How to get all the info on the PermID page via the lookup API

The API doesn't return the RIC, ticker or instrument type that's in the Primary Instrument and Primary Quote table on the right of the page.

How can we get this data?

    Thanks Daniel,

    I received this answer

    I have made a couple API
    requests for both an organization and a quote PermID. RIC is not
    returned, and on page 14 of the Entity Search API User Guide there is a note next to RIC and it states “display
    only-not available via API.” My assumption is this is because RICs are
    subscription liable and we don’t freely provide them to be scraped publicly via
    the PermID API.
