is there any equivalent of Rsearch in Python API?

Is there any way in which I can code the following excel formula in python?

=RSearch("EQUITY","Search:NL0000235190 ExchangeCode:FRA","NBROWS:1")

  • You can request symbols with get_symbology function :

    >>> eikon.get_symbology(["NL0000235190"], from_symbol_type="ISIN")
    ISIN OAPermID RIC SEDOL ticker
    NL0000235190 NL0000235190 4295884955 AIR.PA 4012250 AIR
  • Hi All, Isntead of ISIN can we use text like vodafone and get ISIN codes?

  • Can we use text instead of ISIN and get data like ISIN or sedol for the given text company

  • No, Symbology service can be requestd only with existing code.

    Unfortunately, there isn't the equivalent of RSearch in Python API.

  • get_symbology() only gives me primary RIC, what I need is not primary one, but one belonging to Frankfurt Stock Exchange(Exchange Code: FRA)

  • Can Symbology use old ISIN and return the current ISIN if a security has had a code change?

  • I don't think so, but if you provide an example I can check what if anything is possible.
