question

We do not have test gift cards available in docs.

We're also trying to utilize the new gift cards API with no luck. We're following the docs:

https://docs.clover.com/docs/create-a-gift-card-token

using a gift card we purchased through one of our merchants with value loaded on it with the below body (we used a real gift card number but didn't want to share it explicitly here):

{
    "gift_card": {
        "card_number": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
    }
}

and we're getting the following response:

{
    "message": "400 Bad Request",
    "error": {
        "type": "invalid_request_error",
        "code": "invalid_request",
        "message": "Please provide a valid gift card number"
    }
}

Any thoughts on how to get this to work?

Are you using a valid API Key in your request?

This sounds very similar with what we are trying to do... Just to confirm, the new gift card restful API should work to check balance or redeem cards? Did you ever find a solution?
