Issuer Rating in REST API

lukasz.ossowski

Hi Team,

When performing a request on ratings data with the use of DSS REST API (as per attachment), I receive the below reponse:

IssuerID="0x0000fa0010c1c5ee"
AssetID=NULL
IssuerWatchSourceCode="MOC"
IssuerWatchEffectiveDate=NULL
IssuerOutlookSourceCode="MOC"
IssuerOutlookEffectiveDate=NULL
IssuerRatingSourceCode="MOC"
IssuerRatingEffectiveDate=2/28/2018 12:00:00 AM
IssueWatchSourceCode=NULL
IssueWatchEffectiveDate=NULL
IssueOutlookSourceCode=NULL
IssueOutlookEffectiveDate=NULL
IssueRatingSourceCode=NULL
IssueRatingEffectiveDate=NULL
IssuerOrgID="10436"
ISIN=NULL
CUSIP=NULL
SEDOL=NULL
Valoren=NULL
Wertpapier=NULL
RIC=NULL
SICC=NULL

As you can see, some of the Issue fields return no data. I know that when you set up Rating report template, you need to define a rating level (whether you are looking for Issuer or Issue ratings)

. Shall I specify that in the my request as well? If yes, how the command line should look like?

Thank you,

Lukasz

Hi,

I'm not familiar with the request message you provided. Is the request used internally by your application?

From the request, it seems that Entity is used as identifier with Ratings report template. DSS REST API has "RatingLevel" condition to specify raging level.

"Condition": { "RatingLevel": { "IsIssue": false, "IsIssuer": true }, 

However, according to DSS Usage Guide document, the Ratings report templates can be used with both instrument and entity lists. Entity lists can be used for retrieving issuer-level ratings only. If this is the case, I would suggest you contact DSS support team for further information.
