Hey @VikasA,

CyberSource Secure Acceptance Flexible Token v1 APIs was deprecated, therefore, you will not be able to use the Flex API. You will need to move to v2 CyberSource Rest APIs going forward.
 
For more details , please refer to Cybersource API reference page @ below link.
https://developer.visa.com/capabilities/cybersource/reference#cybersource__cybs_payments_v2 

Currently, the only method to properly query the CyberCource Payments sandbox is creating a merchant account directly with CyberSource:  https://developer.cybersource.com 
 

Luckily, their site also provides an easy to use method to test their account credentials:

Additionally, here are the following links for sample code:  https://github.com/CyberSource/cybersource-rest-samples-java/blob/master/src/main/java/samples/payme...
