Merchant Locator API showing 404 error

[kunalanand241]

I am using visa merchant locator API. While sending the request, I replaced merchantName field in the json request with merchant category code but i got 404 error in response.

My request:

{
  "header": {
    "messageDateTime": "2020-06-23T07:02:13.903",
    "requestMessageId": "Request_001",
    "startIndex": "0"
  },
  "searchAttrList": {
    "MerchantCategoryCode": ["5814"],
    "merchantCountryCode": "840",
    "latitude": "37.363922",
    "longitude": "-121.929163",
    "distance": "2",
    "distanceUnit": "KM"
  },
  "responseAttrList": [
  "GNLOCATOR"
  ],
  "searchOptions": {
  "maxRecords": "5",
  "matchIndicators": "true",
  "matchScore": "true"
  }
}

Hi @kunalanand241,

Please try  "merchantCategoryCode": ["5814"], with the lower case "m" and let me know if you can get a successful response.

Yup that worked for me but the developer team should have a look at the API reference guide where the response attribute key for category is mentioned as MerchantCategoryCode and due to which i got the issue.it should be fixed.

Hi @kunalanand241, 

Thank you for reporting the API doc error. I'll let our internal team know so that this error can be corrected in a future release.
