I want to be able to search directly by ISIN, as I will start out with only the ISIN available in python and not the Equity RIC. Is there a way via python to figure out the RIC and other features based on solely the ISIN?
@julie.osial
Thank you for reaching out to us.
You can use the LSEG Data Library for Python to retrieve RICs from ISINs.
There are several methods.
1.Use the get_data method
ld.get_data( universe = ["US4592001014","US30303M1027","US0231351067"], fields = ["TR.RIC"])
2. Use the symbol_conversion endpoint
response = symbol_conversion.Definition( symbols = ["US4592001014","US30303M1027","US0231351067"], from_symbol_type = symbol_conversion.SymbolTypes.ISIN, to_symbol_types = [symbol_conversion.SymbolTypes.RIC]).get_data() response.data.df
3. Use the search.lookup endpoint
symbols = ["US4592001014","US30303M1027","US0231351067"] response1 = search.lookup.Definition( view=search.Views.SEARCH_ALL, scope="ISIN", terms=",".join(symbols), select="RIC", ).get_data() response1.data.df
You can refer to the example code on GitHub.
Hello @julie.osial
You can use a Search feature on the https://developers.lseg.com/en/api-catalog/lseg-data-platform/lseg-data-library-for-python to find information you need.
Example code:
import lseg.data as ld from lseg.data.content import search ld.open_session() response = search.Definition( view=search.Views.SEARCH_ALL, select="ISIN,RIC,....", filter="ISIN eq '<ISIN Code>'" ←- Set your ISIN here ).get_data() response.data.df
You can find a full example here.
