Using send_json_request in order to get company info.

Hello,

I have a list of companies names which I have to collect some data, I order to be able to use get_data to collect that information I need to have the PermID of each company, Initially I was trying to use the permID API but I realised that not all the companies were there, but I could still find them on the Eikon web app. I realise that requesting the data via web (eikon) I could get the PermID to the orgs that doesn't appear on the permID API...

Example of route:

https://emea1.apps.cp.thomsonreuters.com/synapse/service/suggestions/suggest/?client=EikonNow&api-key=KEYHERE&expand=true&highlight=true&instantAnswer=true&profile=DefaultEikonNow&s=TRI.TO&st=RIC&query=A.B.F.%20PROPERTIES%20LIMITED

}

So I am trying to figure out how to replicate this request from the Eikon Data API. I believe I should use send_json_request for this one but there's no documentation about this function in your docs. It requires me to define which service I need on the params but I can't find which one I should use for this.

Thanks in advance.

@luis22 there is no search api that you can currently use as a part of Eikon Data API, and I would not recommend tapping into the internal apis.

If those companies are public, you can use Eikon Excel (RSearch function) to try and match them.

Thanks for your reply. Is there any specific reason of why we don't get the same results from the PermID API and Eikon web?

@luis22 different databases and matching algorithms, I guess. If there is something missing in permid, you can raise it on the dedicated permid forum
