Client raised a question. I have a question, I built a C# tool that was able to Open the refinitiv eikon quote window, if i supplied it a RIC. See code below. I now was switched to Workspace. What would be the equivalent in here to
"reuters://REALTIME/verb=Chart/ric=AAPL.OQ" ? What would be the equivalent to open a chart window fo rthe current session on the level tick?

// Reuters flags and URL

string flags = "-iebrg -a";

string reutersUrl = "";

if ("QUOTE".Equals(reutersCommand.ToUpper()))

{

reutersUrl = $"reuters://REALTIME/verb=FullQuote/ric={symbol}";

}

else if ("CHART".Equals(reutersCommand.ToUpper()))

{

//reutersUrl = $"reuters://REALTIME/verb=Chart/ric={symbol}?range=2D&interval=tick";

reutersUrl = $"reuters://REALTIME/verb=Chart/ric={symbol}&range=2D";

}


// Combine flags and URL as a single argument string

string arguments = $"{flags} \"{reutersUrl}\"";


// Start the process with the executable and arguments

ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo

{

FileName = reutersExe, // Full path to Reuters executable

Arguments = arguments, // Arguments passed to the executable

UseShellExecute = false, // Required for explicit executable start

CreateNoWindow = true, // Optional: prevent creating a new console window

};


// Start the process

Process.Start(psi);

Client would like to see the API description of this code.

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Please check the answer on this question.

    I found that it relates to a custom URL protocol on Windows.

    You need to contact the Workspace product team directly via MyAccount regarding this functionality.

    Hi @Jirapongse good day. Thank you so much for replying back to us.

    Actually, the product team advised to check this with Devportal team as we do not support the C# tool within Workspace. Seeking for your kind assistance on what can description we can provide to the client? Thank you so much!

    According to the question, it doesn't relate the C# code.

    The client is asking for the "reuters://" format to open a chart application.

    For example, if you copy and paste the following URL on a Web browser, it will open the Quote app on the Workspace. 

    reuters://REALTIME/verb=FullQuote/ric=IBM.N

    You can also run the following command in the command prompt to open the Quote app. 

    C:\Users\U8009686\AppData\Local\Refinitiv\Refinitiv Workspace>RefinitivWorkspace.exe "reuters://REALTIME/verb=FullQuote/ric=IBM.N"

    I think the client would to do the same thing with the Chart app but the client doesn't know the URL format.

    This is a feature in the LSEG Workspace, please contact the Workspace support team to provide the URL format to the client.
