cfhttp with JSON error message - invalid child element 'name'

philgraetz2020 — Fri, 08 May 2020 03:05:25 GMT

I am using Accept.js. Attempting to POST createTransactionRequest. I keep getting the errror:

The element 'merchantAuthentication' in namespace 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd' has invalid child element 'name' in namespace 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd'. List of possible elements expected: 'mobileDeviceId' in namespace 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd'.

I've carefully checked my JSON and I believe it's correct. Here's my code:

transRequest = {

"createTransactionRequest": {

"merchantAuthentication": {

"name": "#AN_MERCHANT_NAME#",

"transactionKey": "#AN_TRANSACTION_KEY#"

"refId": "#refId#",

"transactionRequest": {

"transactionType": "authCaptureTransaction",

"amount": "#amount#",

"payment": {

"opaqueData": {

"dataDescriptor": "#dataDescriptor#",

"dataValue": "#dataValue#"

}

};

</cfscript>

</cfhttp>

'mobileDeviceId' Isn't even in createTransactionRequest.

What is going wrong?

I'm trying this with Postman and gettting the same results.

POST to: https://apitest.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api

Body: "raw", "JSON"

{

"createTransactionRequest": {
"merchantAuthentication": {
"transactionKey": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"name": "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
},
"refId": "FE3-839F030E27EEE7A4",
"transactionRequest": {
"payment": {
"opaqueData": {
"dataDescriptor": "COMMON.ACCEPT.INAPP.PAYMENT",
"dataValue": "eyJ0b2tlbiI6Ijk1ODg5NDEzMDU4NzY5NDE5MDQ2MDIiLCJ2IjoiMS4xIn0="
}
},
"amount": 10,
"transactionType": "authCaptureTransaction"
}
}
}

Same result:

{

"messages": {

"resultCode": "Error",

"message": [

{

"code": "E00003",

"text": "The element 'merchantAuthentication' in namespace 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd' has invalid child element 'name' in namespace 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd'. List of possible elements expected: 'mobileDeviceId' in namespace 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd'."

}

]

}

Interesting. I changed the request to use XML (with Postman). And it works.

So, it would appear I am doing something wrong with JSON. (?)

With JSON, it will fail with that error message just by having the "name" and "transactionKey" in the wrong order. Try:

{
    "createTransactionRequest": {
        "merchantAuthentication": {
            "name": "API_Login",
            "transactionKey": "Transaction_key"

        }

I had seen comments about JSON order in other threads. I changed the order to match. Same result.
