Equity Search API

spdesai38

We are using the following way to get the RICs on an exchange:

url:
https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/Search/EquitySearch

request:

{"SearchRequest":{"SubTypeCodes":["ODSH"],"AssetCategoryCodes":null,"CompanyName":null,"CurrencyCodes":null,"Description":null,"DomicileCodes":null,"FairValueIndicator":null,"ExchangeCodes":["FRA"],"GicsCodes":null,"FileCodes":null,"OrgId":null,"AssetStatus":"Active","IdentifierType":null,"Identifier":null,"PreferredIdentifierType":"Ric"}}

What do
we mean by the FairValueIndicator?

We
need to send 5 such requests since we need data for more SubTypeCodes as the
current API does not support multiple SubTypeCodes. Is there a plan to support
multiple SubTypeCodes in one request?

Please
confirm whether the above API is deprecated or not
and whether it is fine to use this API for future.

How do we differentiate between a STOCK and an ETF? For example

IBM.P, WETF.P, FFIV.P, DDR_pk.P are STOCKS.

THRK.P, FKO.P are ETF. Would you be able to provide us a query/filter which will help us get only STOCKS and only ETFs in the response from TRTH.

Q. What do we mean by the FairValueIndicator?

A. An indication that the Equity has a "Fair Value".

What is 'Fair Value'

Fair value is defined as a sale price agreed to by a willing buyer and seller, assuming both parties enter the transaction freely. Many investments have a fair value determined by a market where the security is traded. Fair value also represents the value of a company’s assets and liabilities when a subsidiary company’s financial statements are consolidated with a parent company.
