Sandbox URL Returning 403 outside browser

I am trying to access the sandbox using https://apitest.authorize.net/soap/v1/Service.asmx.

When I access it from a web  browser window the interface seems to work.

 

However when I try to access it from inside Visual Studio as a service reference, or using Microsoft WCFTestClient tool, I alway get a 403: Forbidden status.

 

The production api https://api2.authorize.net/soap/v1/Service.asmx seems to work from all the interfaces including the browser, visual studio and wcftest client.

 

Does anyone know what the issue might be accesing the testapi from visual studio?

 

Thanks,

 

Joel

@jmazo Are you able to capture all the HTTP data being returned, including headers and body?

Specifically, there should be a Reference # given after the HTTP error, which we could use to troubleshoot the issue.

If you can't acquire that, the HTTP headers and a timestamp for the request(s) would be helpful. But the Reference # would be of most help.

Hello @jmazo

 

Have you tried this url: https://apitest.authorize.net/soap/v1/Service.asmx?wsdl

That seem to work. Learn something new, never have to put ?wsdl in before.

Seems to work for me too. Thanks.
