Authenticating merchant API credentials (API LoginID and Transaction key)

[leela]

We have integrated Authorize.Net in our application.And we are collecting API LoginID and Transaction key from merchants in order to process their transactions. Is there any way to authenticate the merchant given credentials(API LoginID and Transaction key), whether they are valid or not.Please tell me if there is any way to do this.

We'll be adding this to our API Reference shortly, but you can use this:

Sample Request:

<?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="utf-8"?>
<authenticateTestRequestxmlns="AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd">
   <merchantAuthentication>
      <name>API_Login</name>
      <transactionKey>Trans_Key</transactionKey>
   </merchantAuthentication>
</authenticateTestRequest>
 
Sample Successful Response:

<authenticateTestResponse>
   <messages>
      <resultCode>Ok</resultCode>
      <message>
         <code>I00001</code>
         <text>Successful.</text>
      </message>
   </messages>
</authenticateTestResponse>
 
Sample Error Response:

<authenticateTestResponse>
   <messages>
      <resultCode>Error</resultCode>
      <message>
         <code>E00007</code>
         <text>User authentication failed due to invalid authentication values.</text>
      </message>
   </messages>
</authenticateTestResponse>
