API and account type

[dancingfool65]

when testing the api transaction details, "VISA" and "MASTERCARD" return fine when

i use getAccountType.    if a transaction is an "American express" or "DIscover" card , "UNKNOWN"

is returned.    is there some setting that needs to be changed in our account to allow "American express" or "DIscover" card to show here?

Hi dancingfool65,

We were able to confirm that our API is properly returning Discover as a type. So there may be a bug if you're using one of the SDKs. Can you let us know which one you are using?

Thanks,

Hi  Michelle,

sorry for not being clear.    we use SIM in our web app.    and manually download the settlement information from the autherize.net web site.   we would like to automate the settlement part , so I am  trying to use anet-java-sdk-1.4.6.jar to retrieve transaction details.  it is when using anet-java-sdk-1.4.6.jar  that i receive "unknown" for Discover and American express transactions.  this happen  when using TransactionType.GET_TRANSACTION_LIST which returns a list of TransactionDetails objects.  this also happens with TransactionType.GET_UNSETTLED_TRANSACTION_LIST.

Thank you for your time.
