Are Chinese characters supported by the World-Check API?
I get a 401 Unauthorized error when I enter Chinese characters in my request.
Here's the example from your Postman Collection.
{
"secondaryFields": [],
"entityType": "INDIVIDUAL",
"customFields": [],
"groupId":"{
{group-id}}",
"providerTypes": [
"WATCHLIST"
],
"name": "习近平"
}

Hi @John Williams,
This is a known issue in the current release of the WC-1 API.
Chinese characters are supported in the next release (December) of the API.
Hope this helps,
Brian
I successfully tested your example in the next release.
{
"secondaryFields": [],
"entityType": "INDIVIDUAL",
"customFields": [],
"groupId":"{
{group-id}}",
"providerTypes": [
"WATCHLIST"
],
"name": "习近平"
}
Hi, I just tested this morning, it does not working if the name is Chinese characters. Could i ask when it would be fixed. Thanks
Hi @information,
V1.2 of the API also requires you download the latest Postman collection. There's a minor edit to the Pre-request Script to properly calculate the content string length.
var contentLength = unescape(encodeURIComponent(content)).length;
