Getting Error while trying to test Visa Direct API using Postman

I just made an account to play around with the Visa Direct API. 

https://developer.visa.com/capabilities/visa_direct/reference

 

When I click run it works there so I wanted to test it in Postman. I copied that body and pasted it into the postman body. In the header I added my credentials but I keep getting this error.

 

{
    "responseStatus": {
        "code": "9501",
        "severity": "ERROR",
        "message": "Requested Content Type is Not Allowed for API",
        "info": "",
        "status": "415"
    }
}
 
 
I have no idea what to do. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @yibs,

To further investigate, please provide the following information:
1. End Point URL
2. Request Header
3. Request Body
4. Response Header
5. Response Body

If you can attach screenshots of the Postman screen showing the error, that would be very helpful.


Best,
Stacey

Hi @yibs,

Please check your Postman Settings and make sure on the Proxy tab "Use System Proxy" is set to On.

Can you send your client code that generated the x-pay token, once we have that this can be looked into.
