Question on Using File DCNs to Retrieve Metadata Programmatically

Ziye

May I ask how to use file DCNs to programmatically retrieve the corresponding metadata for those files — specifically fields such as document date, RIC, and report type? Is there any sample code or recommended approach for accessing this information?

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

What is DCNs?

Thank you for your response.

I am using the Advanced Filing Search to download sustainability reports. A DCN (Document Control Number) is a unique identifier assigned to a specific document stored in Refinitiv’s system, such as a 2022 ESG report from a particular company.

I have attached a screenshot for your reference.
