Hi chaps, Has anyone tried to get Earnings and Events through the API? I can see a 'news' method available, but I haven't tried it yet. I have a a feeling that I am going to have to scrap a couple of websites to get the data I am after.
Digging a little bit it seems that there are a couple of API callbacks to get this data. https://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/fundamentals.html There is a but ... you'll need to get a subscription with the company that provides the data https://www.interactivebrokers.co.uk/en/trading/providers/wsh-enchilada.php Scrapping it is, then.
I have never used this IB API feature, but it could be useful to me, so I checked it out. First I logged in to the IB website and subscribed to the Wall Street Horizon subscription. IB told me that the fee was waived, but I have no idea why. Then I found this documentation: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/campus/ibkr-api-page/twsapi-doc/#update-display-groups I will let you know if I figure out how to actually use it.
If the fee is waived, that changes everything. I just wanted to know if it possible, the way to use it is in the link I posted.
Axis Investors/ a Youtuber have made a couple of videos about News. Today one about free news in TWS. And in the past about some paid news
You mean scrapping as in giving up your plan? Or you mean scraping, getting the information by filtering web pages?
