​
Overview

The get_securities tool resolves one or more exact security identifiers to issuer/company records from the Bigdata.com Knowledge Graph. This tool is designed for precise identifier resolution when you already have a CUSIP, ISIN, SEDOL, or exchange listing code. The tool automatically infers identifier type based on format:
  • Length 12 → ISIN
  • Length 9 → CUSIP
  • Length 7 → SEDOL
  • Contains ”:” → LISTING (e.g., XNAS:AAPL)
Use this tool when you have exact identifiers and need to resolve them to security records. For fuzzy name or theme searches, use find_securities instead.
