DSS REST API Request/Response

Hi,

My client is using both BBG and DSS and asking the question for DSS REST API request/response mechanism. They say that at BBG when they place a request they send a responseID which is valid for the same day. And they can use the same responseID for further data retrieval so that if it fails to return any data during the day they can try it and get over if a failure happened at the first time. They're asking if such a mechnasim exists for DSS REST API?

Thnx,

Serhat Gulsen

DSS REST API supports two kinds of extractions.

1. Schedule Extraction

With Schedule Extraction, users create instrument lists and report templates in the DSS server. Then, users set up a schedule by selecting an instrument list and a report template. The schedule can be executed one single time, or run on a recurring basis. Next, users can access the DSS Web GUI or use DSS REST API to download extracted files from the schedule.

2. On-Demand Extraction

With On-Demand Extraction, users send a request message that contains instrument lists and content fields to the DSS server. Then, the DSS server will process the request and return a response when the extraction is completed.

You can refer to the DSS REST API Tutorials for more information.

In case of On-Demand Extraction, what if the response fails?

If the request message is invalid, the client will get the HTTP response with the error status code, such as 400 Bad Request.

If it is the permission or quota issue, the client will see information from the Notes file. The Notes file contains information regarding an extraction.

Hi @serhat.gulsen1,

BBG and DSS aren't really comparable, since the data provided and delivery model is different. DSS is a REST API while former is not. The Realtime product that would be comparable would be either EMA API or Websockets - both of which allow sending a request once, and receiving multiple updates for that request, throughout the day. These however are different products and DSS credentials cannot be used to access it.
