Hello @srinivasa.p
You can send the request message for the currency RIC with the following JSON message:
{
"ID":2,
"Key":{
"Name":"THB="
}
}
Or
{
"ID":2,
"Key":{
"Name":"THB=",
"Service": "<Your Service Name>"
}
}
Please find more detail about how to request data with the WebSocket API from the following resources:
- Request Data from Server
- Make a Batch Request for Multiple Items
- Filtering the Field List – specifying a View
The currency RICs are mostly in the "<Currency>=" format like the following:
- THB= --> US Dollar/Thai Bath FX Spot rate
- JPY= --> US Dollar/Japanese Yen FX Spot rate
- etc
You can find the currency RIC that you want from the RIC-Search tool page as follows.
About the "for every 30min", you may modify your application source code to sends a request message as a "snapshot" request every 30 minutes.
{
"ID":2,
"Key":{
"Name":"THB=",
"Service":"ELEKTRON_DD"
},
"Streaming":false
}
You can find the WebSocket API examples from the https://github.com/Refinitiv/websocket-api GitHub repository.
