Input Arguments

collapse all

IHS Markit connection, specified as an ihsmarkitrs object.

Universe name, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

Example: 'US Total Cap'

Data Types: char | string

Request type, specified as the value 'HistoryDetail', 'Mapping', or 'Country'. Use the 'HistoryDetail' value to return historical information from the universe that you specify using the universeid input argument. Use the 'Mapping' value to return a list of the factors in the specified universe. Use the 'Country' value to return the country identifiers that apply to the specified universe.

You can specify each value as a character vector or string scalar.

Output Arguments
