Accessing OnLine Reports images

Hello!

I am trying to retrieve an image which is returned by a "GetSummaryByTopic" from the OnLine Reports section, such as the one below. I didn´t find an explanation in the help telling me how to retrieve the image file (the .JPG part of the result).

Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Thanks!

Hi,

There is a section in TRKD API programmers guide (TRKD API DEVELOPERS GUIDE) that talks about retrieving online report images. Please refer to the chapter on Online Reports.

let us know if any questions.

thanks,

Waseem

I had already looked at the developers guide, but there wasn´t an explanation for this question.

But I spent some time and now I have a solution: for the news that I have posted, it is knows that the image is: "2017-06-27T203547Z_5_LYNXMPED5Q0ZZ_RTROPTP_1_CYBER-ATTACK-UKRAINE.JPG".

In order to access the image, since there is no URL, it is necessary to assemble it, adding:

http://api.trkd.thomsonreuters.com/api/onlinereports/

2017-06-27T203547Z_5_LYNXMPED5Q0ZZ_RTROPTP_1_CYBER-ATTACK-UKRAINE.JPG

.ashx

There are differences in composition of the url, for example, "https" instead of "http"; or "http://api.rkd.extranet.thomsonreuters.biz".

I would strongly suggest that this particular section of the manual (14.3.5) is improved, otherwise more people may have the same problem.

Regards
