The names can be obtained from Bloomberg using the fields

NAME_CHINESE_TRADITIONAL
NAME_CHINESE_SIMPLIFIED


How can I get these data from DSS Rest API?


Thanks.

  • Hi @Alex Chan,

    As this is directly related to content, I would suggest you contact DSS Content support via MyRefinitiv.

    Anyway, could you try the following extraction request? From my testing, the value "Local Language Display Name" field is similar to the DSPLY_NMLL (1352) of Elektron real-time data.

    //hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/Extractions/ExtractWithNotes
    {
        "ExtractionRequest": {
            "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.IntradayPricingExtractionRequest",
            "ContentFieldNames": [
                "RIC",
                "Local Language Display Name"
            ],
            "IdentifierList": {
                "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.InstrumentIdentifierList",
                "InstrumentIdentifiers": [
                    {
                        "Identifier": "0001.HK",
                        "IdentifierType": "Ric"
                    }
                ],
                "ValidationOptions":null,
                "UseUserPreferencesForValidationOptions": true
            },
            "Condition": {
                "ScalableCurrency": true
            }
        }
    }POST https:
