Data unavailable (Error 616) when accessing Fundamentals APIs for multiple instruments

Hello,

In Searchlight, the identifiers for the following instruments (and many others) are visible.Also, when using the /data/estimates/ API, both quarterly and annual estimates and actuals are retrieved successfully.

However, when trying to access data from Fundamentals APIs (such as income-statement or organization/company-info), these instruments consistently return an error with code 616.

Example identifiers tested (not limited to these):

  • RIC: USEG.O or USEG.OQ
  • Organization PermID: 5006577902
  • Instrument PermID: 8590923181
  • Quote PermID: 55839395639

In all such cases, the response is as follows:

{"error": {"code": 616,"description": "Data unavailable for the instrument(s) within your subscription"}}

Could you clarify why this happens?

  • Is it due to subscription or entitlement limitations on my account?
  • Or are these instruments outside the data coverage for Fundamentals?

If possible, please provide guidance on how to resolve this or whether there is any workaround.

Thank you.

  • One more clarification request:

    The instrument in question (e.g., USEG.O, listed on NASDAQ) still results in these errors (616 for financial statements, 420 for company-info).

    Since this is a NASDAQ-listed company, could you confirm why Fundamentals data is not provided?

    Is it excluded from coverage despite being an exchange-listed company?

    {
      "error": {
        "code": 420,
        "description": "The requested data is not available for the given instrument(s)"
      }
    }

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    This could be content questions that need to be verified by the content support team. Please share the code that you are using so we can check if this problem in the API or coding.

    I checked the Income Statement page in the Overview APP (USEG.OQ OV).

    You should be able to retrieve those values by calling the get_data method with the TR.xxx field. For example:

    ld.get_data("USEG.OQ","TR.F.GROSSPROFINDPROPTOT")

    Otherwise, you can use the Data Item Browser tool to search for fields and parameters.
