Do you need to use key file and .pem file to access visa direct api?

[yibs]

I did the following in .NET

 httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
            httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
            httpWebRequest.Accept = "application/json,application/octet-stream";
            String username = "usernamehere";
            String password = "passwordhere";
            String encoded = System.Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1").GetBytes(username + ":" + password));
            httpWebRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization",encoded);

Im getting an error 500. Do I need to include files when im making a post request?

Hey @yibs,

Yes, you will need to use key file and .pem file.

Are you able to successfully test “Hello World” example with SOAP UI? If yes, Please share screen shots and response header having correlation ID to evaluate error further.

Please follow the Authentication Two-Way SSL guide here and follow the steps in its specific sequence  - https://developer.visa.com/pages/working-with-visa-apis/two-way-ssl

If you're still experiencing an issue, to further investigate, please provide the following information:

1. End Point
2. Request Header
3. Request Body
4. Response Header (include the x-correlation-id)
5. Response Body

Using SoapUI, you can find the x-correlation-id in the Raw Tab of the response header.

Where can I find the SOAP UI to test out the Hello World?

Hey @yibs,

You can download SoapUI 5.4 from http://www.soapui.org
