Hello,
I have been trying to extract news from Eikon via the API.
By using Python with ek.get_news_headlines and ek.get_news_story, I am able to extract the news.
From News Monitor, I saw that Eikon has identified the affected RIC in one of the columns. E.g. in the screenshot below we can see MGM.N , TWNK.O being identified.
The idea is whenever I extract a news, I want to know the affected companies as well. Is there a way to extract these RICs?
Thank you.

I checked and found that the desktop session (Eikon and Refinitiv Workspace) doesn't provide this information in the news headlines response.
The following is the raw response from the get_news_headlines method.

However, the platform session (Refinitiv Data Platform) can provide this information in the '_qcode' property.
