In this “How-to” guide, we will show you how to test MLE (Message Level Encryption) enabled APIs using Python.

Working with Two Way SSL https://developer.visa.com/pages/working-with-visa-apis/two-way-ssl
Login to your Visa Developer Dashboard and go to your project, you should see something like this:
Enable the APIs for which MLE needs to be active in VDP by toggling the API for which MLE needs to be enforced.
In this example, we will enable MLE for Funds Transfer API And Query API as below:
You can obtain your project credentials by browsing the left side navigation menu of your project and click on “Credentials”.
Next step we will create a Key-ID by clicking on the Generate Key-ID button.
After you have clicked the button, you will get Key-ID. Copy the Key-ID for your reference.
The Key-ID will look like this: 41d9f2a1-xxxx-4xxx-b40c-a0480c2xxxxx
The next step is to add a CSR (Certificate Signing Request). Click on the link "Add CSR" .
You will be prompt to submit a Certificate Signing Request.
We have option to Generate a CSR for me (default) or submit your own. In this example we will use the Generate a CSR for me (default) and Click Confirm button.
After submitting the request, you will be prompt to download the Certificate/Copy Private Key.
After you have downloaded the private key, check the box "I confirm that I've downloaded my certificate key" and click continue. You will see the Status change to "Active".
Expand the Key-ID and you will see the Server Encryption Certificate and Client Encryption Certificate.
Download both certificates and save it.
To be able to make an API call with MLE, you need to have the following
Refer to How to run Python Sample Code using the Hello World API and Mutual SSL for how to create a project with PyCharm and testing VISA APIs using Mutual SSL.
//For Basic Auth and Mutual SSL
user_id = 'YOUR_USER_ID'
password = 'YOUR_PASSWORD'
cert = 'ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_CERTIFICATE'
key = 'ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_PRIVATE_KEY'
//For MLE
myKey_ID = 'YOUR_KEY_ID'
server_cert = 'YOUR_SERVER_CERT'
private_key = 'YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY'
