How to get a list of all ever-listed companies for a specific time horizon?

Clemens_Tegetmeier

Is it possible to get a list of all ever-listed companies (including companies that are no longer listed) for a country/region (US, Europe) and a time horizon (e.g. 2000-2024) using the Python API?

Currently, we use the Python API and ld.get_data() to extract several types of data and get the identifiers externally or via the possibility to extract index constituents.

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Typically, to retrieve a list of RICs, you can use the screener or the search. The output will be similar to the output from the Screener app or the Advanced Search app.

• Find Your Right Companies with SCREENER | the Data Library (Python)
• Find content and functionality using the Data Library with Workspace Advanced Search

You need to contact the helpdesk team via MyAccount to verify if the screener or advanced search app can return the required list. Then, you can apply it to the LSEG Data Library for Python.

Moreover, you can retrieve historical index constituents, as mentioned in this Building historical index constituents article.
