How to make DSS API fetch the correct RIC from a list of 3?
I'm using DSS API dlls to fetch a list of Rics from a list of Isins.
However, the DSS API is fetching the first row from the list. But how to know if it is the right one?
My code:
var extractionRequest = new TermsAndConditionsExtractionRequest
{
IdentifierList = InstrumentIdentifierList.Create(instrumentIdentifierList, null, false),
ContentFieldNames = new[] { "RIC", "Trading Status" }
};
var extractedRows = ExtractionsContext.Extract(extractionRequest).ToArray();
What DDS API is fetching:
From Datascope Select:
In the list above, there are 3 RICs but the API is fetching only the first one.
Is this the right one?
How to know it?
From my checking, BRBMEFBGI5M6 can be mapped to the following RICs: [BGIU20, 1BGIU20, 2BGIU20].
Refer to the ISIN to RIC conversion with the DSS (DataScope Select) REST API article, TermsAndConditionsExtractionRequest can be used to retrieve a primary RIC for an ISIN.
To get all RICs for an ISIN, you need to use other endpoints, such as SearchContext.InstrumentSearch.
For example:
{
"SearchRequest": {
"InstrumentTypeGroups": [
"CollatetizedMortgageObligations", "Commodities", "Equities", "Funds",
"FuturesAndOptions", "GovCorp", "Money", "MortgageBackedSecurities",
"Municipals"
],
"IdentifierType": "Isin",
"Identifier": "BRBMEFBGI5M6",
"PreferredIdentifierType": "Ric"
}
}
The above request returns:
"value": [
{
"Identifier": "1BGIU20",
"IdentifierType": "Ric",
"Source": "BMF",
"Key": "VjF8MHgwMDEwMGIwMDFmNTYwNzg3fDB4MDAxMDBiMDAxZjU2MDc4OHxCTUZ8REVSVnxERVJWfEZVVHxEfHwxQkdJVTIwfDUwNTU",
"Description": "BGI OTFCTPL",
"InstrumentType": "Derivative",
"Status": "Valid"
},
{
"Identifier": "2BGIU20",
"IdentifierType": "Ric",
"Source": "BMF",
"Key": "VjF8MHgwMDEwMGIwMDFmNTYwNzg3fDB4MDAxMDBiMDAxZjU2MGVjMHxCTUZ8REVSVnxERVJWfEZVVHxEfHwyQkdJVTIwfDU0MTg",
"Description": "BGI OTFCTPL",
"InstrumentType": "Derivative",
"Status": "Valid"
},
{
"Identifier": "BGIU20",
"IdentifierType": "Ric",
"Source": "BMF",
"Key": "VjF8MHgwMDEwMGIwMDFmNTYwNzg3fDB4MDAxMDBiMDAxZjU2MTA4YnxCTUZ8REVSVnxERVJWfEZVVHxEfHxCR0lVMjB8NTQxOA",
"Description": "BGI OTFCTPL",
"InstrumentType": "Derivative",
"Status": "Valid"
}
]

"Refer to the ISIN to RIC conversion with the DSS (DataScope Select) REST API article, TermsAndConditionsExtractionRequest can be used to retrieve a primary RIC for an ISIN."
Article:
"A TermsAndConditionsExtractionRequest delivers for each input ISIN the primary RIC (except if you specified the source, see next section). It is also possible to retrieve the currency and exchange code.
A single call suffices for multiple ISINs."
My code:
In the line below, I'm using TermsAndConditionsExtractionRequest as mentioned in this post.
var extractionRequest = new TermsAndConditionsExtractionRequest
{
IdentifierList = InstrumentIdentifierList.Create(instrumentIdentifierList, null, false),//<- instrumentIdentifierList, validationOptions, useUserPreferencesForValidationOptions
ContentFieldNames = new[] { "RIC", "Trading Status" }
};
var extractedRows = ExtractionsContext.Extract(extractionRequest).ToArray();
However, it is not fetching for the primary RIC.
