What headers must be in correct request? (at POSTMAN)

in World-Check One

When I try to send test request to WC1 through POSTMAN, I got errors like that
{
"message": "Authorization header requires 'Credential' parameter. Authorization header requires 'Signature' parameter. Authorization header requires 'SignedHeaders' parameter. Authorization=Signature keyId=\"**our_api_key**",algorithm=\"hmac-sha256\""
}

I'm trying to follow your doc's examples (https://docs-developers.thomsonreuters.com/1549604761954/50009/documentation/schema-reference/security.html), but I don't understand which keys I should include to headers. Can you help me with that and provide some real working code examples please? Thank you very much!

    Hi,

    Thanks for providing the request & response.

    1. As you can see the difference between your requested time and the time of response is >30 seconds, ideally, you will get a 401. In your case, the requested date is 8th Feb and the response date is 11th Feb, can you please check your system date settings to make sure that the date header value is in sync with the NTP or the GMT clock for the API call to succeed. The difference with the API clock time shouldn’t be >30s. When it’s more than 30s you get a 401.

    2. Can you also confirm the error code that you see?

    3. I would like you to confirm if you changed anything in the pre-request script in the postman, from the response headers I see that its unable to read the credentials that is being formed in authorisation header.

    4. Another thing that I notice from your request body is the secondary field "Region = California", Kindly fire the "SEQ-pre-group-case-template: Get the case template for a group" API to check all the secondary fields that are allowed for your group.

    The fieldValueType is a COUNTRY for such secondary fields, I believe passing California would give you an

    • error:"INVALID_COUNTRY_LOCATION"

    Please provide your thoughts on the above queries so that we can investigate this further.

    Thank you for example! But now I have that strange answer. Could you help me to fix my request please! I saw you've include the 'host' key in 'Authorization', but your request was successfull. Whats the difference? (incorrect time may be, becase I've tried to play with headers after first result, but the server answer didn't change anyway).

    Hi,

    After further investigation I believe that you're subscribed to the World-Check One API access and not World-Check One Zero Footprint, do let me know if I'm wrong here.

    Can you please replace the host to rms-world-check-one-api-pilot.thomsonreuters.com and retry the request?

    Also, do let me know the reason why you using the ZFS URL .
