Certify Test Result

Purpose

Bridge the gap between theoretical understanding and real‑world API execution—ensuring new deductors can use the TDS APIs effectively, not just know about them.

Key Objectives

Understand the TDS API
Master request payload creation
Execute APIs in the sandbox
Build confidence for production operations

Benefits

Skill Development: build valid payloads, call APIs, and interpret results
Error Reduction: practice in sandbox to avoid production errors
Improved Productivity: automate filing tasks
Smooth Onboarding: step‑by‑step guidance
Confidence & Readiness: realistic testing prepares you for production

24Q Test Case Suite (Sandbox)

Execute the scenarios below in sandbox. Important: include the header x-test-case with the respective Test Case ID while calling the API.

Evaluate & Certify Results

After you execute all test cases, call /tspdata/api/certifyResult. The service evaluates the executed calls for your clientId within the provided time window, based on HTTP status codes, and returns the test results in JSON.

For execute the API, you login to the developer portal and go the API document page and then select the TDS-Data-Master from the drop down. Here you can see the Certify Results API.

CertifyPortal

curl -X POST 'http://test-api.tdscpc.gov.in/tspdata/api/certifyResult' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "clientId": "5aa58413",
    "startTime": "2026-02-01T18:30:00.000Z",
    "endTime":   "2026-02-09T18:29:59.000Z"
  }'

Execution Checklist

For each scenario above, prepare the payload and call the corresponding endpoint in the Sandbox.
Include the header x-test-case: <TestCaseID> for every request—this is mandatory for evaluation.
After completing all runs within the agreed window, invoke Certify Results for your clientId and the date‑time range you executed.
Review the JSON response to confirm pass/fail status per case (evaluation is based on HTTP status codes).
