How to get news headlines and content for an RIC

Is it like a service that I should subscribe to ?

Best Answer

  • Hi @yajnasteju,

    You can open a streaming subscription for News headlines by subscribing to the N2_UBMS pseudo RIC and continue to receive the updates.

    You can then extract the CO_IDS field from each update to see if it contains the RIC code you are interested in. Note that CO_IDS can contain more than one RIC code (space separated) - if the headline concerns more than one entity.

    If the RIC code does match, then you need to extract and subscribe to the PNAC field value from the same update. The post How to get the full body of a news story? has a more information on how to extract the news body.

    Note, however, that N2_UBMS is going to be replaced with a newer Machine Readable News service and there are tutorials for this in the EMA tutorials section:

    EMA C++ - MRN

    EMA Java - MRN

    Please speak to your Thomson Reuters Account manager if you require further information on the migration to the new MRN service.

    Regards.

  • ELektron specific is not a frontend application, its a network where we deliver information via feed to Eikon desktop, web and other feeds, So if you have Eikon or any other front end app, there is a separate app called News and Research in the app Menu. You can input a RIC or name of the company or ISIN or Sedol or any other identifier...

    Can you please let us know what system you are sub subscribed from TR?

    Hope this helps,

    Regards
