    @veerapath : Client has come back asking Could you please explain what the <Token> refers to. For example if my username is "Dominik" and my password is "Password" what would be the wget command?

    @Beera.Rajesh: The authentication token is required by all API calls. A generated token is valid for 24 hours and can be requested from API endpoint RequestToken; passing in userID and password.

    On linux you can use CURL to get a token by invoking the command: 

    curl -i -X POST -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Prefer: respond-async" -d "{\"Credentials\": { \"Username\": \"***\", \"Password\": \"***\"}}" https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/Authentication/RequestToken

    The
    token is an authentication token returned from authentication request.
    It needs to be added to each subsequent API request. For more
    informaiton, please see this tutorial.

    The
    wget command I provided is a part of REST API which retreives extracted
    data from TRTH. Please see the "Retrieve the data from the server" step
    in this tutorial for the Schedule extraction and "Retrieve data - HTTP request" in this tutorial for the On Demand extraction.

    However, to extract data , the client still needs to use TRTH
    REST API to create On Demand and Scehdule extraction or Web GUI to create Schedule extraction.
