How to get RIC value currency using instrument search in rest api?
I use:
var results = extractionsContext.InstrumentSearch( IdentifierType.Isin, CodeISIN, new[] { InstrumentTypeGroup.CollatetizedMortgageObligations, InstrumentTypeGroup.Commodities, InstrumentTypeGroup.Equities, InstrumentTypeGroup.FuturesAndOptions, InstrumentTypeGroup.GovCorp, InstrumentTypeGroup.MortgageBackedSecurities, InstrumentTypeGroup.Money, InstrumentTypeGroup.Municipals, InstrumentTypeGroup.Funds }, IdentifierType.Ric, //Preferred identifier 10000); //Max results
But this search returns several rics with same ISIN and Source - they have different value currencies. If I want preferably nominal currency what should I do? I've read answer about using Historical search to get currency - I think it is very bad idea - It is consuming a lot of time - and such query costs money for my company.
@ifetisov,
An InstrumentSearch does not allow you to filter results by currency, and I'm not aware of a way to request results that only include the nominal currency.
But if you know the asset class and the currency, other search calls allow that:
Would that help ?
