Hi team,
DSWS API R login receiving Client error 403.
(User ID: ZRBA041)
Error requesting data. HTTP message was: Client error : Forbidden : Client error: (403) Forbidden
Error in .self$.basicRequest(instrument = .self$symbolList[, 1], datatype = datatype, :
instruments is empty and has length zero
Can you advise what the issue is and how to resolve this?
Thank you.
To verify the problem, you need to enable logging in DSWS API by using the following code.
mydsws$logging <- 5
You may also test the request on the Datastream Test REST Service.
Thank you for your reply Jirapongse. Actually logging in is okay.
We are getting the above error message trying to run this.
When we changed Username it worked. Checked entitlements but they both were same.
Do you have any idea what may be the issue here?
(Password is x-ed out on purpose)
options(Datastream.Username = 'ZRBA041')
options(Datastream.Password = 'xxxxxxxxx')
# Load the library
library(DatastreamDSWS2R)
# Set the proxy
httr::set_config(httr::use_proxy(curl::ie_get_proxy_for_url("https://www.google.com"),
username = ":", password = ":",
auth = "gssnegotiate"))
proxy <- curl::ie_get_proxy_for_url("https://www.google.com")
Sys.setenv(https_proxy = proxy)
# Unset the proxy
# httr::set_config(httr::use_proxy(""))
# Sys.setenv(https_proxy = "")
# Create a DSWS API object to run queries
mydsws <- dsws$new()
# Make a small request
myData <- mydsws$timeSeriesListRequest(instrument = c("@:AUSP200"),
datatype = c("A12GRO","ALTMN"),
startDate = "31-01-2001",
endDate = "-0D",
frequency = "M")
If changing the username works, you can check both usernames on the Datastream Test REST Service.
