Not being able to get the desired response from the CommoditySearch request.

We are not being able to get the response from the following request as provided in the screenshot. Can you please assist in creating the correct request to get the correct list of the recs for the CommoditySearch request? As directed, we tried requesting the list of 'NGMM' RICs but the response is empty.

Hello @RIkesh

I am not sure if you are searching for a commodity or Chain. The correct chain RIC is 0#NGMM:, and you can use the Historical Chain Resolution endpoint to get the constituents.

"Request": {
  "@odata.context": "http://selectapi.datascope.refinitiv.com/RestApi.Help/$metadata#DataScope.Select.Api.Search.HistoricalChainResolutionRequest",
  "ChainRics": ["0#NGMM:"],
  "Range": {
    "Start": "2025-05-20T00:00:00.000Z",
    "End": "2025-05-30T00:00:00.000Z"
  }
}

Searching for a commodity, the request we have been utilizing from the beginning, which was functioning effectively, is:

{

    "SearchRequest": {

        "KeywordQuery": "NGMM",

        "ExpirationDate": {

            "@odata.type": "#DataScope.Select.Api.Search.DateRangeComparison",

            "From": "2025-03-10T00:00:00.000Z",

            "To": "2026-05-20T00:00:00.000Z"

        },

        "PreferredIdentifierType": "Ric",

        "AssetStatus": "Active"


    }

}

But this request now does not return the desired commodities (Identifiers), it was suggested to use the chain rics. Is it correct to use chain RICs or the same request as above (commoditySearch) to get the identifier lists?

LSEG MyAccount is the best resource to ask the question related to data content.

@Gurpreet, can you please provide a sample request for the commoditySearch using the 'chain ric' key in the request body.

The API supports the Search/HistoricalChainResolution that can resolve historical chains. For example:

{

  "Request": {

    "ChainRics": [

      "0#NGMM:"

    ],

    "Range": {

      "Start": "2025-05-20T00:00:00.000Z",

      "End": "2025-05-29T00:00:00.000Z"

    }

  }

}

For the commoditySearch, please contact the product support team directly via MyAccount. The support team can provide you with a sample request.
