Using Tickers as IdentifierType in an EOD Extraction request

Brian.Dunlevy

Client:

I was trying to use ticker in the instrument list for EndOfDayPricingExtractionRequest because I was using the api reference tree and saw Ticker as one of the Identifier Types in the Instrument Identifier List. Can you let me know if this documentation is outdated?

This is what I have for querying by ticker and source:

{
"ExtractionRequest": {
"@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.EndOfDayPricingExtractionRequest",
"ContentFieldNames": [

"RIC",
"Security Description",
"Ticker",
"Trading Status",
"Trading Symbol",
"Underlying RIC",
],
"IdentifierList": {
"@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.InstrumentIdentifierList",
"InstrumentIdentifiers": [
{'Identifier': 'AAPL', 'IdentifierType': 'Ticker', 'Source': 'NSM'},
{'Identifier': 'IBM', 'IdentifierType': 'Ticker', 'Source': 'NSM'}
]
},
"Condition": None
}
}

However, I keep getting this error:

@{'@odata.context': 'https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/$metadata#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.ExtractionResult', 'Contents': [{'IdentifierType': 'Ticker', 'Identifier': 'AAPL', 'Error': 'Not found'}, {'IdentifierType': 'Ticker', 'Identifier': 'IBM', 'Error': 'Not found'}], 'Notes': ['All identifiers were invalid. No extraction performed.']}

I think IdentifierType = Ticker is only supported when using Historical Search or Instrument Search, and not in the extraction calls.

For a definitive answer, please raise a content support ticket at MyRefinitiv.

Thanks Gurpreet. That's what I thought too, but it was pointed out to me that it is showing as an option in the API reference tree for the Extraction calls too.
