The goal of this Getting Started tutorial is to download, build and run the Refinitiv Knowledge Direct (or TRKD) for Perl sample to retrieve content from the RKD data services.
This tutorial is part of a series of tutorials enabling the access of RKD content utilizing different technologies. The series includes the following:
The RKD API does not require us to code using any particular technology platform. However, the RKD package references many examples utilizing popular technologies such as Java, Perl, PHP, Ruby, Websphere and .NET. In this tutorial, we will download the RKD Perl sample, review the contents of the package and build and run the sample. Let's walk through the following steps:
Access the RKD Perl sample package from the Downloads section.
Uncompress the Perl package in a directory of your choosing.
The Perl sample contains a single file demonstrating the ability to retrieve a Quote from TRKD. Prior to running this sample, we need to setup the user credentials. Within the file Quotes.pl, assign your credentials within this section:
# Application
use constant APPLICATIONID => '';
use constant USERNAME => '';
use constant PASSWORD => '';
> Perl Quotes.pl
Content-type: text/html
