Why isnt there support to search for a security by ISIN code both in the app and via API? It seems so much more precise than symbol and market code.

The import process is very limiting as it only accepts the ticker ID and market code. Accepting ISIN is a must as it is an industry standard.

Thanks for your feedback. We will further investigate the possibility of accepting the ISIN code for all the supported instruments at Sharesight.
