Hi,
We are having an issue with one of our applications. Sometimes the DSS REST Api creates a token, without errors but when we try to use it (e.g. to retireve the fields available for a template) we get the following error (with a 401 response code):
{"error":{"message":"Authentication request failed because of invalid token"}}
Even retrying the RequestToken call doesn't help.
@Giovanni.Condello, is this issue solved or is it still occurring ? If it is still occurring, is there anyway you can capture the full request you are making to the API?
Does the problem still occur in your environment ? If so, is there anyway you can capture the full request you are making to the API?
Hi Wasin,
the issue was actually on the application side due a concurrency-related bug. Many thanks for all the help though!
Is it possible to get the Request Correlation Id for the call that failed with the 401?
See https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi.Help/Home/Diagnostics for more information on them.
Hi,
we managed to capture a CorrelationId:
6fb6c6bd-379b-4eac-8c62-2aec2c99c2cb
As it turns out, we have lost some of our internal diagnostic logging and I do not have the token we received, I just see the same message you would have received:
Authentication request failed because of invalid token
If you happen to have the token you used, I would be happy to tell you why it failed when presented.
Note: Tokens are only good for 24 hours - is there any chance this token was older than that?
sorry for the late reply. Tokens are refresh at least every 6 hours so I'd say that's not the issue. Here are more details about other failed requests:

I am not sure what happened to the reply I attempted to post here a few weeks ago... but it is definitely missing.
I was not able to determine anything from all that diagnostic data. Is there anyway you can capture the full request you are making to the API?
I have confirmed that our local logs will have the necessary diagnostic data in them to show me the exact token that was submitted to all 401 returned requests, but until then, I cannot find anything that helps me understand why you are seeing this.
I can say that this is the only report of anyone not able to use their tokens for the full 24 hours and so I am curious to know that we have confirmed that we're sure your systems are not attempting to use a token past 24 hours?
