    Refer to the product overview, the APIs provide access to the following content sets:

    • News
    • Price time series
    • Symbology conversion
    • Fundamental and reference data

    It doesn't provide a search functionality.

    Currently, you can use Screener with Eikon Data API. However, it is not yet officially supported by Eikon Data API.

    Screener can provide the list of RICs by Country of Exchange. The snippet code is:

    screener_exp = 'SCREEN(U(IN(Equity(active,public,primary))/*UNV:Public*/), IN(TR.ExchangeCountryCode,"CA"))'
    companies_data, err = ek.get_data(instruments=[screener_exp], fields=['TR.RIC'])
    companies_data

    Awesome, great!

    Two more things:

    1) How or where do I find the country codes?

    2) What if I wanted to add TR.CompanyMarketCap > 25000000 ?

    Thanks in advance!
