RKD GET DOCUMENT Postman 403 error

thomas.j.tan

Client tries to use Get Document to get filings for ELD.AX with DCN. It works in the RKD Support Portal. Using the same credential and token, and same endpoint, the client got 403 error. I can replicate client’s issue in Postman. Please see details below and shed some lights. Many thanks

Getting 403 error for the below,

http://api.rkd.refinitiv.com/api/FilingsRetrieval3/FilingsRetrieval3.svc/docs/cr14920708/pdf/?docIDType=Dcn

FYI, we are passing active token only. The same token is working for other endpoints.

Hello @thomas.j.tan

Based on the RKD Support portal page and RKD Developer Guide (you can open it by clicking on the "Developer Guide" button on that page), the RKD Filing Service supports the authentication setting via HTTP Cookies, not HTTP Headers parameters like other services.

The required HTTP Cookies values are as follows:

RkdAppId=AppID
RkdToken=RkdToken

You can find more detail about how to set up HTTP Cookies in Postman via the official Postman https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/cookies/ document.

Hope this helps.

Hello @thomas.j.tan

Based on the official Postman https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/cookies/ document, you can set the HTTP Cookies automatically when run the Authentication script via the following steps:

Firstly, add the "api.rkd.refinitiv.com" domain to the Postman Cookies menu:

Next, add the "api.rkd.refinitiv.com" domain to the Domain Allowlist as follows:

Then, you can set the Application ID and RKD Token in the Test Script as follows (please update the variable names to match your requirement).

const cookieJar = pm.cookies.jar();
cookieJar.set("api.rkd.refinitiv.com", "RkdAppId",pm.variables.get("appid"),(error, cookie) => {
    if (error) {
    console.error(`An error occurred: ${error}`);
  } else {
    console.log(`Cookie saved: ${cookie}`);
  }
});
cookieJar.set("api.rkd.refinitiv.com", "RkdToken",pm.variables.get("Token"),(error, cookie) => {
    if (error) {
    console.error(`An error occurred: ${error}`);
  } else {
    console.log(`Cookie saved: ${cookie}`);
  }
});

Then make sure the Cookie is presented in the HTTP Header and the content type is application/pdf.
