Hi everyone, a client is currently struggling to extract GICS sectors based of of company names only via Nikon Data API. The company names may not necessarily be similar to the ones used in EIKON. Client has no other symbology available like ISIN etc.

    @Almir Purisic Thanks for you question. So this is possible using the RD library and search service as follows:

    import refinitiv.data as rd
    rd.open_session()

    rd.discovery.search(query="*ome* *dep* ",
                        filter = "IsPublic eq true",
                       view=rd.discovery.Views.ORGANISATIONS,
                       select="BusinessEntity,DocumentTitle,PI,OAPermID,PrimaryRIC,Gics,GicsCode,GicsIndustryLeaf,GicsName"
    )

    This will return a suggested list of companies - the first one is the most likely. Note I have put wildcards around the words in the company name to provide some fuzzy matching. This is the best we have. I hope this can help.
