Merging CRSP with Eikon IBES

Unknown

I am trying to merge CRSP and IBES through the Eikon API.

I have extracted CUSIP codes from CRSP and wants to convert those to RIC codes in order to extract analyst estimates.

When I do the following in python it returns an error (Payload Too Large) meaning I reach some datalimit. But how can the datalimit be so low? and secondly, how can I circumvent it - if that is possible?

This is my code. The list cusips have 28525 entries.

ric = ek.get_symbology(cusips,from_symbol_type="CUSIP", to_symbol_type="RIC")

@cthimsen Eikon API is an api optimized for the desktop workflows, hence the limits. The only think I can suggest is splitting your request into smaller chunks.

@Zhenya Kovalyov Thank you for your answer - I think it is a shame though that there are these limitations. Working with large datasets in excel is a pain and not very efficient either.

@cthimsen thank you very much for the feedback, i will pass it to the product owner.
