DSS REST API - Entity/Instrument List automated update
Question about DSS REST API for a client, whose universe of Legal Entities is changing on a baily basis. Although it refers to EntityList specifically, but the same applies to InstrumentList.
Client is not happy with the fact that when using REST API, he has to build a new EntityList for every API call. Instead, he would like to insert an EntityList ID into API request/call – this list would be updated on a daily basis. So he would like to use a similar mechanism as with FTP, where the list of instruments/entities is updated on client’s server and linked to DSS schedule.
Is there a way that within the request (API call) the user can point to ‘EntityList’ Id, instead of having to build the standard request (API call) with all the entity Ids enumerated within?
Hello @aleksandra.kluczniak_refinitiv,
Can we please confirm, which part fails for the client?
They are using scheduled extraction request, not on demand ad-hoc, right?
They have created an EntityList?
They are submitting ListId of their EntityList into Schedule->Create?
They update EntityList?
Please provide any details that are relevant to better understand the issue,
Thanks
Below an example, the training reference are the 2 links below:
ReplaceAllWithIdentifiersWithOptions https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi.Help/Context/Operation?ctx=Extractions&ent=EntityList&opn=ReplaceAllWithIdentifiersWithOptions
Example:
I created an entity list named Aleksandra_Entities:
First get the entity List ID by making a GET on:
answer is:
{
"@odata.context": "https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/$metadata#EntityLists/$entity",
"ListId": "0x0776a0a40a974ddd",
"Name": "Aleksandra_Entities",
"Count": 1,
"Created": "2021-03-03T05:02:08.903Z",
"Modified": "2021-03-03T05:02:47.973Z"
}
Then to update it [in a FTP like fashion which is a full replace] use the following [I am replacing adidas with puma and Nike in the list]
With the following payload:
{
"Identifiers": [
{
"Identifier": "NKE",
"IdentifierType": "Ric",
"UserDefinedIdentifier": "UserIdentReplace"
},
{
"Identifier": "PUMG.DE",
"IdentifierType": "Ric",
"UserDefinedIdentifier": "UserIdentReplace"
}
],
"Options": {
"AllowDuplicateInstruments": false,
"IncludeParentAndUltimateParent": false,
"AllowUnmanagedOrUnverifiedEntities": true
}
}
Then the list is updated:
