API Login with LogIn ID and password

Lassen — Fri, 12 Aug 2016 20:47:15 GMT

Trying to make an VB.NET app where user would log in with LogIn ID and password (rather than APILogInID and APITransactionKey), just like when using an Internet browser to charge a credit card.

ApiOperationBase(Of ANetApiRequest, ANetApiResponse).RunEnvironment = AuthorizeNet.Environment.SANDBOX

ApiOperationBase(Of ANetApiRequest, ANetApiResponse).MerchantAuthentication = New merchantAuthenticationType() With {

.name = txtLoginID.Text,

.ItemElementName = ItemChoiceType.password,

.Item = txtPassword.Text}

But I get:

Error: E00059 The authentication type is not allowed for this method call.

Is that because using .SANDBOX or is .ItemElementName = ItemChoiceType.password not allowed, even though it apears to be an option?

Hello @Lassen

As the error message indicates, you cannot use the API with a Login ID and Password to authenticate.

Thank you Richard.

Are there any plans to enable this?
