Unable to Register Card in VISA Transaction Control

[Tholkappiyan]

Hi,

I am new to the VISA developer APIs. I started trying out the "Transaction Conrols" API

Steps done:
1. Registered an account in developer portal : tholkappiyan@hypto.in
2. Added a new project (Hypto-Test) with "Visa Transaction Controls"
3. Downloaded the key on creating the project and certificate from "Credentials" page
4. Hit the VISA API with the cert, key, base64 encoded uname:pwd as follows

curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Basic base64-encoded-userID:Password" --key <VISA-key>.pem --cert <VISA-cert>.pem -X POST "https://sandbox.api.visa.com/vctc/customerrules/v1/consumertransactioncontrols" -d '{"primaryAccountNumber": "<VISA Card number>"}'

I tried with multiple valid VISA card numbers, but still getting the following error:

{"metainfo":{"Description":"Invalid Data","Code":422},"error":["Unable to process due to invalid data."]}

I tried '49132098504XXXX' (given in Test data section) as the primaryAccountNumber and got the following error:

{"metainfo":{"Description":"Bad Request","Code":400},"error":["primaryAccountNumber can only have numeric digit.","The length of primaryAccountNumber is between 16 and 19"]}

Am I missing something here? Is there any test card number which will work in the sandbox environment?

Regards,

Tholkappiyan

Hi @Tholkappiyan,

I'd like to post the answer for you in the community forum as well. When you create a test App in our sandbox you will receive Test Data in your App (refer to screenshot below). The test data for your Visa Developer application is available in the Dashboard under test data in the left navigation, this will ensure that you are using valid data that has been provisioned for specific scenarios. You will basically have a table per API that is split into the Request and Response sections and the values on the Request section are meant to be populated in the payload with the intention of obtaining results specified in the Response section.

Sandbox data is limited to what is provided in the Test Data tables and is not integrated to the Visa Network and you cannot test real data in sandbox.

In your prior email, you mentioned that you tried '49132098504XXXX' (given in Test data section) as the primaryAccountNumber and got an error. Please substitute the XXXX with numeric digits. For example, in my Test Data Request, I can set the primaryAccountNumber as {"primaryAccountNumber": "4255255591740001"}, which has only numeric digits (refer to screenshot below). Please let us know if you have other questions.
