Hi @yu.yang ,

The search API can be used (/discovery/search/v1/)

For example, the request body of an API is below, searching for RIC and the Document title of the query IBM Bonds from the Instrument view.

Search function in the RD Library can also be used

You may check the RD Library - quick start guide for more detail, an example code is also available in Codebook app inside Eikon Desktop/ Refinitiv Workspace

import refinitiv.data as rd
from refinitiv.data.content import search

rd.open_session()

response = search.Definition(
    view = search.SearchViews.INSTRUMENTS,
    query = 'IBM Bonds',
    top=100,
    select = 'RIC,DocumentTitle').get_data()
response.data.df

What is the authorization header schema for the api call? Do I just use my Eikon app key?

If you use the Refinitiv Data Libary for Python, you need to specify the Eikon App Key in the configuration file and then the library will take care of it.

Please refer to the RD Library Python examples on GitHub.
