Examples

Submit key

This example test transaction with submit key "a6eca4fa2cdce8f343a8a3e2047badda" for the assertion:

  • Transaction's delivery status is equal to "Not Ready".
Example request
POST /manager/secure/rest/test-center/v1/ HTTP/1.1
Host: https://transact.maguire.com
Content-Type: application/json

{
"submitKey": "a6eca4fa2cdce8f343a8a3e2047badda",
"assertions": [
{
"assertedValue": "Not Ready",
"assertion": "equals",
"path": "deliveryStatus",
"type": "txn"
}
]
}

Note that the response assertion "status" is true.

Example response
{
"submitKey": "a6eca4fa2cdce8f343a8a3e2047badda",
"assertions": [
{
"assertedValue": "Not Ready",
"assertion": "equals",
"path": "deliveryStatus",
"status": true,
"type": "txn"
}
]
}

Transaction not found

This example tests for a transaction with tracking code "1234567890", but no such transaction exists.

Example request
POST /manager/secure/rest/test-center/v1/ HTTP/1.1
Host: https://transact.maguire.com
Content-Type: application/json

{
"trackingCode": "1234567890",
"assertions": [
{
"assertedValue": "Completed",
"assertion": "equals",
"path": "deliveryStatus",
"type": "txn"
}
]
}

This request returns a 404 Not Found response.

Not found submission for the specified submitKey/trackingCode.

Several assertions

This example tests the transaction with tracking code "YMQ8TN6" against these four assertions:

  • The Form data map path "FirstName" is equal to "JeffJ".
  • Transaction's delivery status is equal to "Completed".
  • Transaction's delivery status does not contain "Comp1".
  • Form XML's revision number is greater than "5".
Example request
POST /manager/secure/rest/test-center/v1/ HTTP/1.1
Host: https://transact.maguire.com

{
"trackingCode": "YMQ8TN6",

},
{
"assertedValue": "Completed",
"assertion": "equals",
"path": "deliveryStatus",
"type": "txn"
},
{

"type": "txn"
},
{
"assertedValue": "5",
