REST API

Device Data Collection Overview

The device data collection collects the required browser data elements in order to make the EMV 3-D Secure 2.x request and to invoke the EMV 3-D Secure Method URL when it is available.
The Direct API places the required Method URL on the merchant site on behalf of the merchant. Per EMV 3-D Secure requirements, if the issuing bank uses a Method URL, it must run on the merchant site. This is done after a merchant passes in the card number on the POST to the device data collection URL. Options on how to include the BIN are described below.
The Method URL is a concept in the EMV 3-D Secure protocol that enables an issuing bank to obtain additional browser information before starting the authentication session to help facilitate risk-based authentication. The implementation techniques for obtaining the additional browser information are out of scope of the EMV 3-D Secure protocol.
