Hi team,

Is there a way using the LSEG API to pull company data based off of the Ticker and not the RIC?

I tried doing it on my end using AAPL instead of AAPL.O and I encountered an error.

import refinitiv.data as rd
rd.open_session()
df = rd.get_data(
universe = ['AAPL'],
fields = [
'TR.PriceClose(Frq=D,SDate=2025-07-21,EDate=2025-07-28)',
'TR.PriceClose(SDate=2025-07-21,EDate=2025-07-28,Frq=D).date'
]
)

display(df)

Thank you team for checking on this matter.

Hi @RALPHPAOLO.NAVARRO

The user can use Symbol conversion functionality of the library to convert the street tickers into the RIC's first.

Then these RIC's can be used in the above get_data call. The tickers can't be used in the API call directly.
