Trying to use permid file match and receive error Failed to resolve API Key variable request.header.X-AG-Access-Token
Good day
I am trying to use permID file match by hitting https://api.thomsonreuters.com/permid/match/file
I can use the entity search API with no errors, but with the file match I am getting the following error
{ "fault": { "faultstring": "Failed to resolve API Key variable request.header.X-AG-Access-Token", "detail": { "errorcode": "steps.oauth.v2.FailedToResolveAPIKey" } } }
I am currently using postman to test and am unsure of what I am doing wrong.
When using this access token in the Dev Tools try it out section, I do not receive an error.
Any help is appreciated.

I have modified the code.
1. The path should start with "/"
2. Add the "x-ag-access-token" in the headers
3. Add content in the body
The modified code is:
var http = require("https");
var options = { "method": "POST", "hostname": "api.thomsonreuters.com", "path": "/permid/match/file", "headers": { "content-type": "multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW", "x-openmatch-numberOfMatchesPerRecord": "1", "x-openmatch-dataType": "Organization", "cache-control": "no-cache", "Postman-Token": "101e3dbe-96bf-4b1c-9fce-8dad5f4ff975", "x-ag-access-token" : "token"}};
var req = http.request(options, function (res) { var chunks = []; res.on("data", function (chunk) { chunks.push(chunk); });
res.on("end", function () { var body = Buffer.concat(chunks); console.log(body.toString()); }); });
req.write("------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"test.csv\"\r\nContent-Type: application/vnd.ms.-excel\r\n\r\nLocalID,Standard Identifier,Name,Country,Street,City,PostalCode,State,Website\r\n1,,Apple,US,\"Apple Campus, 1 Infinite Loop\",Cupertino,95014,California,\r\n------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--");
req.end();
According to chapter 2.3 of PermID API User Guide, if you want to pass access token as a parameter in the URL rather than as an HTTP header, the parameter name is "access-token" and not "x-ag-access-token".
After updating my node code i get the following back in terminal after trying to run node.
$ node index.js <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Error</title> <style> body { width: 35em; margin: 0 auto; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>An error occurred.</h1> <p>Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable.<br/> Please try again later.</p> </body> </html>
Below is the code in index.js
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const request = require('request');
const cors = require('cors');
// const http = require('http');
// const https = require('https');
const util = require('util')
// Sets an initial port. We"ll use this later in our listener
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8080;
app.use(cors());
var corsOptions = {
origin: '*',
optionsSuccessStatus: 200
};
// Service end-point (search)
// app.get('/upload', function (req, res) {
// var options = {
// method: 'GET',
// url: 'https://api.thomsonreuters.com/permid/match/file?Content-Type=multipart%2Fform-data',
// headers: {
// 'cache-control': 'no-cache',

// 'x-openmatch-numberOfMatchesPerRecord': '1',
// 'x-ag-access-token': '96CT8NAgnieeuiYA2YPeNMnbPMfHu4W8'
// },
// formData: {
// file: undefined
// }
// };
// request(options, function (error, response, body) {
// if (error) throw new Error(error);
// console.log(response)
// console.log(body);
// });
// });
// function dataReturned(e) {
// console.log("Success!");
// finalRes.end(e);
// }
// const server = http.createServer(app)
// server.listen(PORT, () => {
// console.log(`app started! at port ${PORT}`);
// });
var http = require("https");

req.end();
To troubleshoot this I suggest you capture the HTTP request and response going on the wire. Use an HTTP analyzer or a network sniffer.
