RIC found on Eikon but not from the datascope API

Options

We have some RIC that we can see in Eikon app (for instance USDRWFFIX), but not available through the api:

{
  "ExtractionRequest": {
    "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.IntradayPricingExtractionRequest",
    "ContentFieldNames": [
      "RIC",
      "Bid Price",
      "Last Update Time",
      "Instrument Snap Time",
      "Security Description"
    ],
    "IdentifierList": {
      "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.InstrumentIdentifierList",
      "InstrumentIdentifiers": [
        {
          "Identifier": "USDRWFFIX",
          "IdentifierType": "Ric"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Would there be any Ric that are not available through API ?

    The RIC likely cannot be validated on DSS. To retrieve data, you need to add the AllowOpenAccessInstruments in the instrument validation options. Below is the sample.

    {
      "ExtractionRequest": {
        "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.IntradayPricingExtractionRequest",
        "ContentFieldNames": [
          "RIC",
          "Bid Price",
          "Last Update Time",
          "Instrument Snap Time",
          "Security Description"
        ],
        "IdentifierList": {
          "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.InstrumentIdentifierList",
          "InstrumentIdentifiers": [
            {
              "Identifier": "USDRWFFIX=",
              "IdentifierType": "Ric"
            }
          ],
           "ValidationOptions": {
                "AllowOpenAccessInstruments": true
           },
           "UseUserPreferencesForValidationOptions": false
        }
      }
    }

    Below is the information about the Allow Open Access Instruments option in the DSS GUI User Guide.
