403 error when trying to download filing

I am running the script displayed here:

https://github.com/LSEG-API-Samples/Example.RDPAPI.Python.IntroductionToFilings/blob/main/IntroToFilings.ipynb

It works fine until:

# Define Helper Function retrieveURL

def retrieveURL(token, retrievalParameters):

ENDPOINT_DOC_RETRIEVAL = RDP_BASE_URL+'/data/filings'+RDP_FILINGS_VERSION + '/retrieval/search/' + retrievalParameters

headers = {

"Authorization": "Bearer " + token,

"X-API-Key": "155d9dbf-f0ac-46d9-8b77-f7f6dcd238f8",

"ClientID" : "api_playground"

}

...

# Retrieve URL by FilingId

jsonFullResp = retrieveURL(accessToken,'filingId/97661417885')

where I get:

Next we retrieve: https://api.refinitiv.com/data/filings/v1/retrieval/search/filingId/97661417885

Response status code =403

Questions:

1) Why does the author of that post set the ClientID to api_playground? My understanding of GraphQL playgrounds is that they serve to try things and to understand data structure, not to launch downloads of filings via systematic API access.

2) Why do I get the 403 error? I also tried substituting the X-API-Key and ClientID with my credentials that worked well further up the code when I was obtaining the token, but same result.

Thank you.

Hello @user2,

Please try to use the filings Python and Postman sample in the downloads tab of developers portal. The Python sample shows the complete GraphQL search and subsequent download and saving of the file. You can read about the structure of filings request in the document.

The client ID used in the filings request header is just a unique identified and can be any text that specifically identifies your application name.

Dear Gurpreet,

Thank you very much.

I ran the filings.py. Before that, I dumped my username, password and appKey as v1 authentication parameters in the credential file.

Executing the code from filings.py yields no error (authentification seems to work) but a docId that is a NoneType object. I would have expected something different. I also tried the other example from the filings.py file - same result.

Hi @user2,

Do you have access to the filings API. I just executed the sample without any modification, and am able to download the file:

The document [20200801_5000601244_97659617443_1_12_INTRM_raw.pdf], has been downloaded

For the OAuth access token that you get - does it have filings related scope associated with it. Namely -

trapi.data.filings.metadata
trapi.data.filings.retrieval
trapi.data.filings.search

Dear Gurpreet,

Thank you. It seems that the token does not have these features, see below.

How can I extend the scope to filings?
