rdth.status - Status of FTP request for Thomson Reuters Tick History data

Syntax

Description

[s,qp] = status(r,x) returns the status and queue position of the Thomson Reuters Tick History (TRTH) FTP request handle, x. When s is equal to 'Complete', download the file from the TRTH server manually or programmatically.

Examples

Check the status of your FTP request:

x = submitftp(r,'GOOG.O',{'Exchange ID','Price','Volume'}, ...
   {(floor(now))-10,(floor(now))},'TimeAndSales','Trade', ...
   'NSQ','EQU') 

s = []; 
while ~strcmp(s,'Complete') 
[s,qp] = status(r,x); 
end 

Optionally, download the file from the TRTH server programmatically. The data file is generated in a directory, api-results, on the server. The file has extension csv.gz.

filename = ['/api-results/' char(x) '-report.csv.gz'];
urlwrite(['https://tickhistory.thomsonreuters.com/HttpPull/Download?'...
          'user=' username '&pass=' password '&file=' filename''],...
          'rdth_results.csv.gz');

This call to urlwrite saves the downloaded file with the name rdth_results.csv.gz in the current directory.
