World-Check ONE API requests return 401 Unauthorized

I've loaded the WC1 API postman collection and all of my requests return 401 Unauthorized. What else could be wrong?

I try to solve this problem by following the answer from the developer community, but it doesn't work.

(https://community.developers.refinitiv.com/questions/8044/world-check-one-api-requests-return-401-unauthoriz.html)

For access to the World-Check One API, there is no username and password needed, that is part of your registration to the WC1 product. For the API you should have received your Registration Keys, the api-key and api-secret keys can be found the the Postman Environment, select Manage Environment (on the WC1 Pilot environment pulldown)

Hi @huangshitao,

You are trying to create a case using your API keys in the PS "SampleClientAPI-Group1", where you do not have a user account. Change groupId to your groupId... you can find our your groups where your user API keys are registered by making a request (SEQ-1 in the Postman Collection) to get my top level groups.

GET {{protocol}}{{gateway-host}}{{gateway-url}}groups

Hope this helps,

Brian

I try to get the groups, but the response also is 401.

GET /v1/groups HTTP/1.1

I can provide the API key and secret if you need.

Thanks,
