Symbol Conversion parameters in C# vs Python

@cleesikyee

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I checked the ISymbolConversionDefinition interface used by SymbolConversion and it doesn't support the preferred_country_code and asset_class parameters.

However, under the hood, the library uses the search.lookup endpoint to convert symbologies. Therefore, you can specify the country code and asset class in the search.lookup endpoint. The example is on GitHub.

For example:

                    var lookup = Lookup.Definition().View(Search.View.SearchAll)
                                                    .Terms("US02079K3059")
                                                    .Scope("IssueISIN")
                                                    .Select("DocumentTitle, RIC, CUSIP, SEDOL, TickerSymbol, IssueISIN, IssuerOAPermID, RCSExchangeCountry, ExchangeCountry")
                                                    .Boost("ExchangeCountry eq 'GBR'")
                                                    .Filter("AssetState eq 'AC' and (SearchAllCategoryv3 in ('Equities'))")
                                                    .GetData();

The country code (ExchangeCountry) is specified in the Boost method and The asset class (SearchAllCategoryv3) is specified in the Filter method.

These are the asset class strings defined in Python.

AssetClass.COMMODITIES: "Commodities",
AssetClass.EQUITY_OR_INDEX_OPTIONS: "Options",
AssetClass.BOND_AND_STIR_FUTURES_AND_OPTIONS: "Exchange-Traded Rates",
AssetClass.EQUITIES: "Equities",
AssetClass.EQUITY_INDEX_FUTURES: "Futures",
AssetClass.FUNDS: "Funds",
AssetClass.BONDS: "Bond Pricing",
AssetClass.FX_AND_MONEY: "FX & Money",

I hope that this information is of help.
