GetRICSymbology: no data returned

Can you please take a look at the below. I’m trying to simply get SEDOLs for a RIC, and getting no Instrument data back from TRTH-API:

Request body:

   <soapenv:Body>
      <typ:GetRICSymbology>
         <typ:instrument>
            <typ:code>VOD.L</typ:code>
         </typ:instrument>
         <typ:dateRange>
            <typ:start>2007-04-01</typ:start>
            <typ:end>2007-04-05</typ:end>
         </typ:dateRange>
      </typ:GetRICSymbology>
   </soapenv:Body>

Response body:

   <soapenv:Body>
      <GetRICSymbologyResponse xmlns="http://types.webservice.tickhistory.thomsonreuters.com">
         <instrumentList/>
      </GetRICSymbologyResponse>
   </soapenv:Body>

    I reproduced what you see with the TRTH SOAP API, using SoapUI. Your syntax is correct.

    There are 2 reasons why you did not get any results:

    1. There is no data available for the particular instrument you chose (VOD.L).
    2. The restricted date range.

    Below is a successful call for a different instrument (CARR.PA) and a wider date range (if you restrict the date range to what you originally used then you will not get any data either).

    Hope this helps !
