Hi @Oran

You may find sections of the article Converting ISINs to RICs useful.

In summary, you can have multiple RICs for an entity - one for each data source - e.g. for IBM the primary exchange is NYSE, and the Primary RIC is IBM.N but we also have other IBM RICs such as IBM.MX, IBM.BE, IBM.HA, IBM.H etc

Hi - is there an updated URL for this article mentioned - "Converting ISINs to RICs"? This link seems to be dead now.

Hi @waynes

I believe the new URL is https://developers.refinitiv.com/en/article-catalog/article/isin-to-ric-conversion-with-dss-datascope-select-rest-api

As well as the Datascope select for the conversion, our newer RDP APIs can also be used to achieve this e.g. our Symbology API.

I have a simple Python example that demonstrates this and has links to the Symbology API documentation etc.

Refinitiv-API-Samples/Example.RDPLibrary.Python.ConvertSymbology: Simple notebook to convert ISINs (or other Symbology) to RICs using the Refinitiv Data Platform Symbology API (github.com)
