ANDR.VI permid

Hello,


I'm trying to find permids for quotes on Andritz AG company via API. The ticker is ANDR and is traded in Vienna (XWBO) according to Bloomberg:

I also see it on the Reuters web page:

https://www.reuters.com/companies/ANDR.VI/charts

Entity search by ticker

  
                
    
                 
  1. ticker:ANDR
    2.

returns nothing at all. Also search by RIC ANDR.VI is not working.

Is this also a licensing issue like in https://community.developers.refinitiv.com/questions/66190/cant-find-permid-by-ric-in-record-matching-api-and.html?

Please try to put only RIC or TICKER value in the search. Without naming it.

So:

  1. curl -X GET "https://api-eit.refinitiv.com/permid/search?access-token=su9Wm6NCfFdiOEKdguoRdJmJi2GzYxK1&q=ANDR.VI&entityType=quote" -H "accept: application/json"
  2. curl -X GET "https://api-eit.refinitiv.com/permid/search?access-token=su9Wm6NCfFdiOEKdguoRdJmJi2GzYxK1&q=ANDR&entityType=quote" -H "accept: application/json"

API is able to look fo the specified value, but as soon as we provide the name of the property it can return errors.

Thank you for the workaround. I agree this is working, but the API specifies that I can look by a certain field (like RIC:ANDR.VI or ticker:ANDR). It works for 99% of securities, but not for this one. I would consider this a bug, not a feature. And the whole purpose of this forum (as I understand) is to provide feedback to the API developers so they can improve it / fix bugs, which will benefit to everybody I guess.

You are correct. It returns nothing when using "ticker:ANDR" with the entity search.

However, if I use 'ANDRITZ ORD' with the entity search, it returns results.

I will contact the Open PermID support team to verify the problem.

No it's not working. Search by ticker:ANDR still returns nothing. Same as searching by ric:ANDR.VI (also nothing).

Please make sure that you are NOT using "ric:" and "ticker:" in the search.

Try to use the value only, like "ANDR" or "ANDR.VI".

I hope it helps,

Indeed, when looking by ANDR only (without specifying ticker:ANDR):

curl -X GET "https://api-eit.refinitiv.com/permid/search?access-token=su9Wm6NCfFdiOEKdguoRdJmJi2GzYxK1&q=ANDR&entityType=quote" -H  "accept: application/json"

it works, and the first returned answer is the expected one, with ticker ANDR and ric ANDR.VI:

"result": {
"quotes": {
"entityType": "quotes",
"total": 12,
"start": 1,
"num": 5,
"entities": [
{
"@id": "https://permid.org/1-55838749029",
"hasName": "ANDRITZ ORD",
"assetClass": "Ordinary Shares",
"isQuoteOfInstrumentName": "Andritz Ord Shs",
"hasRIC": "ANDR.VI",
"hasMic": "WBAH",
"hasExchangeTicker": "ANDR",
"isQuoteOf": "https://permid.org/1-8590941958"
},


However, if I explicitly look by the RIC:

curl -X GET "https://api-eit.refinitiv.com/permid/search?access-token=su9Wm6NCfFdiOEKdguoRdJmJi2GzYxK1&q=ric%3AANDR.VI&entityType=quote" -H  "accept: application/json"

OR by the ticker (NOT both together):

curl -X GET "https://api-eit.refinitiv.com/permid/search?access-token=su9Wm6NCfFdiOEKdguoRdJmJi2GzYxK1&q=ticker%3AANDR&entityType=quote" -H  "accept: application/json"

it returns 0 results:

{
"result": {
"quotes": {
"entityType": "quotes",
"total": 0,
"start": 1,
"num": 0,
"entities": []
}
}
}

which is clearly a bug.
