Bond price difference

Hi,

Using Eikon API I am getting totally different BID and ASK prices whether I use CH22439734= (given me by Eikon application whenever I search for CH0224397346) or CH0224397346.

For example I get prices above 110 if I used the following

bid_ask_df1,e = ek.get_data(["CH0224397346"],['TR.BIDPRICE', 'TR.ASKPRICE', 'TR.BIDPRICE.date'],
                  {'SDate': "2024-04-29",'EDate':"2024-05-10",'Frq':'D'})

And I get prices close to 95 for this one, which based on Destop app are the correct prices.

bid_ask_df2,e = ek.get_data(["CH22439734="],['TR.BIDPRICE', 'TR.ASKPRICE', 'TR.BIDPRICE.date'],
                  {'SDate': "2024-04-29",'EDate':"2024-05-10",'Frq':'D'})

I check in the application if the prices were in another currency but then I didn't match and in my use case I would rather take case where the prices are close to 95. I would appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.

Hi @chekp

I don't believe these codes you are comparing represent the same instrument. I would first reach out to the helpdesk (Get Help & Support (F1)) within the desktop - they will bring in a content person to confirm.

When I take your instrument: CH5YT=RR [Switzerland 5 Year benchmark] and convert that symbol like this:

When I go into the desktop and enter CH0224397346, I see this:

Why don't you simply use CH0224397346 when you perform a .get_data()?
