Alerts History and Customer Profiles API Update an Existing Customer Profile Method Not Allowed

[JavierSivack]

Hello,

I'm trying to test these api:

https://sandbox.api.visa.com/vctc/customerrules/v1/consumertransactioncontrols/customer/{userIdentif...}

these is my request body:

{"lastName":"Carlos","firstName":"Perez","countryCode":"USA","isProfileActive":true,"preferredLanguage":"en-us","defaultAlertsPreferences":[{"status":"Active","isVerified":true,"callingCode":"1","contactType":"Email","contactValue":"email@test.com","preferredEmailFormat":"Plain"}]}

and its response is these:

{"responseStatus":{"status":405,"code":"9004","severity":"ERROR","message":"Method Not Allowed","info":""}}

Any idea what can I be doing wrong?

Thanks.

Hi @JavierSivack,

Please use the PATCH method. I tried your test payload and I got below response.

{

Hi Stacy, 

This is my postman request:

PATCH /vctc/customerrules/v1/consumertransactioncontrols/customer/?apiKey=MY_API_KEY&userIdentifier=0b0b8965-cffb-4d92-829f-8bd9891e03da HTTP/1.1
Host: sandbox.api.visa.com
x-pay-token: {{x-pay-token}}
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 426

{
    "lastName": "Carlos",
    "firstName": "Perez",
    "countryCode": "USA",
    "isProfileActive": true,
    "preferredLanguage": "en-us",
    "defaultAlertsPreferences": [
        {
            "status": "Active",
            "isVerified": true,
            "callingCode": "1",
            "contactType": "Email",
            "contactValue": "email@test.com",
            "preferredEmailFormat": "Plain"
        }
    ]
}

 This is my pre-request script:

var resourcePath = 'customerrules/v1/consumertransactioncontrols/customer/';
var queryParams = 'apiKey=MY_API_KEY&userIdentifier=0b0b8965-cffb-4d92-829f-8bd9891e03da';
var sharedSecret = 'V-sYZMEX1OfO1zsL/u8vxeo04+zwwxJyaGAKdQx$';
var postBody = pm.request.body.toString();

var timestamp = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);  
var preHashString = timestamp + resourcePath + queryParams + postBody;  
var hashString = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.stringify(CryptoJS.HmacSHA256(preHashString, sharedSecret));
var xPayToken = 'xv2:' + timestamp + ':' + hashString;

postman.setEnvironmentVariable('x-pay-token', xPayToken);

This is response header:

Server: nginx
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2021 13:08:55 GMT
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 107
Connection: keep-alive

X-CORRELATION-ID: 1631711335_247_2066827139_l55c017_VDP_WS
X-APP-STATUS: 405

This is response body:

{"responseStatus":{"status":405,"code":"9004","severity":"ERROR","message":"Method Not Allowed","info":""}}

Sorry, I do not get my error. 

Thanks

Hi Stacy, 

I had found the problem. I was sending userIdentifier as query param. And its mean to be pass as part of the path. 

Sending this (wrong):

PATCH /vctc/customerrules/v1/consumertransactioncontrols/customer/?apiKey=MY_API_KEY&userIdentifier=0b0b8965-cffb-4d92-829f-8bd9891e03da

instead of this (correct):

PATCH /vctc/customerrules/v1/consumertransactioncontrols/customer/0b0b8965-cffb-4d92-829f-8bd9891e03da?apiKey=MY_API_KEY

Thanks.
