Can you please explain why I get a response which does not reference the identifier I actually requested and tell me how to fix this? This makes it basically impossible for me to pull out the data for what I requested (obviously it’ll work for a single identifier, but not for more than one…)
e.g.
{ "ExtractionRequest": { "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.StarmineExtractionRequest", "IdentifierList": { "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.EntityIdentifierList", "EntityIdentifiers": [{ "Identifier": "JHE42UYNWWTJB8YTTU19", "IdentifierType": "Lei" }] }, "ContentFieldNames": ["Official Name", "Credit SmartRatios Implied Rating"] }}
Results in

Hello Gareth,
Thank you for your participation in the forum. Are any of the replies below satisfactory in resolving your query?

Hi Gareth - Yes, easy solution is for client to include Instrument ID/Type in their report template for extraction. That will always return the original ID they submitted no matter what the identifier resolves to after validation.
This does appear to be a bug of sorts, but today is a U.S. holiday and so I cannot work it out for sure until tomorrow. In the meantime, you can also add the identifier as a User DefinedIdentifier and then do your matching on that field (which does come back correctly).
Here is a sample of a entity validation call I made like this:
POST https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/Extractions/EntityListValidateIdentifiers HTTP/1.1 {"InputsForValidation":[{"Identifier":"JHE42UYNWWTJB8YTTU19","IdentifierType":"Lei","UserDefinedIdentifier":"JHE42UYNWWTJB8YTTU19"}],"KeepDuplicates":true,"IncludeParentAndUltimateParent":true}
Returned:
{"@odata.context":"https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/$metadata#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.SubjectLists.EntitiesValidateIdentifiersResult","ValidatedEntities":[{"Identifier":"17092","IdentifierType":"OrgId","UserDefinedIdentifier":"JHE42UYNWWTJB8YTTU19","Key":"VjF8MHgwMDAzZWYwNmMwYmVmYjZmfEVORU58MTcwOTJ8T1JH","Description":"AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED","InstrumentType":"Entity"}],"ValidationResult":{"ValidEntityCount":1,"ValidationDuplicates":[],"Messages":[]}}
