How do I find my API endpoint?

jkoerber23 — Mon, 29 Jan 2018 21:46:13 GMT

As the TLS 1.2 update looms, I was frustrated to find I couldn't easily determine if we were on the Janary 30 or Feb 8 test group for TLS 1.2.

Where can you determine the endpoint that our servers are passing API calls for AIM and CIM transactions? I assume this is listed somewhere – either in the API code or in documentation somewhere.

I have a folder called /sdk-php-master that is where the code lives, but how can I determine my endpoint from these lists?

Thanks!

Normally, the endpoint for AIM/CIM/ARB XMLor JSON requests would be -

https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api - For Non-Akamai

OR
https://api2.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api - for Akamai

Check out more details about here- Akamai

I just looked at the SDK for php, endpoint host is defined in the following file.

is this what you are looking for?

Bhavana,

Thanks for the response. I found the file you pointed out which makes sense, but I also see the following in the AuthorizeNetCIM.php. Which seems to say that there may be more than one ultimate endpoint if you use both AIM and CIM calls. The CIM one matches the endpoint in the /constants/ file, but the AIM one points to a different endpoint.

/**
 * A class to send a request to the CIM XML API.
 *
 * @package    AuthorizeNet
 * @subpackage AuthorizeNetCIM
 */ 
class AuthorizeNetCIM extends AuthorizeNetRequest
{

    const LIVE_URL = "https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api";
    const SANDBOX_URL = "https://apitest.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api";

and also in the AuthorizeNetAIM.php file:

/**
 * Builds and sends an AuthorizeNet AIM Request.
 *
 * @package    AuthorizeNet
 * @subpackage AuthorizeNetAIM
 */
class AuthorizeNetAIM extends AuthorizeNetRequest
{

    const LIVE_URL = 'https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll';
    const SANDBOX_URL = 'https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll';

So if these are my two endpoints, I fall on the Feb 8 testing date for TLS disable.

I have missed pasting the endpoints for the AIM. But, thanks for finding them though.

Normally all the anet api requests (Payments, Subscriptions,CustomerProfile) goes to https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api.

AIM, SIM method requests goes to endpoint - https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll. But, we recommend you moving away from AIM.

Hello Bhavana,

Does the Authorize.Net API support JSON? How does it work then? I've been looking for the variants here, but there're so many details to consider that I'm at a loss.
