Validation

The resource returns a list of validation errors as shown below. Each message has messageCode and a message field. If the error is connected to a certain field in the request the message object has two additional fields: parameterName and reason.

  • parameterName: the path to field e.g. contactRequest.postalCode
  • reason: why is this field wrong

    {
  "message": [{
    "messageCode": "ERROR_COMMON_SCHEMA_VALIDATION_FAILED",
    "message": "The request is not schema valid. [Invalid parameter: parameterName=contactAddress.postalCode reason=The request is not schema valid. [postal code does not exists]]",
    "parameterName": "contactAddress.postalCode",
    "reason": "Invalid parameter: parameterName=contactAddress.postalCode reason=The request is not schema valid. [postal code does not exists]"
  }]
}

Basic validation All required fields described above are validated if they exist. Besides that all fields in the request body must have the correct type (date, string, number).

Enum validation The following fields are matched to enum values. If the value can not be matched, a validation error is thrown with one of the follwing parameterNames:

  • contactRequest.contactChannel
  • contactRequest.salutation
  • contactRequest.useType
  • contactRequest.availability
  • contactRequest.financingTerms.employment
  • contactRequest.financingTerms.employmentSector
  • contactRequest.financingTerms.fixedNominalInterestRate
  • contactRequest.financingTerms.financing.projectState
  • contactRequest.financingTerms.financing.type
  • contactRequest.financingTerms.financing.financingStart
  • contactRequest.netIncomeRange
  • contactRequest.primaryAppointmentTime
  • contactRequest.secondaryAppointmentTime
  • contactRequest.borrowerRelationship
  • contactRequest.workContractType
  • contactRequest.maritalStatus
  • contactRequest.title
  • contactRequest.secondBorrower.employment
  • contactRequest.secondBorrower.workContractType
  • contactRequest.secondBorrower.maritalStatus
  • contactRequest.financingObject.type
  • contactRequest.financingObject.subType

Location Validation In the financingTerms object you need to provide either a valid geoCode or postalCode:

  • If geoCode is not 13 digits long or if it does not exist: parameterName=contactRequest.financingTerms.geoCode
  • If postalCode is no existing German postal code: parameterName=contactRequest.financingTerms.postalCode
  • If both are missing: parameterName=location

Blacklisting We do some blacklist checks for most of the String fields. If a blacklist error occurs it is stated in the reason field of the message object. (e.g. " ... [SURNAME is blacklisted]"). The parameterName contains the path of the field, as described above.

Address Validation If you provide an address, it is validated the following way:

  • all fields are required
  • the postalCode must be an existing German postalCode

Phonenumber parameterName=contactRequest.phoneNumber

The phone number must be a digit. Besides that we use some advanced phonenumber parsing. But if the phone number really exists, you should not worry.

How to avoid the 15 min timeout

When the API user does not use the arvato/extended flow, there is a maximum 15 minute waiting time, until the requests get picked up by a task and are processed. This however can be avoided. When the POST request is made, the API returns an ID and a Token. These can be used to make a second request.

PUT /financing/construction/v2/contact/${ID}?token=${TOKEN}

with the body

1

3
{
  "scoringPermitted": false
}

This will make the financing request be processed immediately.
