in World-Check One

Hi,

I have a class created in php, which generates a string that I send to the world-check one api to create a case, but when I consult, I get this error:

GuzzleHttp \ Exception \ ClientException (401)

Client error: `POST https: // rms-world-check-one-api-pilot.thomsonreuters.com / v2 / cases / screeningRequest` resulted in a` 401 Unauthorized` response

When I show the string that I generate, I copy and paste it to postman with the same url I use from the class, it works, but from a project in Laravel, I don't

    Hi,

    401 errors occur because the request has failed an authorization check. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as

    • An invalid or expired API key,
    • An invalid HMAC signature.
    • Request timing issue/problem with the Date header value. The API client must ensure a correctly synchronized clock is used to generate request timestamps.
    • Incorrect JSON payload formation at your end that can cause a 401 response.

    To further investigate this and isolate the cause, can you please share the complete request and response headers of the failed API call?


    Thanks

    What time is needed? GMT or UTC, check on postman Refinitiv documentation and see this params:

    Hi,

    As you see the pre-request script postman automatically has the time synced with the GMT time.

    I was referring to the request time header from your php code to be in sync with the GMT time.

    Let me know if you would like to get on a quick meeting and take a look at this.


    Regards
