Hope someone can help in regards to Eikon API -> Search Results Limitations

Unknown
Unknown
in Eikon Data APIs

What is the limit (if there are any) in terms of the number of returned Search results based on certain criteria? It is 2k, 5k or ? We are looking at the S&P 500 and all bonds issued by all entities. This could be around 35k instruments.

    You can get all identifiers with one request, such as this:

    it yields ~84,156 ISINs (after dropna())

    But if you like to get some underlying info on those you will have to package the codes in multiple requests. If I need 3-4 fields, I can easily have 5000 items in my request.

    Hi Zhanya, Thank you for your quick response and input! Just to confirm your answer- basically it can be done and we can use the Eikon API to extract all companies within the S&P 500 and their underlying issues? There is no limit as we have seen using Eikon for Excel? Further more- if I then want to extract some additional fields (i.e. coupon rate, maturity date) the no. of items significantly increases for my request. Thank you again!
