How to use the PermID Entity Search API

Nikki

I am trying to use the entity search API: https://developers.lseg.com/en/api-catalog/open-perm-id/permid-entity-search/documentation also available here: https://permid.org and when I make a request to the API the command hangs and never times out or returns a response.

I have tried a curl request:

curl -v https://api-eit.refinitiv.com/permid/search\?q\=ticker:LSEG\&access-token=<TOKEN>

I have tried a python request:

api_url = "https://api-eit.refinitiv.com:443/permid/search"



access_token = "<TOKEN>"



params = { "q": "ticker:LSEG", "format": "json", "access-token": access_token}


response = requests.get(api_url, params=params)

I am following the API user guide examples and have even tried the SWAGGER tutorial: https://developers.lseg.com/en/api-catalog/open-perm-id/permid-entity-search/tutorials#swagger

And I get the same hanging request without a response. Any ideas on where I may be going wrong?

@Nikki

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I can run it properly.

api_url = "https://api-eit.refinitiv.com:443/permid/search"
params = { "q": "ticker:LSEG", "format": "json", "access-token": access_token}
response = requests.get(api_url, params=params)
response.content

The issue could stem from network instability or a temporary server outage.
