Update to Room-In-A-Name API for Position Limits

As part of our Position Limits improvement plan we have made updates to Position Limits which will affect the output of the RIAN API.

The RIAN API response object produces a list of results with a 'resultType' field. Currently, you can expect the following four values:

OK,
Warning,
Breach,
Unknown,

This change introduces three new values:

OK,
Warning,
Breach,
Unknown,
UpcomingBreach,
ReportingLevelCrossed,
AccountabilityLevelCrossed,

Whereas before these results would have existed under “Breach” now these are split into three separate result types; an upcoming breach, a reporting level crossed, and an accountability level crossed. 

Users who have Room-In-A-Name set up for Position Limits should take these changes into account. Example below as to the different output. 

Before:

{
"dataDate": "2023-06-17",
"contractData": [
    {
        ...
        "limitTypes": [
        {
            "name": "SpotMonth",
            "limitLevels": [
            {
                "name": "Accountability",
                "results": [
                {
                    "resultType": "Breach",
                    "limitInEffect": "2023-05-19",
                    "value": 9000.00000000,
                    ...
                }
                ]
            }]
        }]
    }
    ]
}

After:

{
"dataDate": "2023-06-17",
"contractData": [
    {
        ...
        "limitTypes": [
        {
            "name": "SpotMonth",
            "limitLevels": [
            {
                "name": "Accountability",
                "results": [
                {
                    "resultType": "AccountabilityLevelCrossed",
                    "limitInEffect": "2023-05-19",
                    "value": 9000.00000000,
                    ...
                }
                ]
            }]
        }]
    }
    ]
}

FAQ

• Can I continue using the old version of Position Limits RIAN?

No, we will stop support for the old RIAN output at some point in 2023.
