GIC Sector data

2 part question.

  1. Is there a way to return the SIC code with the GICSector/GicGroup/GicIndustry/GICSubIndustry, when retrieving a company’s financials? Trying to match on name is going to potentially be a problem.
  2. Is it possible to get an API of all the GIC Sector/GicGroup/GicIndustry/GicSubIndustries, that you have, so we can reference them properly?

Thank You.

And for that matter, do you have values for some of the other fields for a security? like Type, what are the valid possible types?

In the Fundamental API, only GICS names are available, without corresponding codes. We do not provide a full list of GICS classifications, but they align with those found on Wikipedia. Global Industry Classification Standard - Wikipedia

The instrument type is specified in the Exchanges API. Here are the possible types:

  • INDEX
  • Common Stock
  • ETF
  • FUND
  • Currency
  • Preferred Stock
  • Notes
  • BOND
  • Mutual Fund

Would it be possible to include the gic codes as well as the name. Most data providers i’ve worked with do that. It’s highly error prone if I have to match the name, which I’m forced to do right now. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion; we will consider it.

Do you provide historical gics data?
