consistently getting 403 while following hello world on SoapUI

[deb]

Hi,

I am following 'Getting Started guide' and trying 'helloworld' soapUi tutorial using Shared Key mechanism.

I have created an app in my acc and got keys. My URL is 

http://sandbox.api.visa.com/vdp/helloworld?apikey="my api key"

I have replaced the Shared Key and API Key in groovy script and this is response I am getting

{
"status": 403,
"reason": "AUTHENTICATION_ERROR",
"message": "Access Denied. Please consult the VDP documentation for providing your App with the proper auth credentials for the APIs being accessed."
}

Hi Deb, 

Sorry to hear that!

This is most likely a username/password validation problem, so first double check that you entered the username and password correctly (and there are no extra spaces, etc.) Then send us the raw request (the one that includes all HTTP headers), you can access it by clicking ‘RAW’ tab in SOAPUI). 

Let me know how else I can help. 

Thank you,

Ricardo

Send it over to visadeveloper@visa.com and we can help you further. 

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Ricardo,

I can't seem to create a new post, the button doesn't work so I am posting here. I am getting an error when using the Notification Enquiry API.

I receive the response: 

{
    "message": "Property Sort Key is not valid!"
}

I have successful made a call to the helloworld API end-point. But when I use the following values for the api call it doesn't work.

    'serviceID' => $serviceID,
    'communityCode' => $communityCode,
    'customerId' => $customerID,

    'contactValue' => 'email@domain.com',
    'last4' => '1234',
    
    'notificationType' => 'System',

    'offset' => 1,
    'limit' => 20,
    
    'sortKey' => "desc",
    'sortOrder' => "desc",

Dear ricardo_visa,

I am able to pass that thanks to you, i had to include the correct ssl certificate.

I have another error that is bothering me:

URL:https://sandbox.api.visa.com/visadirect/fundstransfer/v1/pullfundstransactions<br><br>Error: "unable to set private key file: '***********************************************' type PEM" -

Regards,

Thomas

Hi @Thomas,

A couple of notes related to certificates: certificates are required to establish a two-way SSL connection. You will need a root certificate (VICA-SBX.pem), your application certificate (cert.pem), and also your private key.

The private key gets created when you generate your CSR, or you can download the private key from the Visa Developer website, if you chose "create a CSR for me" option, while creating your Visa Developer App.

Once you have all three files in your local directory, you will need to combine them into a key store. You can decide whether to use java key store (JKS) or PKCS (P12) key store, depending on what your development environment requires.

There are sections in “getting started” ->“Using two-way SSL” (https://beta.developer.visa.com/vdpguide#twowayssl), that describe how to create each type of key store, please follow those steps.

Note, that the root certificate is not needed for a P12 file, you can create a P12 file out of two files: private key and cert.pem.

Hope this helps!

I am getting the same issue as @josef with the Notification Inquiry API 

with the response 

{
    "message": "Property Sort Key is not valid!"
}

@Ricardo Just wondering if you end up finding out the reasons? I have sent some emails for help with the VISA API to visadeveloper@visa.com

Many thanks.

Hi Eric,

Can you send me the raw request - the complete request payload together with all corresponding HTTP headers?

Thanks!

Ricardo
