Hi Refinitiv Support,
I would like to be able to get individual Rics from chain RIC and also be able to get instrument description from a RIC.
The question is which API should I use?
Does the DataScope select API or other REST API supports this or is there a web UI I can use? Please advise.
Regards,
Jude
Hi @josa
Please advise what Refintiv services/products you already have access to if any.
Also, when you say instrument description - is the content of the DSPLY_NAME field sufficient or do you require something more verbose perhaps?
The answers to the above will help guide your possible choices
Thanks @Umer_Nalla. I currently have access to EMA API. Yes, DISPLY_NAME would be enough and am sure I can get it via teh API.
Regards,
Jude
Hi @josa
Apologies but some of the forum emails were being marked as spam by my Outlook and I just saw your follow up question.
Yes, you can use EMA APIs to consume Chains and their constituents.

Whilst it is Java-based, the techniques described will work just as well with EMA C++
