DSWS API returns invalid data

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi,

When I execute the following via the DSWS API I receive the following data:
ds.get_data(tickers = '8857RL', fields = ['DSCD','ENAME','ISIN','RIC','T1C','LEI',] ,kind = 0)

When I use the same DSCD in the web portal, the ISIN is correct.

When I try to search the web portal for the ISIN returned by the API, I receive no data

The same happens when I try and search the API for the ISIN the web portal returns, I receive NA for all values.

This happens often and I don't know if I can trust the data received from either source. Is this a bug?

Hi @sam.macaluso,

Please note that this LSEG Developer Q&A Forum is for LSEG API technical questions only. For content questions such as yours, we would usually ask that you please use myaccount.lseg.com.

With that said, I reached out to our internal team myself to let them know that I checked this dicrapency myself. Indeed, the ISIN showing up in the Datastream Navigator for company ‘ANET.K’ (tickers = '8857RL') is incorrectly showing as US0404132064 when it should be US0404132054.

I will reach out to you on this Developer Community Q&A Forum as soon as I have an update.

The Datastream product is reflecting the correct ISIN, I can see there was a stock split (4:1) yesterday which is why the ISIN changed:

Type	ISIN CODE
8857RL	US0404132054

Navigator changes take 24 hours to reflect so I expect the update will be made within the next few hours
