One-Click Market Data Capture

Sept. 22, 2022

Capturing Marketing Data in the Wild

We are proud to announce a new Excel-based tool called One-Click Capture. It's the quickest way to get a complete view of the market. Using this tool you can capture all the market data for the sectors you care about with a single mouse click.

How To

  • Download the One-Click Capture Spreadsheet from our Market Data API Docs page: www.empirasign.com/api-mbs/.
  • Enter your API credentials in the credentials tab.
  • Select the sectors you care about by entering 1 in column B on the input tab.
  • Click the Get Market Data button.
  • View query results on the results tab. All the BWICs and Runs data for your selected sectors and date will appear here.

Other Notes

  • If you leave the date cell blank (A2), the query defaults to the current day.
  • By changing the value in Cell B4, you can retrieve only Runs, only BWICs, or all market data.

How It Works

Nothing has changed on the back-end. All your existing API queries will function as they normally have. With this new tool we strung together a few existing API calls (all-bonds and bulk query) with a filter implemented in VBA. If you prefer Python to Excel, we have an equivalent script available for download on the following page: www.empirasign.com/eod-poll/.

You must have Market Data API access to use this functionality. Please reach out to your Empirasign representative to be immediately enabled for a Free Trial.
