### Authentication type response parameter for card transactions

The API now returns the `AuthenticationResult.AuthenticationType` property on all relevant card transactions, which has the possible values:

* `CHALLENGE` – The issuer requested SCA to be enforced (for example, using 3DS).
* `FRICTIONLESS` – The transaction was exempted from SCA because an exemption was granted by the issuer.
* `DIRECT_AUTHORIZATION` – The transaction was sent to the issuer for authorization without any frictionless or challenge (for example, if SCA doesn't apply).

The property reflects both:

* The final state of the authentication request that Mangopay made to the issuer,
* The decision of the issuer regarding the type of authentication to be enforced (if applicable)

A `null` value typically indicates that authentication was not requested (for example, because the request failed before being sent) or a decision was not received.

The parameter is returned on the following requests:

* [POST Create a Direct Card PayIn](/api-reference/direct-card-payins/create-direct-card-payin)
* [POST Create a Recurring Card PayIn (CIT)](/api-reference/recurring-card-payins/create-recurring-payin-cit)
