looking for documentation on how to generate RIC's for a variety of securities, including but not limited to: ETF options, futures, and futures options. Our objective is to be able to programmatically generate RIC symbols for an entire derivatives surface at a time given input data such as strike price, call put flag, expiration date, underlier, etc.

Is there an API available that we can use to query this, if not is there a ruleset documentation we can have to write the code to generate the RIC symbols ourselves?

Hi @Yrag ,

I'm afraid that there is no such API. Dr. Aramyan wrote this article, which goes through the rules for onew RIC type (Options), but not all.:

Outside of this article, please note that this LSEG Developer Q&A Forum is for LSEG API technical questions only. Since there is no API for the asked purpose; I'm afraid that your demand is content-related. For content questions such as yours, please use myaccount.lseg.com.

LSEG helpdesk pointed me to this symbology API to accomplish this task, but clicking the link to the documentation gives an error 404 page.

How can I access the documentation for this API?

@abdiat

Typically, the symbology API is used to convert identifier types, such as converting ISINs to RICs.

The documents are here.

There are rules used to generate RICs. You can use the Quote App on Workspace to open RIC Rules (RULES1).
