How to pull RIC using ISIN and select specific market without using RSearch formulaIt seems RSearch formula below in Eikon will not work in Python API
=RSearch("EQUITY","Search:'"&A2&"' ExchangeCode:"&B2&"",,)
where A2 is GB00B17BBQ50 B2 is JNB

You can use RDP Library to achieve what you're looking for. The example below returns the RIC 'INPJ.J', given the ISIN 'GB00B17BBQ50' and exchange code 'JNB' as inputs.
rdp.lookup(view=rdp.SearchViews.EquityQuotes, scope='IssueISIN', terms='GB00B17BBQ50', filter="ExchangeCode eq 'JNB'", select='RIC')
For a comprehensive review of using RDP Library to access the Search service on RDP, see the article titled "Building Search into your Application Workflow".
Hello @kenley.macandog123,
Is
ek.get_symbology(["GB00B17BBQ50"], from_symbol_type="ISIN",to_symbol_type="RIC")
what you are looking for?
Returns:
GB00B17BBQ50 INVP.L
@zoya faberov Client needs to get South Africa listed RIC which is INPJ.J
By default, Eikon Data API returns primary symbol, by specifying bestMatch false
ek.get_symbology(["GB00B17BBQ50"], from_symbol_type="ISIN",to_symbol_type="RIC",bestMatch=False)
you should be able to see all RICs that map to this ISIN.
If this does not satisfy your requirement, in my understanding, an alternative approach that can be explored is to use SCREENER to define specific SCREEN expression, similar to this previous discussion thread, and apply the obtained expression via Eikon Data API python via get_data such as in this previous discussion thread.
To help define SCREEN expression, to determine if this is feasible, suggest to contact Eikon content experts via Refinitiv Helpdesk Online -> Eikon -> Content. This forum is most helpful for API usage general questions and discussions.
