RIC Expansion differences between TRTH Web and DataServices API

I am
comparing the following two chains while using TRTH Web (Version 6.0.11:Data
72) and the TRTH Data Services API.

For the 12/01/2014 00:00 through 12/31/2014 23:59:59.999 date/time
range:
  • 0#USAFLRRPS1 expands to 8 instruments via TRTH web but 10 instruments via
    TRTH Data Services
  • 0#USRPBB-ADT1 expands to 10 instruments via TRTH web but 12 instruments via
    TRTH Data Services



Why is there a discrepancy between the two sources?

    RRPSHRD1(FID800) and
    RRPSBONDS(FID 801) from the chains 0#USAFLRRPS1 and 0#USRPBB-ADT1 unfortunately
    cannot be removed as they are required to be on the chain for the convenience
    of desktop users.




    From the
    above desktop snapshot, if you observe RRPSBONDS in 801, it helps desktop users
    to navigate back to the parent speed guide page. And RRPSHRD1 strings all the
    labels such as Issue, Coupon, Maturity etc together. In absence of FID 801
    these labels will not be seen. There's a purpose for their existence and it
    can't be removed.



    RRPSHRD1(FID800)
    and RRPSBONDS(FID 801) are pages and not RICS. Now GUI shows them as invalid as
    GUI verifies the chain and only updates its corresponding RICS on the
    instrument list page. The API on the other hand (unlike GUI which has a
    dedicated speedguide page option) also includes the SpeedGuide page in its
    expansion. This is the reason as to why you view the above RICS



    Thus my
    suggestion would be for you to ignore these instruments while requesting for
    data.
