge.

GDSPThis Function retrieves a single data value for a point-in-time for given Mnemonic(s). The default point-in-time for GDSP Function is Current, but can be changed if the GDSP Function is called with a startDate Property defined.

Example (GDSP with 2 Identifers, 2 Mnemonics & 1 optional Property):GDSP | “IQ139488”, “IBM” | “IQ_COMPANY_NAME”, “IQ_TOTAL_REV” | “startDate” : “05/01/2014”

GDSHEThis Function retrieves a range of values for Mnemonic(s) by Rank or Date. Data values are returned according to the ’Rank’ or ‘Date’ Properties defined and results are ordered by ‘Rank’ or ‘Date’ value.

Example (GDSHE with 1 Identifer, 1 Mnemonics, 1 required (startRank) & 1 Optional (endRank) Property):GDSHE | “IQ139488” | “IQ_QUICK_COMP” | “startRank” : “1”, “endRank” : “5”

Note: Some ‘Rank’ Mnemonics have upper range limits (for results) such as 5 or 10 depending on the Mnemonic.

Following is a list of the specialized request Properties by Function that can be used with specific Mnemonics (where ‘O’ is optional & ‘R’ is required):

startDate & endDate The valid values for startDate and endDate are valid dates (as MM/DD/YYYY).

startRank & endRank The valid values for startRank and endRank are 1 thru #.

PeriodType The following periodTypes can be used in the S&P Capital IQ API to specify the type of data being returned.

Relative: For retrieving data relative to a current period the functions accepts

IQ_FY: Fiscal YearIQ_CY: Calendar YearIQ_FQ: Fiscal QuarterIQ_CQ: Calendar QuarterIQ_LTM: Last 12 Months [default- Financials]IQ_NTM: Next 12 Months [default -Estimates]IQ_YTD: Year-to-Date

Any of the above period types can be used with an offset (+/- #) in order to retrieve historical or future periods.

Absolute: For retrieving data within a specific fiscal date range the functions accepts the following as absolute period inputs

FYyyyy: Fiscal YearCYyyyy: Calendar YearFQqyyyy: Fiscal QuarterCQqyyyy: Calendar Quarter

Where yyyy is Year and q is Quarter (example: FQ32014 will return 3rd Quarter for fiscal Year 2014 data)

currencyID The currency in which the financial data should be displayed. Monetary data will be converted to this currency, if collected in a different currency. There are approximately 200 currencyId values (example: LOCAL, USD, GBP, JPY, INR, etc.)

currencyConversionModeId If the currency is not the reported currency, this parameter controls how the data should be currency converted. The valid values for currencyConversionModeId are Historical or SpotRate.

restatementTypeId The valid values for restatementTypeId are:

O – Original versionP – Preliminary VersionLFR – Latest fully reported version [default]LRI – Latest reported instanceLRP – Latest reported periodLA – LatestIPO

How do I use the .NET and Java API Client Libraries?

Client Library Response Types: OBJECT, JSON and XML

Query responses are returned in native OBJET format by default, which returns a List of SDKDataOutput objects that can be interrogated for the response data. To get results in XML or JSON format, simply make the request using the optional second argument as shown below:

JSON

String response Json = (String)serviceImpl.invokeDataService(input_request,”JSON”);

XML

String responseXml = (String)service.Impl.invokeDataService(input_request,”XML”);

A list of sample requests is available in the appendix.

What are the meanings of the common error responses?

It is possible to receive the following error responses when submitting a request:

Data Unavailable

This means that there is no coverage for the data request (the identifier, mnemonic, and function are correct for input).

Not Applicable

This means that an invalid identifier has been submitted that doesn’t match up with any of our identifier formats (at the entity or security level). It could mean you have used an entity level identifier as an input, but made a request for a security level mnemonic (or vice versa).

Invalid Identifier

This means that an invalid identifier was passed into a data request.

Invalid Mnemonic

This means that an incorrect mnemonic was passed into a data request.


4

Input Arguments Missing

This means that there is one or more input arguments missing.

Function Mismatch

This means that a mnemonic has been passed in that does not work with the specific function it was assigned to (it works with another function).

Not Entitled

This means that the user is not entitled to the specific mnemonic passed in to the data request.

Error Processing Function / Error Processing Request / Invalid Request

These are general errors meaning there is an issue with the input parameters in the request – an input parameter might be missing or some of the input parameters may be invalid.

A full list of error responses is available in the appendix.

What are some API-specific best practices?

You should follow these practices when using the S&P Capital IQ API with the API Client Libraries or the JSON Direct (JSON/REST) access method.

Caching Data (Locally)

Caching data locally improves overall performance. If your application uses the same data point(s) frequently and you do not need to refresh data via the API every time, caching locally avoids the overhead of redundant requests. Additionally, if your workflow requires historical data points, local caching is highly recommended, as most historical data is static.

Validate API Inputs

Validate all API request input parameters (i.e. functions, identifiers, mnemonics, and property key/value pairs) prior to making any API request. This avoids the most common API errors.

Avoid Duplicate API Requests

When an API request is in progress, wait for the API response before making the same request. Multiple requests for the same identifier/mnemonic combinations can cause temporary blocking of API request processing leading to delays in API responses.

Multiple API Requests

Although concurrent API requests per IP address are supported, we advise limiting the number of concurrent API request threads to 5. Too many concurrent requests can cause processing time delays and, depending on your subscription, may even block API access.

API Request Sizes (Identifiers/Mnemonics per Request)


5

It is good practice to group multiple functions, identifiers, and mnemonics in a single API request, although we recommend avoiding large requests. The API platform connection timeout is 15 minutes for a single API request.

When coding against the API, it’s helpful to size the number of data points being requested. We suggest tuning individual API requests to yield approximately 1000 data points, where each request is defined as one function, mnemonic, identifier (plus other property combinations as applicable).

Time Series, Historical, and Vector Information

The Time Series, Historical, and Vector functions (GDSHE) require more processing time and return more data points than the Point-in-Time functions (GDSP).

In addition to sizing the number of requests, when making requests for time series, historical, or vector API requests, limit the input ranges (data, rank, etc.) to return smaller API requests with better response times.

API Response Errors

It is good practice to resolve all known API errors. This avoids duplicate API requests with the same exception such as making multiple requests with an incorrect API user name and password, invalid inputs, etc.
