Hi @Kimsong

 

The 401 Token Validation Failed error you're getting will be seen when the x-pay-token sent in the header is invalid. 

 

A couple of things I'd like you to note while generating the token: 

  1. For starters, please follow the getting started documentation to generate a valid token. https://developer.visa.com/pages/working-with-visa-apis#get-started-overview  
  2. APIkey in the url query param should be the same as the one used to generate xpayToken 
  3. “resourcePath” sent in the xpaytoken has to be as per the documentation (eg: v2/payments?apikey={apikey}). 
  4. Payload sent in the request payload should exactly match along with spaces to the “requestBody” value used in xpaytoken. 

 

Please double check these items to ensure your x-pay-token was set up correctly.

 

Thanks, 

Illana
