How to generate opaqueData using .NET SDK?

Mirimon — Wed, 14 Jun 2017 18:46:08 GMT

I use Accept.JS for the frontend, and my backend (.NET web service) has a method, which gets opaqueData from UI. I want to write unit tests for this method, however I cannot find any way to generate this data using your .NET SDK library. Is it possible to generate valid opaqueData using .NET SDK?

Hello @Mirimon

We currently don't support creating a token through the SDK/API, but we can see how this would be helpful. Another developer made a similar request. You can add your vote to add this in our Ideas forum.

Hi @Mirimon,

Richard's correct that we don't currently support a way of getting a token through the API, there is a way to make an API call to do what you ask. I posted samples of the request and response in this thread.

There is nothing built into the .NET SDK that would access this method, though, so you'd be sending a JSON/XML request directly into our API endpoint yourself.
