Query an instrument using its SEDOL / RIC

micycle1 opened this issue · comments

Is it possible to fetch data of an instrument using its SEDOL or RIC field? ISIN and Mnemonic seem to work with DS.fetch(), but querying based on other fields (like SEDOL and RIC) do not -- is this a limitation of the library or the API?

It should be possible, but I suspect that you would need a special query string for that. Once you have a string, you could simply use it in the fetch method.

Unfortunately I could not consult you on this, as I’ve never used it. Please ask the support of Reginitiv.

For RICs, they can be enclosed with < and > and then searched as normal, e.g. <AAPL.O>.
