Error code 9159: Token Validation Failed

Trying to implement the foreign exchange rates API using x-pay-token. The HelloWorld examples works without issue but doing a POST to /forexrates/v2/foreignexchangerates fails with code 9159  - Token Validation Failed.

The request body {"initiatingPartyId": 1002,"rateProductCode": "B","destinationCurrencyCode": "826","sourceCurrencyCode": "840", "quoteIdRequired": true, "sourceAmount": "1.00"} works in Developer Center Playground

 
// Using HelloWorld as the starting point. Changed the resourcePath, requestBody and url
public void getRate(String fromCurrency, String toCurrencies) {

        try {
            String apiKey = "<api key>";
            String sharedSecret = "<shared secret>";
            String resourcePath = "v2/foreignexchangerates"; // excluding /forexrates/
            String queryString = "apiKey=" + apiKey;
            String requestBody = "{\"initiatingPartyId\": 1002,\"rateProductCode\": \"B\",\"destinationCurrencyCode\": \"826\",\"sourceCurrencyCode\": \"840\", \"quoteIdRequired\": true, \"sourceAmount\": \"1.00\"}";

            URL url = new URL("https://sandbox.api.visa.com/forexrates/v2/foreignexchangerates?" + queryString);
            HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            con.setRequestMethod("POST");
            con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
            con.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");

            // String xPayToken = generateXpaytoken(resourcePath + "?" + queryString, queryString, requestBody, sharedSecret);
            String xPayToken = generateXpaytoken(resourcePath, queryString, requestBody, sharedSecret);
            con.setRequestProperty("x-pay-token", xPayToken);

            int status = con.getResponseCode();
            System.out.println("Http Status: " + status);

            BufferedReader in ;
            if (status == 200) { in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
            } else { in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getErrorStream()));
                System.out.println("Api Key-Shared Secret (X-Pay-Token) test failed");
            }
            String response;
            StringBuffer content = new StringBuffer();
            while ((response = in .readLine()) != null) {
                content.append(response);
            } in .close();
            con.disconnect();
            System.out.println(content.toString());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    });
}
