Block Trades fields in DataScope only available for certain Exchanges?

Hi,

I am trying to retrieve any of the "Block ..." fields in DataScope, from the CompositeExtractionRequest

But I seem to only get nulls returned, and a zero for "Block Trades Grade", for any stocks on the Australian ASX

If I run for other large stocks though, like Amazon or IBM, I do get non-null values returned

My question is, should I see the nulls returned for ASX stocks as being zero, or that DataScope does not have any of these values?

I've put my Postman script below, any help would be appreciated, thanks


{
    "ExtractionRequest": {
        "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.CompositeExtractionRequest",
        "ContentFieldNames": [
            "Block Trades",
            "Block Trades Grade",
            "Block Volume"
        ],
        "IdentifierList": {
            "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.InstrumentIdentifierList",
            "InstrumentIdentifiers": [  
                  { "Identifier": "IBM.N", "IdentifierType": "Ric" },
                { "Identifier": "AMZN.O", "IdentifierType": "Ric" },
                { "Identifier": "BHP.AX", "IdentifierType": "Ric" }, 
                { "Identifier": "ANZ.AX", "IdentifierType": "Ric" }, 
                { "Identifier": "WOW.AX", "IdentifierType": "Ric" }     
            ]
        }
    }

@Pocari Sweat

Yes, you are correct. It returns 0 and null for ASX stocks.

        {
            "IdentifierType": "Ric",
            "Identifier": "BHP.AX",
            "Block Trades": null,
            "Block Trades Grade": 0,
            "Block Volume": null
        },
        {
            "IdentifierType": "Ric",
            "Identifier": "ANZ.AX",
            "Block Trades": null,
            "Block Trades Grade": 0,
            "Block Volume": null
        },
        {
            "IdentifierType": "Ric",
            "Identifier": "WOW.AX",
            "Block Trades": null,
            "Block Trades Grade": 0,
            "Block Volume": null
        }
