Could I extract ISIN from Eikon API using bond code directly?

Now I want to extract ISIN code from bond_code or symbol but got nothing.

bond_code = '18642C'  
data, err = ek.get_data(bond_code, fields=['TR.ISIN'])

Considering that now I only have bond_code or Symbol, how should I do?

It seems that symbol "18642C" could not be recognized.

Hi @jun.he

What is a bond code? Typically the type of symbol that is represented for bonds is ISIN, CUSIP or SEDOL. I don't know what '18642C' is referring to. If you want to convert your bond to an ISIN, you will need to get the proper symbol type, whether CUSIP, SEDOL, RIC, PermID, Ticker etc.

Hi @jun.he ,

I've tried to use ek.get_symbology() on this bond code and found that its an unknown symbol in Eikon.
