Matching File Input Request Example

I am trying to build a matching request using csv file using python request library. I am getting <Response [500]> What I am doing wrong here?


My example csv input file contains just one column with the header name and 1 row, like this:

name

Facebook


There is my code:


request_url = "https://api-eit.refinitiv.com/permid/match/file&quot;

headers = { 'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',

'x-ag-access-token': my_apikey,

'x-openmatch-numberOfMatchesPerRecord': '1',

'x-openmatch-dataType': 'Organization'}


files = {'file': open('C:/My_Folder/input_file.csv') }

response = requests.post(url=request_url, headers=headers, files=files)

r = response.json()

print(r)

----------

<Response [500]>

{'error': {'status': {'code': '500',

'errorCode': 'Server Error',

'errorDescription': 'java.lang.NullPointerException'}}}

    Hello @EA_MZ ,

    In Python, by specifying "files" as parameter, the request is already 'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data':

    This discussion thread may be helpful.

    It seems, that if you have it twice, Requests module gets it slightly off, resulting in the invalid submission.

    It is mandatory.
