Finding associated ADR/GDR for instruments

Is it possible to obtain information about associated ADRs or GDRs, given a particular security? For example, given ABI.BR (ANHEUSER BUSCH INBEV NV), if I navigate to "Price & Charts", click on "All Quotes", under the DR section, I can see the related ADRs such as BUD.A, BUD.B, etc. Is it possible to obtain the same information programatically via the APIs?

  • Try

    ek.get_data('SCREEN(U(IN(Equity(active,public))/*UNV:Public*/),Contains(TR.DRUnderlyingQuoteRic,"ABI.BR"))',['TR.InstrumentDescription'])

  • Thanks Alex, this works well, I tried a few securities.

    As a corollary, is it possible to perform a "back reference lookup"? So in other words, if I have BUD.N, can I back out into ABI.BR?

  • Yes, you can:

    ek.get_data('BUD.N',['TR.DRUnderlyingQuoteRic'])
  • Thanks that works also!
