Trying to use permid file match and receive error Failed to resolve API Key variable request.head...

...er.X-AG-Access-Token

Good day

I am trying to use permID file match by hitting https://api.thomsonreuters.com/permid/match/file

I can use the entity search API with no errors, but with the file match I am getting the following error
{
"fault": {
"faultstring": "Failed to resolve API Key variable request.header.X-AG-Access-Token",
"detail": {
"errorcode": "steps.oauth.v2.FailedToResolveAPIKey"
}
}
}

I am currently using postman to test and am unsure of what I am doing wrong.

When using this access token in the Dev Tools try it out section, I do not receive an error.

Any help is appreciated.

I have modified the code.

1. The path should start with "/"

2. Add the "x-ag-access-token" in the headers

3. Add content in the body

The modified code is:

var http = require("https"); 

var options = { "method": "POST", "hostname": "api.thomsonreuters.com", "path": "/permid/match/file", "headers": { "content-type": "multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW", "x-openmatch-numberOfMatchesPerRecord": "1", "x-openmatch-dataType": "Organization", "cache-control": "no-cache", "Postman-Token": "101e3dbe-96bf-4b1c-9fce-8dad5f4ff975", "x-ag-access-token" : "token"}}; 

var req = http.request(options, function (res) { var chunks = []; res.on("data", function (chunk) { chunks.push(chunk); }); 

res.on("end", function () { var body = Buffer.concat(chunks); console.log(body.toString()); }); }); 

req.write("------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"test.csv\"\r\nContent-Type: application/vnd.ms.-excel\r\n\r\nLocalID,Standard Identifier,Name,Country,Street,City,PostalCode,State,Website\r\n1,,Apple,US,\"Apple Campus, 1 Infinite Loop\",Cupertino,95014,California,\r\n------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--");

req.end();

According to chapter 2.3 of PermID API User Guide, if you want to pass access token as a parameter in the URL rather than as an HTTP header, the parameter name is "access-token" and not "x-ag-access-token".

$ node index.js

app.use(cors());

To troubleshoot this I suggest you capture the HTTP request and response going on the wire. Use an HTTP analyzer or a network sniffer.
