Mapping figi to website #28

Closed benjamine closed 4 years ago

benjamine commented 4 years ago

Is there any example mapping a figi code to the company website/homepage/url?

jayflo commented 4 years ago

Not that I know of. You can look at what the API returns on the docs here: https://www.openfigi.com/api#post-v2-mapping . How one would use that to determine the issuing company's website for an arbitrary FIGI is not clear.

@jayflo right, I'm trying to go from figi to website, as I see it here for example https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/BYND:US So I supposed there should be an API to get that field, unless that requires maybe a 2nd request to another API?

jayflo commented 4 years ago

I'm not aware of any (public/free) API that will do this. Also, I think it has been discussed whether the API should return a "business code" to link a FIGI to a company, but my impression was that this relationship would not be provided by the OpenFIGI API.

For more information, please feel free to contact the OpenFIGI business team via https://www.openfigi.com/feedback
