How to get security's ISIN code from PermID?

wangbin · May 2020

The PermID search API seems do not contain ISIN in its quote response. Though the Eikon API supports to get ISIN from RIC, we don't have the Eikon account. Is it possible to get the ISIN from PermID APIs?

Currently, it is not possible to get the ISIN from Open PermID API because it doesn't support ISIN. You can get RIC and ticker from the Open PermID API, and then you need to use other APIs to convert RIC or ticker to ISIN.

Otherwise, you can send feedback to the Open PermID team via permid.feedback@refinitiv.com.

Hi @wangbin,

It doesn't support ISIN. 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.source

Here is DSS sample.

If you don't have Eikon account you can use Speed Guide Tool available here (or this web for company search results).
