Hi, how can i quickly transform yfinance ticker symbols to that of refinitiv?

For example AAPL, and some other symbols. I notice that not all of your instruments end with ".O" which makes it difficult for me to just write a function to convert yfinance symbols to that of refinitiv

    We provide a method in the Refinitiv Data Library for Python to convert tickers to RICs. 

    response = symbol_conversion.Definition(
        symbols=["AAPL","MSFT"],
        from_symbol_type=symbol_conversion.SymbolTypes.TICKER_SYMBOL,
        to_symbol_types=[
            symbol_conversion.SymbolTypes.RIC
        ],
    ).get_data()


    response.data.df

    The output is:

    You can also refer to the sample on GitHub.
