Bloomberg APIv3 Get reference data overrides

Question

I have an Excel function that I want to move into Python. The BDP function is:

=BDP("IBM US Equity","BEST_EBITDA","BEST_FPERIOD_OVERRIDE","1FY")

from tia.bbg import LocalTerminal 
resp = LocalTerminal.get_reference_data("IBM US Equity", "BEST_EBITDA")

how do I add overrides to this request?

Answer 1

Just passing the override as an additional parameter should work:

resp = LocalTerminal.get_reference_data("IBM US Equity", "BEST_EBITDA",
                                        BEST_FPERIOD_OVERRIDE="1FY")
