Please help me with a question about WC1 API and special characters
Hello, I was testing our implementation in Java with a simple request to the Pilot environment, using a POST request to the uri (rms-world-check-one-api-pilot.thomsonreuters.com/v1/cases) and was getting a response back with the unauthorized 401 error when I sent a name with special character. But this error only happend when I sent a name with special character like in the example:
{ ... "providerTypes":["WATCHLIST"], "name":"Tést" }
If I send a company name without special character, the test works. Testing in postman it works even with special character, but I can't see why. Thanks Vitor
I set the content length like this:
"return text.getBytes().length;"
and returned the same value of postman
Hi @vitor.valerio,
You must ensure your code is utf-8 and the byte count is encoded.
var contentLength = unescape(encodeURIComponent(content)).length;
Hope this helps,
Brian
Hi @vitor.valerio,
In java you can handle special character using below line of code.
String value = new String(jsonBody.getBytes("UTF-8"))
The value of jsonBody is given below.
String jsonBody = "{\"secondaryFields\":[],\"entityType\":\"INDIVIDUAL\",\"customFields\":[],\"groupId\":\"418f28a7-b9c9-4ae4-8530-819c61b1ca6c\",\"providerTypes\":[\"WATCHLIST\"],\"name\":\"Tést\"}";
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Shilpi
