401 Unauthorized response when GET-ing groups in Postman

Hi,


I am struggling to be able to do the first call to the API, ie GET /groups - I keep getting a 401 error, even though I believe I followed the steps properly (I have set api-key and api-secret as environment variables in Postman).


here's the Postman log (I've replaced the values for keyId and signature):

Proxy:
host:"10.200.72.2"
port:8080
match:"http+https://*:*/*"

Request Headers:
Date:"Tue, 03 Dec 2019 22:25:54 GMT"
Authorization:"Signature keyId="myKey-myKey-myKey-myKey-myKey",algorithm="hmac-sha256",headers="(request-target) host date",signature="mySignature-mySignature-mySignature"
User-Agent:"PostmanRuntime/7.15.2"
Accept:"*/*"
Cache-Control:"no-cache"
Postman-Token:"e47060b0-56bf-4132-b8d8-94d1b1f420e5"
Host:"rms-world-check-one-api-pilot.thomsonreuters.com"
Accept-Encoding:"gzip, deflate"
Connection:"keep-alive"

Response Headers:
Authorization:"WWW-Authenticate: Signature realm="World-Check One API",algorithm="hmac-sha256",headers="(request-target) host date content-type content-length""
Transfer-Encoding:"chunked"
Date:"Tue, 03 Dec 2019 22:25:55 GMT"
Server:""""
Connection:"close"



I saw this similar question https://community.developers.refinitiv.com/questions/48017/401-unauthorized-response-when-calling-httpget-v1g.html in which user says the issue was the endpoint, but without precising what was wrong - I am using the query from the provided Postman collection, so I guess it's

correct.


Can you help me out figure out what's wrong with my query?


Thanks

@vincent.fuchs,

I have made the question private. Request you to please mask the API credentials from the query so that we can make the query public again.

OK, so looks like it was an issue in the way I was using Postman : I had left the "current value" field empty, thinking it would use the "initial value".


I copy/pasted the values in "current value" also, and now it works.
