@gareth.teage,

You cannot get the embargo details pre-extraction, i.e. separately from the actual data request; there is no "embargo validation" capability.

But you can get the embargo details fairly quickly after making an actual request. Referring to what Veerapath said, you can enable "Early Partial Delivery of Embargoed Reports" in the User Preferences. With that in place, in the first set of result files you will find the notes file that gives information on what is embargoed, as illustrated by this screenshot:

The tutorial Veerapath refers to gives all the details. Hope this helps.

The IntradayPricingExtraction can provide the same embargo details as the example from GUI. Below is the example of request extracting the embargo fields.

  "ExtractionRequest": {
    "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.IntradayPricingExtractionRequest",

      "Exchange Code",
      "File Code",
      "PE Code",
      "Real Time Permitted",
      "Exchange Requiring Embargo",
      "Embargo Times",
      "Embargo Window",
      "Current Embargo Delay",
      "Maximum Embargo Delay",
      "Instrument Snap Time",
      "Last Update Time"
    ],
    "IdentifierList": {
      "@odata.type": "#ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.Extractions.ExtractionRequests.InstrumentIdentifierList",  
      "InstrumentIdentifiers": [
      	{ "Identifier": "VOD.L", "IdentifierType": "Ric" }
      ]
    },
