Merchant Locator always returns "No matching records found"

[Harmoney]

Hi Community,

I tried to make a Merchant Locator service call, but always got "No matching records found".  The request was actually taken from the sample code at https://developer.visa.com/guides/vdpguide#sample_code_first_app. Everything are the same, even the latitude and longitude, only changed the distance from "2" to "100".

Below are my request and response:

        "startIndex": "0"
    },

}
