How do I use the lesg.data API to get the data source corresponding to rics?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

For example, for a data source with RIC "MX0MGO0000O5=MKTX", it is "MKTX"

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I can retrieve it from the search API in the LSEG Data Library for Python.

df = ld.discovery.search(
    view = ld.discovery.Views.SEARCH_ALL,
    query = "MX0MGO0000O5=MKTX",
    select = "DocumentTitle,RIC,ContributorCode"
)
    
df

The search example is on GitHub.

For more information, please refer to the Building Search into your Application Workflow article.

Thank you for your help! Using the suggested method I can get some ric's data source, but if RIC='CA135087P576', contributorCode is null, is it correct?Shouldn't it also have a data source?

I think CA135087P576 is an ISIN code which can be mapped to a lot of RICs.

Please try this one.

df = ld.discovery.search(
    view = ld.discovery.Views.SEARCH_ALL,
    query = "CA135087P576",
    select = "IssueISIN,RIC,Source,DTSource,PriceSourceCode,PriceSourceCode,ContributorCode",
    top=1000
)
    
df

I thought this was also a RIC and not an ISIN

If I select it, it will show CA135087P57=.
