get_symbology for getting secondary listing

Hello, I'd like to know if there's a way to use get_symbology to get the secondary listing.

I know there's a boolean flag parameter in the function named bestMatch, in which we get more than just the primary listing if set to False. The thing is, which one of them is actually a symbol that resembles a "best of all secondary listings"? Is there a workaround I can use to get such metric?

Best regards and thanks for your help.

I'm afraid in the symbology data model employed at Refinitiv there's no concept of "best of all secondary listings". I'm not sure how you would even define it. By trading volume? While there are examples where this definition makes sense, there are also plenty of examples where it doesn't: either because there's no clear winner in terms of trading volume or because the volume shifts significantly from one venue to another over time.

Got it, Alex. Yes, that's reasonable, but I wanted to ask anyway in case indeed there was a way but I just wasn't seeing it.

Thank you!
