Attributes
| Attribute name | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| user-name Required | string | User account name. |
| user-key Optional | string | Additional authentication; depending on the settings of your user account, this key is required or not. |
| ticker-type Optional | ticker type | Which type of ticker classification you wish to use for your request. If this value is omitted, the value of <TickerType> will be used; in case both values are omitted, "TBMALFA" is assumed. See also <TickerType>; see ticker type for a list of possible values. |
| sector-type Optional | string | Which type of sector classification you wish to use for your request. Possible values are "TBM" (version 2.1 and lower), "PUB" (version 3.0 and up), "ICB" and "VISION" (normally triggered by ticker-type="TBM"). For "TBM" and "VISION", the sector types are numeric; for "PUB" the sector type is alphabetic. |
| version Required | decimal | The TBXDS version number you use, and request. The TBXDS engine at Infront Netherlands will have to make sure your request is translated if you request an older version. If this isn't possible, an <Event> will be returned within the <MetaData>. Note that the decimal of the version number returned may differ from the one requested; e.g., a requested version of "1.0" returns a <TBMData> version "1.1", which is backwards compatible with version "1.0". Supported versions are "3.5", "3.0", "2.1", "2.0", "1.2", "1.1" and "1.0". |
