Creating a Request With a Client Application
The client uses a GET method to retrieve the batch statuses. To send the request, the header
must contain an authorization token and the format for the file you want to download. For
information and instructions on creating an authorization token, refer to Getting Started with the REST API.
Client Application Requirements
To connect to the server, your client application must support HTTPS connections. An HTTPS
connection is similar to an HTTP connection, but it is encrypted by using Transport Layer
Security (TLS). Your client application must support HTTP/1.1 and TLS 1.2 connections.
HTTPS libraries are available for many programming languages, including Java, C/C++, Perl,
and Visual Basic. You can implement a client in any language that allows you to use HTTPS to
communicate with the report server.
IMPORTANT
Although you may be able to use a third-party client application to
download
Cybersource
reports, Cybersource
does not recommend
or support third-party client applications or client libraries that may interfere with
Cybersource
applications.Request Format
To create a request, your client
application must send an HTTP GET message to the server. The URL that you specify in your
message indicates which function you are calling and the parameters of the call:
url_prefix
>/ pts
/ v1
/ transaction-batches
/Request Header
The default format for responses is JSON, but the Batch Detail Report can also return CSV
or XML. You can set the response to return CSV or XML in the request header by setting
the
Accept
value to
either application/xml
or text/csv
.
