DSS Rest Api with big list of identifiers

Hi,

I try to make an Extraction request for Corporate Actions based on a big list of intruments (around 180 FileCode).

The request work fine with 1 File code but I get an empty result with the full list after few seconds.

Do you have a timeout on you side?

I'm using Java to make the request, but same results using an RESTClient plugin in Firefox.

Hello @Stephane Rossi

The example to handle status code 202 can be found in DSS2TimeSeriesClient.java at timeSeriesExtractRequest() method.

For more details of handling async, please refer to https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi.Help/Home/KeyMechanisms?ctx=Extractions&stp=1&tab=0&uid=Async

@Stephane Rossi

Can you share the exact request you are making ?

There is a working example here that might also help you.

I see in RestClient plugin in FF a status code 202 with Status "InProgress".

Then more like an asyncr call. Then how handle the reply? I don't see any example for Java

Status code 202 means the call was Accepted, i.e. the request is correct, but timed out because there is too much data. That is why the body of the response is empty.

How to handle this:

In the response header you will find a Location URL, it looks something like:

Location https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/monitor/'0x056a114ea0fb2f96'

You can retrieve the data, once it is ready, by using a GET request on that URL:

  • If you run this GET request and the data is not yet ready, then you will get a similar response.
  • If you run this GET request and the data is ready, then you will get the data.
  • If you run this GET request again (after having received the data), then you will get a 404 (data not found).

The more data is requested, the longer it can take for it to be available.

Working fine ! Only a small bug in the example, the poll URL is in the header[4] and not in the header[3]. But I can check the key inside the header to found the correct value in the array.

@Stephane Rossi

For your information, the Java examples available under the downloads tab have been modified to optimize handling of the poll URL.

@Stephane Rossi

Glad it works now. I have escalated the issue you found with the example.

Here an way to get it:

Header[] headers = response.getAllHeaders();

String pollURL = null;

for (Header entry: headers) {

if (entry.getName().equals("Location")) {

pollURL = entry.getValue();

}

}
