Check if RIC exists (Elektron API)

I used the Elektron API to create a software connected to a TREP infrastructure.

I don't have the DACS entitlement to subscribes to IDN. But I need to check if a RIC exists on IDN. How could I do that?

Hi @nicolas.roux,

There is no specific API call to check if a RIC exists. If you want to determine if a RIC exists, you have to interrogate the status message that is returned when you register interest in (subscribe to) the RIC. The status message that comes back in the response will specifically indicate that the item is not found. If you get a permission error within the status response for the requested RIC, that means the item does exist.

See this question for more detail.
