MATLAB: What information can I retrieve from each of the data sources available in the Datafeed Toolbox

bloombergdatadatafeedDatafeed Toolboxfieldshyperfeedidcsourcesyahoo

Is there any location on your website that lists information about what information I can retrieve from each of the data sources to which I can connect using the Datafeed Toolbox:
Bloomberg, Hyperfeed, IDC, and Yahoo?

Best Answer

The Datafeed Toolbox includes MAT-files, one for each data source, indicating what fields of data you can retrieve from that particular data source. You can load these files (if the data source is available in your version of MATLAB) by executing the following commands:
Bloomberg:
 
datasourcepath = fullfile(matlabroot, 'toolbox' , 'datafeed' , 'datafeed' , '@bloomberg' , 'bbfields.mat')
load(datasourcepath)
Hyperfeed:
 
datasourcepath = fullfile(matlabroot, 'toolbox' , 'datafeed' , 'datafeed' , '@hyperfeed' , 'hpfields.mat')
load(datasourcepath)
IDC:
 
datasourcepath = fullfile(matlabroot, 'toolbox' , 'datafeed' , 'datafeed' , '@idc' , 'idcfields.mat')
load(datasourcepath)
Yahoo:
  ERROR: datasourcepath = fullfile(matlabroot, 'toolbox' , 'datafeed' , 'datafeed' ,'@yahoo' , 'yhfields.mat') load(datasourcepath) Note: In R2014b and later, you can only retrieve this information for Yahoo. It is unclear when this functionality was first removed.
