We try to get ISIN codes from ChainRIC in Python.

When we run following code but returned error.

Does Python support get data by ChainRIC ?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

data,err = ek.get_data('0#GBBMK','TR.ISIN')
data.head()

    The correct RIC could be 0#GBBMK= and I got the same result as yours.

    To get ISIN for RICs in that chain, I use the below code.

    data,err = ek.get_data('0#GBBMK=',['DSPLY_NAME'])
    ricList = data['Instrument'].tolist()
    isin = ek.get_symbology(ricList, from_symbol_type="RIC", to_symbol_type="ISIN", bestMatch=True)
    isin

    First, I use get_data to retrieve a list of RICs in that chain and then use get_symbology to convert RICs to ISINs. The output is:
