RIC Expansion differences between TRTH Web and DataServices API
- 0#USAFLRRPS1 expands to 8 instruments via TRTH web but 10 instruments via TRTH Data Services
- 0#USRPBB-ADT1 expands to 10 instruments via TRTH web but 12 instruments via TRTH Data Services
RRPSHRD1(FID800) and RRPSBONDS(FID 801) from the chains 0#USAFLRRPS1 and 0#USRPBB-ADT1 unfortunately cannot be removed as they are required to be on the chain for the convenience of desktop users.
From the above desktop snapshot, if you observe RRPSBONDS in 801, it helps desktop users to navigate back to the parent speed guide page. And RRPSHRD1 strings all the labels such as Issue, Coupon, Maturity etc together. In absence of FID 801 these labels will not be seen. There's a purpose for their existence and it can't be removed. RRPSHRD1(FID800) and RRPSBONDS(FID 801) are pages and not RICS. Now GUI shows them as invalid as GUI verifies the chain and only updates its corresponding RICS on the instrument list page. The API on the other hand (unlike GUI which has a dedicated speedguide page option) also includes the SpeedGuide page in its expansion. This is the reason as to why you view the above RICS Thus my suggestion would be for you to ignore these instruments while requesting for data.
