How to Get Access Token Through POST HTTP Request?

shiqi.wang

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to use Refinitiv API through HTTP request to get real-time data in my workflow, but I am stuck at the first step of getting access token. I am not sure what I should put in the URL field. I would really appreciate it if I can get any help or instruction from you, thank you!

Also, if I use OAuth 2, can anyone please provide me some instructions regarding how to fill in these fields? Thank you! It's my first time to use API, so many things are a bit confusing to me, I would really appreciate your help!!

Hello @shiqi.wang

Beside the clear answer from my colleague, there are the following WebSocket API resources that might help you too:

• WebSocket API tutorials page.
• WebSocket API tutorials - Connect to RTO page.
• The RTO connection utilizes the Data Platform APIs authentication system, so the Data Platform APIs - All About Token page is must-read.
