Hi @ksm1234

The result of ExtractRaw should be in gzip compression format and cannot display to console directly. You need to redirect output to a gzip file via the "-o <filename.gz>" option ,and then use other tools such as gunzip command to decompress the file.

Yes, excellent point :-)

@ksm1234,

The output in the query above is unreadable, but 3 things catch my eye in the query:

  • The content type, which for this request is usually "Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate".
  • The "/\" in front of "$value". Can you try the same command but remove the "\", i.e. use "/$value" ?
  • The word "proxy", but maybe this is just obfuscation or a host name ? Just to be clear, in curl the proxy setting is "-x <IP>:<port>", for example "-x 192.168.0.1:8080"

So to summarize, I'd try this (after setting the appropriate JobId and proxy IP address):

curl -H "Content-Type:Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate" -H "Authorization:Token $token" -X GET "https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/Extractions/RawExtractionResults('0x06xxxx2')/$value" -x 192.168.0.1:80 -k

If my suggestions do not help, please re-post the output of the curl command.
