...tractWithNotes without taking so much time
I am trying to download reference history for futures option contracts. I was using this REST API:
https://selectapi.datascope.refinitiv.com/RestApi/v1/Search/ReferenceHistory
It was recommended that I change to use https://selectapi.datascope.refinitiv.com/RestApi/v1/Extractions/ExtractWithNotes with
DataScope.Select.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.HistoricalReferenceExtractionRequest.
This new method is much better, the data is far superior.
However, this new method is very, very slow. With the old method an expansion of the rich chain takes less than one minute.
With the new method it takes 10's of minutes, if not hours. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if there is a problem at the LSEG end?
I have attached a sample request and reply file.
Here is the notes file:

As you can see the processing was only 5 minutes but the start/completion times indicate 1h 26m for the request.
I would like to use this method but with 235 chains to expand the processing times are excessive.
