Hi @xuke,

If you're using Python, I would suggest using the rd.get_data function:

test_df = rd.get_data(
    universe=['DSMF4'],
    fields=["PROV_SYMB"],
    # interval="tick"
    )

You can use this function with the Eikon Desktop App. More info on this here.

Hello @xuke

There is the Eikon Data API get_symbology method, but I think it does not support your use case because the API support CUSIP, ISIN, SEDOL, RIC, ticker, lipperID and IMO symbol type only.

@wasin.w Thanks Wasin. Is there any other method? Cause we don't know the code in Eikon(CUSIP, ISIN, SEDOL, RIC, ticker, lipperID and IMO symbol type)? We only know the code in the local exchange.

Hi @xuke, in that case, I'd advise using Search, have you had a look at it before?

Hello @xuke

The PROV_SYMB is seems to be the Real-Time field. The data comes from the feed (exchange/data provider). I don't think you can use this PROV_SYMB field data to seach back to the RIC code.
