You can use the "wget" command to download extracted file from TRTH V2. However, you need to specify "Authorization: <Token>" in the header. Below is the sample of command.

wget -d --header="Authorization:Token_<token>" https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/Extractions/RawExtractionResults\(\'0x05c81050d50b3036\'\)/\$value -O "output.csv.gz"

@veerapath : Client has come back asking Could you please explain what the <Token> refers to. For example if my username is "Dominik" and my password is "Password" what would be the wget command?

@Beera.Rajesh: The authentication token is required by all API calls. A generated token is valid for 24 hours and can be requested from API endpoint RequestToken; passing in userID and password.

On linux you can use CURL to get a token by invoking the command:

curl -i -X POST -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Prefer: respond-async" -d "{\"Credentials\": { \"Username\": \"***\", \"Password\": \"***\"}}" https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/Authentication/RequestToken

The
token is an authentication token returned from authentication request.
It needs to be added to each subsequent API request. For more
informaiton, please see this tutorial.

The
wget command I provided is a part of REST API which retreives extracted
data from TRTH. Please see the "Retrieve the data from the server" step
in this tutorial for the Schedule extraction and "Retrieve data - HTTP request" in this tutorial for the On Demand extraction.

However, to extract data , the client still needs to use TRTH
REST API to create On Demand and Scehdule extraction or Web GUI to create Schedule extraction.

Are you using your TRTH username and password in CURL command where it says ****?
