Downloading data for historical ric SHY using REST api

Sorcha

Hi,

I am lookign to get data for identified SHY which is an old version of SHY.O.

I am using the REST api:ThompsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractins.ExtractionRequests.TickHistoryTimeAndSalesExtractionRequest. However, I am getting an identifier not found. If I go to the datascope website and create the report there data returns.

Does anyone know what I am, going wrong?

Thanks,

Sorcha

Hello @Sorcha,

If you are looking to request with the old version of RIC, including ValidationOptions clause may be what's missing, for example:

{
  "ExtractionRequest": {
    "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.TickHistoryTimeAndSalesExtractionRequest",
    "ContentFieldNames": [
          "Trade - Price",
          "Trade - Volume",
          "Trade - Exchange Time"
    ],
    "IdentifierList": {
      "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.InstrumentIdentifierList",  
      "ValidationOptions": {
            "AllowHistoricalInstruments": true
            },
            "UseUserPreferencesForValidationOptions": false,
      "InstrumentIdentifiers": [{
        "Identifier": "SHY",
        "IdentifierType": "Ric"
      }]
    },
    "Condition": {
      "MessageTimeStampIn": "GmtUtc",
      "ApplyCorrectionsAndCancellations": false,
      "ReportDateRangeType": "Range",
      "QueryStartDate": "2016-04-01T00:00:00.000Z",
      "QueryEndDate": "2016-04-04T12:00:00.000Z",
      "DisplaySourceRIC": true
    }
  }
}

otherwise only currently valid identifiers will be included in the results, which may not be what you are looking for?
