DSS API Authentication Error
@divya.suresh, I edited the screenshot, to mask the customer ID and password !
Having them exposed in public view is a risk for the customer.
=> As a security measure I suggest you tell the customer to change his password, because it might have been compromised.
@divya.suresh, this is a good opportunity to suggest to your customer to use the TRDC portal and forum. It is free, he can use a pseudo to avoid sharing his identity, he can find documentation, downloads, tutorials, and post queries on the forum directly. The contents of the forum are kept up to date, and the forum is quite active, so he will usually get quick responses.

@divya.suresh, I tried looking at the code, but the code that generates the error is hidden, as well as the error message. That said, the following does not seem right :
- Several authentication requests, in lines 37, 40 and 42.
- Several extraction contexts, in lines 37 and 42.
This code looks like it is for scheduled requests. We have 3 tutorials (and corresponding sample code) that describe this in C#, starting with this one. They might be of help.
In a nutshell, the initial part would look somewhat like this:
static void Main()
{
//Connect and authenticate to the DSS server:
Uri dssUri = new Uri("https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/");
string dssUserName = "YourUserId";
string dssUserPassword = "YourPassword";
ExtractionsContext extractionsContext = new ExtractionsContext(dssUri, dssUserName, dssUserPassword);
string sessionToken = extractionsContext.SessionToken;
Console.WriteLine("Returned session token: " + sessionToken);
After that, the other operations will simply refer to the extractions context. Example:
//Create a new (empty) instrument list:
var instrumentList = new InstrumentList { Name = "myInstrumentListName" };
extractionsContext.InstrumentListOperations.Create(instrumentList);
Etc.
