To view the supported assets in the India Equity Security Master dataset, see the Data Explorer.

The India Equity Security Master dataset provides Split, Dividend, Delisting, and SymbolChangedEvent objects.

Split Attributes

Split objects have the following attributes:

Dividend Attributes

Dividend objects have the following attributes:

Delisting Attributes

Delisting objects have the following attributes:

SymbolChangedEvent Attributes

SymbolChangedEvent objects have the following attributes:

To get the current split data, index the Splits property of the current Slice with the Equity Symbol. Slice objects deliver unique events to your algorithm as they happen, but the Slice may not contain data for your security at every time step. To avoid issues, check if the Slice contains the data you want before you index it.

def OnData(self, slice: Slice) -> None:
    if slice.Splits.ContainsKey(self.symbol):
        split = slice.Splits[self.symbol]
        split_type = {0: "Warning", 1: "SplitOccurred"}.get(split.Type)
        self.Log(f"Split: {split.Symbol}\t{split.SplitFactor}\t{split.ReferencePrice}\t{split_type}")

public override void OnData(Slice slice)
{
    if (slice.Splits.ContainsKey(_symbol))
    {
        var split = slice.Splits[_symbol];
        Log($"Split: {split.Symbol}\t{split.SplitFactor}\t{split.ReferencePrice}\t{split.Type}");
    }
}

For more information about accessing splits, see Splits.

To get the current dividend data, index the Dividends property of the current Slice with the Equity Symbol. Slice objects deliver unique events to your algorithm as they happen, but the Slice may not contain data for your security at every time step. To avoid issues, check if the Slice contains the data you want before you index it.

def OnData(self, slice: Slice) -> None:
    if slice.Dividends.ContainsKey(self.symbol):
        dividend = slice.Dividends[self.symbol]
        self.Log(f'Dividend: {dividend.Symbol}\t{dividend.Distribution}\t{dividend.ReferencePrice}')

public override void OnData(Slice slice)
{
    if (slice.Dividends.ContainsKey(_symbol))
    {
        var dividend = slice.Dividends[_symbol];
        Log($"Dividend: {dividend.Symbol}\t{dividend.Distribution}\t{dividend.ReferencePrice}");
    }
}

For more information about accessing dividends, see Dividends.

To get the current Delistings data, index the Delistings property of the current Slice with the Equity Symbol. Slice objects deliver unique events to your algorithm as they happen, but the Slice may not contain data for your security at every time step. To avoid issues, check if the Slice contains the data you want before you index it.

def OnData(self, slice: Slice) -> None:
    if slice.Delistings.ContainsKey(self.symbol):
        delisting = slice.Delistings[self.symbol]
        delisting_type = {0: "Warning", 1: "Delisted"}.get(delisting.Type)
        self.Log(f'Delistings: {delisting_type}')

public override void OnData(Slice slice)
{
    if (slice.Delistings.ContainsKey(_symbol))
    {
        var delisting = slice.Delistings[_symbol];
        Log($"Delistings: {delisting.Type}");
    }
}

For more information about accessing delistings, see Delistings.

To get the current Symbol change events, index the SymbolChangedEvents property of the current Slice with the Equity Symbol. Slice objects deliver unique events to your algorithm as they happen, but the Slice may not contain data for your security at every time step. To avoid issues, check if the Slice contains the data you want before you index it.

def OnData(self, slice: Slice) -> None:
    if slice.SymbolChangedEvents.ContainsKey(self.symbol):
        symbol_changed_event = slice.SymbolChangedEvents[self.symbol]
        self.Log(f"Symbol changed: {symbol_changed_event.OldSymbol} -> {symbol_changed_event.NewSymbol}")

public override void OnData(Slice slice){
    if (slice.SymbolChangedEvents.ContainsKey(_symbol))
    {
        var symbolChangedEvent = slice.SymbolChangedEvents[_symbol];
        Log($"Symbol changed: {symbolChangedEvent.OldSymbol} -> {symbolChangedEvent.NewSymbol}");
    }
}

For more information about accessing Symbol change events, see Symbol Changes.
