To get the historical Tick data, you need to have permission to access Tick History templates.

For example, I can use TickHistoryTimeAndSalesExtractionRequest to retrieve historical data.

The request looks like this.

{
  "ExtractionRequest": {
    "@odata.type": "#DataScope.Select.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.TickHistoryTimeAndSalesExtractionRequest",
    "ContentFieldNames": [
        "Trade - Price",
        "Trade - Volume",
        "Trade - Exchange Time"
    ],
    "IdentifierList": {
      "@odata.type": "#DataScope.Select.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.InstrumentIdentifierList",  
      "InstrumentIdentifiers": [{
        "Identifier": ".VIX",
        "IdentifierType": "Ric"
      }]
    },
    "Condition": {
      "MessageTimeStampIn": "GmtUtc",
      "ApplyCorrectionsAndCancellations": false,
      "ReportDateRangeType": "Range",
      "QueryStartDate": "2022-03-01T00:00:00.000Z",
      "QueryEndDate": "2022-03-02T12:00:00.000Z",
      "DisplaySourceRIC": true
    }
  }
}

The output is:

Please let me know the template that you are using.
