Not able to test Merchant lookup APIs

[dhuadaar]

I have setup a test project for evaluation of the Merchant Lookup APIs.

I was able to get past setup and authentication. 

However, whenever I try to use the API to generate some results, it gives me an error. I am assuming only a limited set of information is available in sandbox to test with.

Can someone help me how to get access to the test data to run some simulations?

Hey @jenn_kh

Was there any update on this query?

Hi @dhuadaar, 

If you are testing the Merchant Search API suite, you can find test data by navigating to "Test Data" on the left side of your Project Dashboard.

Let me know if you have additional questions and hope this helps.

Thanks, 

Illana

Thanks

I did saw that section earlier.
However, it only consist of one sample and that too for the Merchant Search API and not the Lookup API.

Any further cues that you might have?
I am particularly looking to test both separately.

Merchant Search and well as Lookup

Hi @dhuadaar,

You can use this sample Lookup API test data below.
