API Response Codes

stephenframstad — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 13:22:27 GMT

According to the API PDF (http://www.authorize.net/support/AIM_guide.pdf) there are 45 return fields.

Using the url: https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll

If i send

x_delim_data=true&x_relay_response=false&x_card_num=4111111111111111&x_exp_date=1015&x_amount=1.00

I get about 22 fields returned

But if i send

x_solution_ID=A1000006&x_currency_code=USD&x_delim_data=TRUE&x_relay_response=FALSE&x_type=AUTH_CAPTURE&x_method=CC&x_invoice_num=20140221213924_1393043964&x_amount=70.44&cardType=American+Express&x_exp_date=0120&x_card_code=002&x_card_num=370000000000002&x_address=SM+Road&x_zip=46208

I get about 65 fields returned

I'm trying to write a handler but It's hard to understand what the extra fields are since it seems like it's 20 that aren't in the API document.

Should be 39

see the merchant defined field 1,merchant defined field 2.

If you pass in anything that is not authorize.net defined. it will echo back in the response.

According to the API document there are 45 response fields if you count them, though the fields numbers start to jump after 40 to 51 (i believe this to be a typo in the guide). Even if it was 39 or even the 45, how come i only get 22 when i do a simple transaction? Shouldn't it always give me at least all the responses?

Look like it wasn't updated. They added parital authorization later and start with index 51.

Can you post the response?

Returns 68 fields:

Actually, I was mistaken, it always returns 68 fields it seems. But what are the other fields?

I was right, i found the call that gave me only 22 fields

That the response from Card Present, it different then Card NOT Present

http://www.authorize.net/support/CP_guide.pdf

23 and up are for split authorization only

Re: API Response Codes

stephenframstad — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 18:32:04 GMT

What field determines if a card is present or not?

Re: API Response Codes

stephenframstad — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 18:39:03 GMT

Also, i still don't understand where the extra fields are from in the Card Not present

Re: API Response Codes

RichardH — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 18:44:36 GMT

If you examine the latest AIM XML guide or the API Reference, you'll notice that createTransactionRequest supports both Card Present (Track Data) and Card Not Present (Card Number or encrypted data) in the same API. It also supports transactions submitted encrypted card data or a CIM profile.

I now have realized that. What I can't figure out is how to map the 68 fields that respond in CNP. The api pdf (non-xml) only lists 45 responses.

Re: API Response Codes

RaynorC1emen7 — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 18:55:17 GMT

There isn't a field that determines CNP or CP, it the account that you have with authorize.net.

What do you mean the extra fields are from? isn't it listed on the pdf doc?

Some are blank(saved for future use), so don't map those, just follow the index on the pdf

Like RichardH said, you could use the XML verison, then everything will be in a node.

Re: API Response Codes

RichardH — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 19:13:44 GMT

The current AIM NVP guide indicates there will be 68 fields returned (assuming you're using V3.1), however those above 55 are not yet defined.
