An authorization issue while calling WorldCheck One API. Response: status 401

Hello,

we try to integrate WorldCheck One API in our System.

Firstly, we download documentation and postmen collection: Thomson-Reuters-World-Check-One-API-documentation.v1.5 and World-Check One API Postman Collection

Secondly, we try to run the test postman collection as shown in https://developers.thomsonreuters.com/customer-and-third-party-screening/world-check-one-api/quick-start. Before this, we enter API Key and API Secret provided for us by Administrator (the screenshot are attached).

We try to execute GET request - SEQ-pre-groups: Get my top-level groups but as a result, we receive the following response: Status: 401 Unauthorized FAIL: Status code is 200 | AssertionError: expected response to having status code 200 but got 401 FAIL: Could retrieve the groupId from response | AssertionError: expected response body to be a valid json but got error No data, empty input at 1:1

@otkachova,

Thank you for sharing the console logs.

Based on the details, I can see that you are using an empty ‘Content-Type’
in the ‘Request Headers’ which is not required for the GET request. The GET
request headers would only include ‘Date’ and ‘Authorization’. Could you please remove the ‘Content-Type’ from the
Header and then try?

Group-id would be obtained when you use the API call – “SEQ-pre-groups: Get my top-level groups”
and the response code is 200 OK (see the format below). Group-id would not be required for the above mentioned request.

{

"id" : "Group Id",

"parentId" : "Parent Group
ID",

"name" : "John Smith",

"hasChildren" : true,

"children" : [ ],

"status" : "ACTIVE"

}

Custom-fields are the fields which you may want to use in
addition while screening a case. The information of the available custom fields
could be obtained when you use the API call – ‘SEQ-pre-group-case-template: Get the case template for a group’
in the below format and would not be required for the API call - 'Get my top-level groups':

"customFields" : [ {

"typeId" : "Custom Field Id 1",

"value" : "Reference Id 1234567"

}, {

"typeId" : "Custom Field Id 2",

"value" : "Deal Id 1234567"

} ],

Let me know if this helps.
