Tick History API Key

Hello,
Need help with a query from a Tick HIstory client.
I have just detected the below, and just wanted to confirm the keys are always unique and never change?:
• I’ve found Future contract Milling Wheat has two chain ric codes historically with the same name, one upper case, and the second lower case:
o 0#BL2:
looks to be Milling Wheat EURO
Historical API “key” returned: VjF8MHgzMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwfDB4MzAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMHx8fHx8fHwwI0JMMjp8
o 0#bl2:
looks to be Milling Wheat FRF
Historical API “key” returned: VjF8MHgzMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwfDB4MzAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMHx8fHx8fHwwI2JsMjp8
o My question is can I use the API “key” returned here to always distinguish the uniqueness between the historical chain ric “Identifier”? Do these “key” values ever chain/update?

Hello @praveen.rangaiah0 ,
To address your question, we have confirmed that "the key information is retrieved from the source as part of Tick History HistoricalSearch which is assigned to an instrument and this will not get changed."
Hope this information helps

Hello @praveen.rangaiah0 ,
HistoricalSearch result keys are unique:
From HistoricalSearch request you can also confirm, when each of the instruments that are found by the search are/were valid:
{{protocol}}{{host}}{{api}}Search/HistoricalSearch
{
"Request": {
"Identifier": "0#bl2:",
"IdentifierType": "ChainRIC",
"Range": {
"Start": "1996-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
"End": "2021-12-31T00:00:00.000Z"
}
}
}Resulting in:
"@odata.context": "https://selectapi.datascope.refinitiv.com/RestApi/v1/$metadata#Collection(DataScope.Select.Api.Search.HistoricalSearchResult)",
"value": [
{
"Identifier": "0#BL2:",
"IdentifierType": "ChainRIC",
"Source": "",
"Key": "VjF8MHgzMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwfDB4MzAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMHx8fHx8fHwwI0JMMjp8",
"Description": "Historical Chain",
"InstrumentType": "Unknown",
"Status": "Valid",
"DomainCode": "6",
"FirstDate": "1998-02-03T00:00:00.000Z",
"LastDate": "2021-11-14T00:00:00.000Z",
"History": []
},
{
"Identifier": "0#bl2:",
"IdentifierType": "ChainRIC",
"Source": "",
"Key": "VjF8MHgzMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwfDB4MzAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMHx8fHx8fHwwI2JsMjp8",
"Description": "Historical Chain",
"InstrumentType": "Unknown",
"Status": "Valid",
"DomainCode": "6",
"FirstDate": "1998-12-04T00:00:00.000Z",
"LastDate": "2000-09-02T00:00:00.000Z",
"History": []
}
]
}Therefore, these keys can always be used to distinguish between the results returned by the HistoricalSearch request.
The part of your question of whether the keys are guaranteed to stay the same for the same instrument, or ever update, we am going to research further and get back to you on.
