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

[philgraetz2020]

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:

<!--- Create the transaction request --->

<cfset var transRequest = StructNew()>

<cfscript>

    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>

<cfset transRequestJSON = SerializeJSON(transRequest)>

<cfhttp url="#AN_URL#" method="post" result="postResult" timeout="30">

    <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="application/json" />

    <cfhttpparam type="body" value="#transRequestJSON#">

</cfhttp>

<cfset var postResultJSON=DeserializeJSON(postResult.FileContent)>

<cfdump var="#postResultJSON#">

'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.
