All,
?
I am trying to get some basic functionality working with the Wall Street Horizon API (using the TWS API) but there seems to be some fundamental items that I am missing.
?
I am referencing the documentation here:
?
?
I feel I need more information than what is provided here.? I was hoping to find a more detailed tutorial.
?
1.) It looks like the first step is to call reqWshMetaData
?
The example shown in the documentation shows:
?
self.reqWshMetaData(1100)
?
What exactly happening here? It is dumping the entire calendar of data? Any further explanation on this I would appreciate.
?
2.) In the Ewrapper there is the function wshMetaData()
?
def wshMetaData(self, reqId: int, dataJson: str):
? print("WshMetaData.", "ReqId:", reqId, "Data JSON:", dataJson)
?
What should I be doing at this point? From the documentation this looks to return specific event types.? the print() returns a lot of data that looks unfiltered and not focused on what I am looking for.?
?
3.) Request Event Data
?
The example in the documentation shows the call as the following.
?
self.reqWshEventData(1101, eventDataObj)
?
I am not sure here about the eventDataObj. The documentation states that "When making a request to the Wall Street Horizons Event Calendar with the API, users must create a wshEventData Object."? In the API documentation I don't see any an example of how to create this eventDataObj.
?
4.) Receive Event Data
?
In the Ewrapper I then see the function:
?
def wshEventData(self, reqId: int, dataJson: str):
? print("WshEventData.", "ReqId:", reqId, "Data JSON:", dataJson)
?
How do I filter this to only show data for a specific stock?? Is this related to the conID that would be part of the wshEventData?
?
Thanks for any information on this.

print("WshMetaData.", "ReqId:", reqId, "Data JSON:", dataJson)
def wshMetaData(self, reqId: int, dataJson: str):
print("WshMetaData.", "ReqId:", reqId, "Data JSON:", dataJson)
