How can I transcode from normal RIC to delisted RIC so that I can query the price?

Hi Team,

I am writing on behalf of Mr. Max Zhu. How can he transcode from normal RIC to delisted RIC so that he can query the price?

"For example, for PEUP.PA I need to transcode to PEUP.PA^A21. In order to do that, I need to query the delist date. Can you advise how to query the delist date? Is there an attribute I can use with get_data?"

Hi @pearl.techico

I think you can use TR.RetireDate field to get the delist date.

Hi @pearl.techico

I would like to add more information.

The suffix format is

^<month><year>

month is A, B, C, D, ... , L (Jan to Dec)

So PEUP.PA delisted in January 2021.

So the delist RIC is PEUP.PA^A21

This doesn't seem always work. eg, '000030.KS'

Hi @Max.Zhu

I think 000030.KS is not a valid RIC anymore so you cannot pass it to the get_data()

The workaround is to search for it.

#pip install refinitiv.dataplatform

import refinitiv.dataplatform as rdp
rdp.open_desktop_session('xxxxxxxxx')

rdp.search(query="000030.KS",filter = "startswith(RIC,'000030.KS')")

Max.Zhu

hmmm is this the same Eikon access token I should put in?

also I don't understand why things need to be handled differently? Under what circumstance a RIC will be considered `invalid`?

rdp.open_desktop_session('xxxxxxxxx')

Hi @Max.Zhu

You can use the same app key as Eikon Data API.

I am not a content expert but I can say that the RIC is considered invalid if it does not exist in the system.

In this case 000030.KS does not exist in the system anymore.

A simple API call can verify this:

However, if you need to clarify when the RIC after delisted will become invalid, you can contact the content helpdesk to get the clarification.

surely 000030.KS still exists in the system because 000030.KS^B19 is still working.... but sure I will raise to support
