Hi @johnnavi.quinones ,

To find field names in EDAPI (Eikon Data API), please use the DIB (Data Item Browser). I looked for MIFID_SENIORITY_CDS but did not find it there, so I guess that GCODE tables data items are not available unfortunately…

Hi Jonathan. Thanks! Would there be alternatives like using Eikon R API? Or other libraries?

Hi @johnnavi.quinones

I think that you can use rd library and search function:

import refinitiv.data as rd
rd.open_session()
rd.discovery.search(
    view = rd.discovery.Views.GOV_CORP_INSTRUMENTS,
    filter = "ISIN eq 'BE0002479542'",
    select = "MiFIDBondSeniorityCode"
   )

possible results:

JUND Junior Debt
MZZD Mezzanine
SBOD Subordinated Debt
SNDB Senior Debt

I have a quick question. How can I get a list of field name for the "select". The field name for MiFIDBondSeniorityCode from the GCode database viewer is mifid_seniority_cds. I wanted to search with other fields, but I don't know how to the the corresponding name.

Thanks

Hi @vuk.magdelinic,

I do recommend to check this article by @nick.zincone. He explains the power of search and how to get most of it. There is no simple rule other than playing a bit with that and adjusting the parameters to obtain expected results.
