What this endpoint does

This endpoint submits a bulk data request for tester merchant data from Payment Fraud Intelligence (PFI). Tester (or checker) merchant data identifies merchants used by fraudsters to test whether compromised payment cards are still active. These merchants typically see a high volume of small-value transactions from cards that are subsequently used for larger fraudulent purchases elsewhere. Records are scoped to your organization's data. Specify a queryRange with DSL date math for periodic collection — the queryRange uses timeStampAdded as its datetime field. Use the dryRun option at the root level of the request body to preview the record count without creating a task. After submission, use the PFI: Task Status endpoint to poll for completion, then the PFI: Pickup Data endpoint to retrieve results. Refer to the PFI Tester Data dictionary for available fields.

Response data

A successful response returns the count of matching records and, when records exist and dryRun is not set, a taskId for tracking the asynchronous collection task. If the count is zero, no task is created.
