The “Search Light” family of APIs is part of the Refinitiv Data Platform for Wealth Management, enabling API users to search for a wide range of organisations, instruments, quotes and economic indicators.

Key features include:

• Freeform (Google-like) quick search
• Extensive filtering and ranking control
• Faceted navigation
• Views to limit searches to a subset of content
• Thousands of properties
• Lookup service for resolving large numbers of symbols
• Metadata service to see what properties are available and what features they support
• Health service, so that client apps can monitor a searchlight API dependency

Currently this API covers over:

• 80 million quotes
• 8 million instruments
• 11 million organisations
