Due to licensing restrictions, the OpenAPI is not permitted to distribute ISIN identifiers, as these are considered market data and require additional configuration (only available to partners).
Instead, Saxo Bank uses a Universal Instrument Code, or UIC, to uniquely identify instruments. In case you are looking to map a known list of ISINs against our UICs, the /instruments endpoint under reference data allows for ISIN lookups. For instance, in order to find the UIC corresponding to Apple Inc. ISIN US0378331005, the bellow request should be sent. Note that we are specifically querying for the NASDAQ listing of this ISIN, and the corresponding UIC ("Identifier") is 211.
