Hello, i am trying to get the constituents with RICs and weights of the MSCI World Index. I have tried several approaches such as
ek.get_data("0#.WORLD(2020-12-09)", "TR.CommonName")
or
ek.get_data(['.WORLD'], ['TR.IndexConstituentName'])
I am unsure if the name 'World' is correct, the latter approach works for '.STOXX50'. Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It doesnt work for me, also the current one doesnt. In the application it says "Your current entitlements do not allow Index Constituent Weightings "
This however works
ek.get_data(['IWDA.L'], ['TR.ETPConstituentRIC', 'TR.ETPConstituentName', 'TR.ETPConstituentWeightPercent'])
its a bit of a workaround since I am using the ishares ETF instead of the index itself but I think this should be fine. I just need to find out how to get the historical data now.
@j.rasch I dont think we carry historical constituents for MSCI world - only current:
df,err = ek.get_data("0#.MIWD00000PUS", "TR.CommonName")
df
this works but this does not:
df,err = ek.get_data("0#.MIWD00000PUS(20201012)", "TR.CommonName")
df
Maybe you could try another index for which we have historical constituents (FTSE all World for example).
df,err = ek.get_data("0#.FTAWORLDSR(2020-10-12)", "TR.CommonName")
df
I hope this can help
