Hi,

Could you please confirm what is the API you are using? Is it TRTH or DSS REST API?

Regards,

AHS

I don't know, What is the difference between them?

Basically TREP API does not provide REST API to retreive Real-Time data therefore we assume that you might choosing wrong forum when you post the question. That why we would like to confirm API product you are using first.

DSS and TRTH API are different products, but it hosted on the same server and share the REST API for the user. If you are using either DataScope Select or Tick History product. you can find details about the API usage including the way to get token from the following links:

Thomson Reuters Tick History (TRTH)
DataScope Select (DSS)

You can request a token with an HTTP POST request to our Authentication/RequestToken endpoint. This is detailed in Chapter 4 of our REST API User Guide.

The request will contain your DSS credentials in JSON form. See example below.

HTTP Request:

POST https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/Authentication/RequestToken

Headers:

Content-Type: application/json
Prefer: respond-async

Request body:

{
 "Credentials": {
 	"Username": "Your Username", 
	"Password": "Your Password" }
}

If your credentials are correct, you will receive a 200 response with your authentication token in the value key.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
