RIC found on Eikon but not from the datascope API
We have some RIC that we can see in Eikon app (for instance USDRWFFIX), but not available through the api:
{
"ExtractionRequest": {
"@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.IntradayPricingExtractionRequest",
"ContentFieldNames": [
"RIC",
"Bid Price",
"Last Update Time",
"Instrument Snap Time",
"Security Description"
],
"IdentifierList": {
"@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.InstrumentIdentifierList",
"InstrumentIdentifiers": [
{
"Identifier": "USDRWFFIX",
"IdentifierType": "Ric"
}
]
}
}
}
Would there be any Ric that are not available through API ?

The RIC likely cannot be validated on DSS. To retrieve data, you need to add the AllowOpenAccessInstruments in the instrument validation options. Below is the sample.
{
"ExtractionRequest": {
"@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.IntradayPricingExtractionRequest",
"ContentFieldNames": [
"RIC",
"Bid Price",
"Last Update Time",
"Instrument Snap Time",
"Security Description"
],
"IdentifierList": {
"@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.InstrumentIdentifierList",
"InstrumentIdentifiers": [
{
"Identifier": "USDRWFFIX=",
"IdentifierType": "Ric"
}
],
"ValidationOptions": {
"AllowOpenAccessInstruments": true
},
"UseUserPreferencesForValidationOptions": false
}
}
}
Below is the information about the Allow Open Access Instruments option in the DSS GUI User Guide.
Hi @pierre.vigier,
I have tried to search the RIC name on Eikon and get the RIC name with '=' suffix ("USDRWFFIX=") instead. The USDRWFFIX= is available on DSS as well. Could you try the RIC?
I get the same response, but indeed, the Ric should be "USDRWFFIX="
{
"@odata.context": "https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/$metadata#Collection(ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.ExtractionRow)",
"value": [
{
"IdentifierType": "Ric",
"Identifier": "USDRWFFIX=",
"Error": "Not found"
}
]
}
INdeed, it does work, thanks!
