How to use get_symbology method using Lipper ID

Wan Po.Lee

I tried to use the following call to search for different fund symbols. It was working using RIC, ISIN, but always got an error when using LipperID:

ek.get_symbology(["LP60000008"], from_symbol_type="RIC", to_symbol_type="LipperID")

It will fail using "from" or "to". I tried "lipperID", "LipperID", "Lipper ID", "Lipper_ID". I think the error message do not offer me a valid string for Lipper ID.

For the sample fund above the Lipper ID should be "60000008". i.e. the last 8 character in the RIC. It will be nice if a working sample using Lipper ID in get_symbology call can be provided.

The correct one should be "lipperID". However, in the request message, it has been changed to "LipperID". It could be the problem in the library.

('entity: ', 'SymbologySearch')

('payload: ', {'symbols': ['LP60000008'], 'to': ['LipperID'], 'from': 'RIC', 'bestMatchOnly': True})

Request: {"ID": "123", "Entity": {"E": "SymbologySearch", "W": {"symbols": ["LP60000008"], "to": ["LipperID"], "from": "RIC", "bestMatchOnly": true}}}
