Issue in Authentication using Talend ETL Tool

API Issues
#1

Hi All,

I have been trying to access the API and get the Data using the Data Extraction Tool for ETL. I am using talend and i do not have option to use API Key for authentication. I do have the option to use Username and password as an Authentication.

Is there any way to use it as the authentication ?

Or else can i pass the Authentication Key as a header or query string ?

Also this query does not reflect anything :-
https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies?q=OakNorth&i=wfF4WyhWoFLb3m_dLh7OZeuyoIsKxmpThwHrjMNO

Please let me know if can be of any help.

Thanks,
Tushar

I am sorry but we are unable to support third party tools.
You cannot use the API without an API key. Your query:-
https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies?q=OakNorth&i=wfF4WyhWoFLb3m_dLh7OZeuyoIsKxmpThwHrjMNO
is not valid. the i parameter is not valid, the API cannot be used like this.

is the website equivalent.
