How to get all items from result of search request

Hi,

Could you please help me to get a collection of all ValidatedInstrument are returned by search request.

My code:

SearchContext.Preferences.MaxPageSize = null;
EquitySearchRequest request = EquitySearchRequest.Create(
	null, //Sub types
	null, //Asset categories
	null, //Company name
	null, //Currency codes
	null, //Description
	null, //Domiciles codes
	null, //Fair value indicator
	new[] { "NYS" }, //Exchange codes
	null, //GICs codes
	null, //File codes
	null, //Org identifier
	null, //Asset status
	null, //Ticker
	IdentifierType.Ric, //Identifier types
	null, //Identifier
	IdentifierType.Ric);
IDssEnumerable<ValidatedInstrument> results = SearchContext.EquitySearch(request);
var list = new List<ValidatedInstrument>();
list.AddRange(results); // adds 250 items
while (results.HasNextPage)
{
	results = SearchContext.EquitySearch(results.NextLink); // throws exception
	list.AddRange(results);
}

I'm not sure that my code is correct, because it wtitten in different style as, for example, to collect instrument lists:

internal static List<InstrumentList> GetInstrumentLists(this ExtractionsContext context)
{
	var result = new List<InstrumentList>();
	var list = context.InstrumentListOperations.GetAll(); // get the first page of instrument lists (default page size is 250)
	do
	{
		result.AddRange(list);
		list = (list.HasNextPage ? context.InstrumentListOperations.GetAll(list.NextLink) : null); // goto next page in loop to retrieve all instrument lists
	}
	while (list != null);
	return result;
}

because I can't find any *Operations method in the SearchContext.

RestAPI client v.11.2.662.0.

Thanks!

The pagination isn’t working correctly with the EquitySearch endpoint.

The current behavior is that if you want to request the next page, you also need to include the original request body in the post request, or else you’ll get back a 400 error. However, even if you send the search request in the body, then the next page will return the original 250 instruments + the next 250 instruments, giving you duplicates if you’re storing each page.

The temporary workaround for this is to increase the max page size such that all instruments are returned within a single page.

This issue should be fixed in v12.

Hi @Siarhei,

I have found the same exception. It seems that the EquitySearchRequest is required for requesting next page. However, I cannot find any interfaces to pass both EquitySearchRequest and nextLink parameters too.

Please contact DSS support
team via the Raise A
Case,selecting product "Reuters DataScope Select".

Thanks Warat! I already tested my code without use pagination and looks like it works fine when I set, for example:

SearchContext.Preferences.MaxPageSize = 100000;

I got over 87,000 instruments in some cases and it surpassed my expectations (50,000 returned in the DSS site GUI).

Note: V12 was released on 23 April 2018.
