acquiring CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET for RDP Auth/v2

Sergejs_Maruks · 2025-03-17T14:17:25+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I have an issue related to getting access token via auth v2 endpoint: https://api.refinitiv.com/auth/oauth2/v2/token

I can login to API Playground UI and access endpoints that I need with my credentials:
-username
-password (for UI)

However, to generate access token (programmatically) I need:
CLIENT_ID
CLIENT_SECRET

and I have no idea where do I get them from.

I've read documentation and it says that CLIENT_ID = APPkey, which should be generated here:
App Key Generator

but it doesn't seem to work with password that I use for UI.

How do I receive CLIENT_ID/CLIENT_SECRET for my account?

Hello @Sergejs_Maruks

The Client ID and Client Secret used in the V2 (Client Credentials) authentication is different from the Client ID (App Key) used for the V1 (Password Grant) authentication.

The v2 account has to created and credentials provided to you by the LSEG account manager, and cannot be auto generated by the user.

Is there a guide somewhere I can refer to? I've raised ticket previously, but I don't even know to whom/what team it should be directed

You can raise a ticket with helpdesk at LSEG MyAccount.

Hi @Sergejs_Maruks ,

Please let me add that the same credential used in API Playground with app key generated can be used to authenticate with V1 authentication.

However, it's recommended to use V2 auth and how to retrieve its credential was as my colleague mentioned.
