Why does not all chain ric work in get data in python?

My code:

import eikon as ek

RICS = "0#.OSEBX"

RICS2 = "0#.EQUITY.OL"

ek.set_app_id('')

NokkelData, err = ek.get_data(RICS,["TR.CommonName"])

NokkelData2, err = ek.get_data(RICS2,["TR.CommonName"])

Why does only "0#.OSEBX" work and not "0#.EQUITY.OL"?

Both work i excel. I also want to get data from "0#.MERKUR.OL"

@bendik.ronning, i can reproduce your issue with the correct chain names, here is a workaround. You will need to include an additional get_data() call that will give you the RIC names. In the meantime, I will report this to the product manager:

df, e = ek.get_data('0#EQUITY.OL', ['X_RIC_NAME'])
df2, e = ek.get_data(instruments=df['Instrument'].tolist(), fields=['TR.CompanyName'])

@bendik.ronning I can not find either 0#.EQUITY.OL or 0#.MERKUR.OL. Are you sure those are not internal to your organization?

bendik.ronning

Can you please try "0#.MERKUR.OL" and "0#EQUITY.OL"?

Works fine in Excel

Could you look at Case : 07352520 ?

"Upon checking you
can refer to 0#MERKUR.OL for RICs listed on Market Merkur. Example on
this chain you will see WRE-ME.OL and ADSC-ME.OL. For PHLYS.OL and
SBULK.OL this will be visible in chain 0#EQUITY.OL"

df, e = ek.get_data('0#EQUITY.OL', ['X_RIC_NAME'])
df2, e = ek.get_data(instruments=df['Instrument'].tolist(), fields=['TR.CompanyName'])
