Question by abdiat · Apr 27 at 08:09 PM · datastream-apiricschain-ricdatastream

pydatastream getting RIC from datastream Mnemonic

In Excel's datastream plugin, I have to look up data by datastream mnemonics, and as part of the information available I see the RIC as well. Is there a way to programmatically grab a RIC for a given mnemonic using pydatastream, or another package??

Hi @abdiat,

Let me see if I can be of any help, would you mind sharing a few mnemonics for which I should look for corresponding RICs?

Thank you for your help. Some examples are S&PCOMP, CBOEVIX, VIX050810C, and CVX0206.

Hi @abdiat,

Yes, it's possible to get RICs for the given mnemonics. Please find the code below:


import DatastreamDSWS as DSWS
ds = DSWS.Datastream(username ="*****", password='*****')
ds.get_data (tickers="S&PCOMP,CBOEVIX,VIX050810C,CVX0206", fields=['RIC'], kind=0)

Below is the output of the above code:

Also, please note for VIX050810C we don't have any RIC in the above output, I checked and can't find any match for it on DataStream Portal as well. Below is the attached screenshot:
