Python Websocket sent multiple batch requests but only one is accepted

I'm writing a python websoket program to get all HK equities(0001.HK to 9999.HK(main board) and 10000.HK to 99999.HK(CBBCs, warrants, CNY stocks)).

Since there's a MaxMsgSize of 65535 (per batch request I assume?). I try to sent 5 batch requests(requesting 0001.HK to 9999.HK about 1999 RICs per request) but only one batch request is accepted. As shown below

Why is that?

Thank you

Hi @tobywong

The MaxMsgSize represents the total number of bytes sent in your request. Given each item is a variable number of bytes, you will have to calculate/estimate the number of items based on a calculation. I think only 1 batch got through because it resulted in a allowable number of total bytes.

The above shows the ID of the batch requests

Thank you for reaching out to us.

It could be the limitation on the server. The server may not have enough resources to process all requested items.

Typically, the application should implement throttling which limits the number of requested items over a set time. For example, after sending the first batch, the application needs to wait for all item responses before sending the next batch request. With this method, the server could have enough reesouces to handl all requested items.

Otherwise, you can contact the server team directly via MyRefinitiv to verify what the problem is.

@nick.zincone So the MaxMsgSize is the limit for all the batch requests combined. Not 65535 bytes per batch request?

But I need to keep subscribed to the RICs for the real time update. If I wait for all item responses(but it will not end. Since it's not a snapshot) and then send the next batch request, will I unsubsribed to the previous batch of RICs?
