Hi. I would like to check how much historical data is available in Coarse Selection by retrieving the starting date for a list of symbols.
According to here (https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/key-concepts/security-identifiers), using Symbol.Date as follows should work:
[x.Date for x in self.symbols]
But I get an attribute error: AttributeError : 'Symbol' object has no attribute '
Date’
When I try:
[x.Value for x in self.symbols]
for example, it works.
It also doesn’t work for Symbol.Market. What am I missing?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey Dr Damage,
Symbol.Date as described in the security identifier documentation has been deprecated. Thanks for catching that. You can access the date field corresponding to a security with
Symbol.ID.Date
Best
