Hi,

I'm trying to perform test eligibility. Please make sure that I'm using the correct data from "Test Data" section and "Configuration"

1) Vendor-Id is taken from: Dashboard > Configuration > Visa Card Eligibility Service

2) Permanent Account number is taken from: Test Data > VCES > Validate (there are four accounts that can be used for tests)

Request:

"permanentAccountNumber": "4000000000000013",

I've timezone as GTM +04:00. When I send request and set timestamp as 4 hours back, otherwise I'm getting timestamp related error. It seems that something wrong with my vendor id on the server. 

As for certificate check, everything is ok here.  The Hello World project is working well! Also, I'm able to retrieve card information using card API (please find below)

Kindly help me to solve this issue. Thanks,

Hey @lzepp81,

I'm happy to help you resolve the issue. I'll take a look and get back to you soon.

Hi Diana,

Do you have any update?

[API_Managers]

Hey @lzepp81,

Can you please confirm the endpoint and the API that you are receiving an error on? Your Postman Endpoint (https://sandbox.api.visa.com/dcas/cardservices/v1/cards) is the Endpoint for DPS Card and Account Services API, however, it appears that the subject of your question is on a different API called Visa Card Eligibility Service (VCES). Please make sure to use the API product's Endpoint that is listed on the product's API Reference page for your sandbox testing or you will receive an error.

I've included links to both API products' API reference pages for you to review and confirm which API product you are testing and receiving an error on.

Visa Card Eligibility Service - https://developer.visa.com/capabilities/vces/reference

DPS Card and Account Services - https://developer.visa.com/capabilities/dps-card-and-account-services/reference

Hi Diana,

I think you got me wrong. If you look at the screen and description that I have shared, I have stated that card API working that is why I shared the screen, in order to show that my HTTP headers are correct. The error that related to vendor is returned for eligibility check service. What I’m saying is that I’m using right endpoints, please read my post once again more carefully please.

Hey @lzepp81,

Thanks for the clarification. Can you please share with us the endpoint you are using for VCES?
