  • Hi @mizanur.kazi

    Is there a question you wish to ask - it is not clear from your above post?

    If you are interested in whether you need to act on the other update types, please refer to the existing post related to this matter. As you will note from my colleague Zoya's comments it may not be a good idea to ignore other update types - as you may miss important market data events.

    If you require additional information beyond what is in the above post, then I recommend you raise Content type ticket with our Content Helpdesk.

    The API just provides the data as it receives it from the server and incoming feeds etc. The exact context of the update types are really Content questions and not API questions.

  • Hello @mizanur.kazi,

    You do not see updates of type trade and quote at this time (I expect Frankfurt exchange is closed for the day, no trading) or you do not observe them during Frankfurt exchange market open?

    Are you able to see updates of type trade and quote to instruments that are active on exchanges that are during their market hours, for example, at this time NYSE (IBM.N) should be open and trading?

  • Hello @mizanur.kazi,

    Looks like what you have seen is fully consistent with what have been published:

    I have extracted raw content, from Tick History, for yesterday, 09/09/2019, for instrument ZUMZ.F

    The updates are all of type "Unspecified".

    I have opened a support case with our content services to confirm that the content is as expected, case# 07961716.

    We will inform you when we have had a chance to investigate this on the content side.

  • Hello @mizanur.kazi,

    The issue is confirmed with content and the fix will be bundled into a future release.
