Discovery Symbology API-Datsatream macro economic identifiers
One of user is asking, The Discovery Symbology API (image below) is designed precisely to map between different identifiers (RIC, ISIN, CUSIP, PermID, etc.) and supports an internal identifier called DatastreamId among the “LSEG specific and heritage identifiers.” So this works for Equities / ETF and similar. Please…

Issues with Symbology API lookup calls when data set exceeds around 100-200 items
Case 15682386 "We've recently added ~500 new cusips into our universe which we use to fetch market data. It now seems like the /discovery/symbology/v1/lookup call to map cusips to RIC's is now timing out at around 100-200 cusips. Is there a limit on how many cusips we can query for, and if so what is that limit?"

Is it possible, from the ISIN code, to get the primary RIC code ?
I use a Python code to export into Excel some Data from your StarMine Model. I use the ISIN code as identifier. Unfortunately, there is an issue with Ferrovial (ISIN = NL0015001FS8). I think the right RIC to use is FER.MC. Is it possible, from the ISIN code, to get the primary RIC code ? I guess it may help me on this…

Missing ISIN/CUSIP/SEDOL from ld.get_data even though identifiers appear in Workspace (example: VSSL
Hi, I’m using the LSEG Data Library for Python to retrieve instrument identifiers (ISIN, CUSIP, SEDOL, etc.) from RICs as part of a global equity mapping pipeline. For most instruments, this works well. However, for a subset of equities the API does not return all identifiers, even though they are clearly visible in…

Symbology: SEDOL → RIC returns null in Python, but Workspace finds a RIC (ETF holdings use SEDOL)

I’m using the Python Eikon/Workspace API. What works / what doesn’t In Workspace (desktop), if I search by SEDOL I can see the security and its RIC. In…
