How to get shipping data via API ?

I am currently collecting way points of our vessels using Eikon via Excel with the function:

=TR("C}BT7309778980",

"TR.AssetName,TR.AssetLocationStatus,TR.AssetLocationLatitude,TR.AssetLocationLongitude",,C12)

Is there a way to get this data via API ? I tried RFA and Eikon Desktop Data .NET API, but these types of RICs and FIDs are apparently not supported. Would the DEX2 COM API provide that functionality ? Any other recommendation ? Thanks for any hint !

Yes, you can use DEX2 COM API to retrieve the data. The Fundamental and Reference Data example is available at https://developers.refinitiv.com/en/api-catalog/eikon/com-apis-for-use-in-custom-applications/download. To run the example, please follow steps in ReadMeFirst.txt.
