Project description
Thinknum
As companies move their business operations to the Internet, new data trails are being created that can provide unique insights on these companies. Thinknum Alternative Data indexes all of these data trails in one platform, providing investors with critical data points that others miss.
Installation
pip install thinknum
Query
Import library.
from thinknum import Query
To authenticate, you must first obtain a client_id and client_secret from your assigned Thinknum account manager. Your client_secret must not be shared or exposed via publicly accessible resources (such as browser client-side scripting).
q = Query(
client_id='Your client id',
client_secret='Your client secret'
)
If you need to use a proxy, you can configure it with the proxies argument.
proxies = {
"http": "http://10.10.1.10:3128",
"https": "http://10.10.1.10:1080",
}
q = Query(
client_id='Your client id',
client_secret='Your client secret',
proxies=proxies
)
Requests can ignore verifying the SSL certficate if you set verify to False. By default, verify is set to True.
q = Query(
client_id='Your client id',
client_secret='Your client secret',
verify=False
)
You will get a list of datasets, each of which has the dataset id and its display_name.
q.get_dataset_list()
You will get dataset's metadata.
q.get_dataset_metadata(dataset_id='job_listings')
It's possible to limit the dataset list to a specific ticker by specific a "ticker" query parameter. For example, getting all datasets available for Apple Inc:
q.get_ticker_dataset_list(query='nasdaq:aapl')
You can search for tickers.
q.get_ticker_list(query="tesla")
You can also search for tickers of particular dataset
q.get_ticker_list(query="tesla", dataset_id='job_listings')
You can retrieve data for specific dataset and tickers with various filters. For example:
q.add_ticker('nasdaq:lulu') # Add ticker
q.add_filter(
column='as_of_date',
type='>=',
value=["2020-01-05"]
) # Add filter
q.add_sort(
column='as_of_date',
order='asc'
) # Add Sort
q.get_data(dataset_id='job_listings') # Retrieve data
You can also specify start
and limit
. The default values are 1
and 100000
.
q.get_data(dataset_id='job_listings', start=1, limit=1000)
Sometimes you only need get aggregated results for a dataset. In such cases you can retrieve them through the addGroup
and addAggregation
functions.
q.add_ticker('nasdaq:lulu') # Add ticker
q.add_group(column='as_of_date') # Add group
q.add_aggregation(
column='dataset__entity__entity_ticker__ticker__ticker',
type='count'
) # Add aggregation
q.add_sort(
column='as_of_date',
order='asc'
) # Add sort
q.get_data(dataset_id='job_listings')
There a few functions that you can apply to queries to gather even more insight into the data. You can retrieve a listing of the available functions in a dataset with the getDatasetMetadata
function. For example, there is nearby
function for store
dataset.
q.add_ticker('nasdaq:lulu')
q.add_function(
function='nearby',
parameters={
"dataset_type": "dataset",
"dataset": "store",
"tickers":["nyse:ua"],
"entities": [],
"distance": 5,
"is_include_closed": False
}
)
q.get_data(dataset_id='store')
Also, you can apply nearest
function to store
dataset like the following code.
q.add_ticker('nasdaq:lulu')
q.add_function(
function='nearest',
parameters={
"dataset_type": "dataset",
"dataset": "store",
"tickers":["nyse:ua"],
"entities": [],
"ranks": [1],
"is_include_closed": False
}
)
q.get_data(dataset_id='store')
History
Import library.
from thinknum import History
Like the Query
library, you must authenticate to utilize History
library.
h = History(
client_id='Your client id',
client_secret='Your client secret'
)
If you need to use a proxy, you can configure it with the proxies argument.
proxies = {
"http": "http://10.10.1.10:3128",
"https": "http://10.10.1.10:1080",
}
h = History(
client_id='Your client id',
client_secret='Your client secret',
proxies=proxies
)
Requests can ignore verifying the SSL certficate if you set verify to False. By default, verify is set to True.
h = History(
client_id='Your client id',
client_secret='Your client secret',
verify=False
)
To retrieve a list of available history for a dataset:
h.get_history_list(dataset_id='store')
You can view the metadata for the historical file:
h.get_history_metadata(
dataset_id='store',
history_date='2020-03-09'
)
To download a CSV of the historical data:
h.download(
dataset_id='store',
history_date='2020-03-09'
)
You can specify download path:
h.download(
dataset_id='store',
history_date='2020-03-09',
download_path='/Users/sangwonseo/Downloads'
)
