ISIN to WKN (Wertpapier)?

Hello,

if I have a list of ISIN numbers in Excel, is it possible to get them as WKN (securities identification number in Germany)?

Thank you very much!

    You can try the search.lookup function in the Refinitiv Data Library for Python.

    response = search.lookup.Definition(
        view=search.Views.SEARCH_ALL,      
        scope="ISIN",
        terms="DE0007164600,DE0007236101",
        select="BusinessEntity,DocumentTitle,Wert",
    ).get_data()


    response.data.df

  • Hi @dataroom01 ,


    I have tried to get the available symbols for SAP (DE0007164600) using RD Libraries for Python before, however we doesn't seem to have the WKN code there.

    import refinitiv.data as rd
    from refinitiv.data.discovery import convert_symbols
    rd.open_session()
    response = convert_symbols(
    symbols="DE0007164600",
    )
    response

    Also I have tried to look for all possible values for to_symbol_types, however couldn't find the one you were after.
