Search PermID via ISIN or SEDOL

Paolo.Puggioni

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to search using the Record Matching Open PermID API using ISIN and SEDOL.

Currently it seems like you support only company name, website, ticker, country etc.. but you do not allow matching via ISIN and SEDOL.

Is there a way around it? Or another API that finds PermID via ISIN or SEDOL? Thank you in advance.

Yes, you are correct. It doesn't support ISIN or SEDOL. If I define ISIN code in the Standard Identifier field, it will return the following response:

 "outputContentResponse": [
    {
      "ProcessingStatus": "ERROR: Row Num 2, Cause - Composite field [standard identifier] should be in format: '<key1>:<value1>|<key2>:<value2>...'. Relevant keys are [[VEID, CIDGEN, CIK, MXID, RCPID, WorldScopeCompanyID, WorldScopeCompanyPermID, RIC, Ilx, Datastream_Mnemonic, Ticker]]. Original Row: 1,ISIN:US0378331005,,,,,,,",
      "Match Level": "No Match",
      "Original Row Number": "2"
    }
  ]

The response states that it doesn't support ISIN or SEDOL.

You may use other APIs, such as TRTH or DSS to convert ISIN or SEDOL to RIC and then use OpenPermID API to find the PermID. Otherwise, you can other fields, such as company name to search.
