Auth code on transaction API?

[stevenjfr (Steven Roberts)]

Hello!

Wondering if anyone can link me/give me any more information on the metadata block in the transaction API. I’m trying to find something that i can tie up to a paper receipt, something like the Auth code? I can see there is a field for mastercard_auth_message_id, but this is alphanumeric, and the paper receipt is only numeric.

Any ideas or links appreciated!

Might be worth asking in MonzoDevelopers.slack.com ?

mastercard_auth_message_id

This is our Mastercard Message ID which contains the entire message we are sent to process the transaction. The auth code is contained the message response

I’m afraid none of this is exposed by the API and I don’t think there are plans to mainly because it’s quite sensitive data

The auth code can be alphanumeric. It causes issues with some older mobile network systems…

I’ve had a couple that almost spelled out a word…
