Hey @malviyaash18,

For Visa Developer error codes, go here - https://developer.visa.com/pages/visa-developer-error-codes

The project is trying to hit an URI/http method combination that does not exist. 

Refer to the API documentation to validate you are hitting the right endpoint.

To further investigate, please provide the following information:

1. End Point
2. Request Header
3. Request Body
4. Response Header (include the x-correlation-id)
5. Response Body

Using SoapUI, you can find the x-correlation-id in the Raw Tab of the response header.

All the required details are mentioned above in my Python Code. I think there is a issue in syntax of URL.

Hey @malviyaash18,

Is your Method Not Allowed issue resolved? 

[jules21]

405 Method Not Allowed response status code usually means you either tried a GET on something that only allows POST, or vice-versa, or tried http: on a method that requires https.

same here that URL(https://sandbox.api.visa.com/vdp/helloworld) takes Get Method and you're using POST method while making a request. 

in order to correct that error change your request method to GET
