The partnership will allow subscribers to access Thomson Reuters QADirect financial database through Continuum's new in-browser Python data analytics platform, Wakari. Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals, maintains large datasets of financial information for quantitative equity management. QADirect is the comprehensive database incorporating a wide range of high-quality financial metrics found in Thomson Reuters Worldscope, Datastream, and I/B/E/S datasets. By partnering with Thomson Reuters, Continuum Analytics now offers the financial information found in QADirect through a Python Application Programming Interface (API) hosted on Wakari. The decision to implement a Python API over QADirect's standard SQL interface comes in response to the increasing use of Python, a high-level general-purpose programming language, in the quantitative analysis world for advanced data analytics, simulation, and visualization.
