Pull financial data by PermID

loy_weng

I can retrieve historical financial statement data with refinitive.data.get_history funciton by specifying universe with oa_org_permid from DataScope bankloan database.

However, for a public company like Alphabet, using the parent company's PermId returns nothing, while using GOOG.O can retrieve all the financial data.

The question is why I cannot use the Company PermID 5030853586 to retrieve Alphabet's financial data.

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I can use the following code to retrieve historical data properly.

ld.get_history(
    universe = ['5030853586'],
    fields = ['TR.ClosePrice'],
    start = '2026-01-01',
    end = '2026-01-09')

To retrieve historical data of real-time fields, such as BID and ASK
