plaid.accountsBalanceGetThe
/accounts/balance/getendpoint returns the real-time balance for each of an Item's accounts. While other endpoints may return a balance object, only/accounts/balance/getforces the available and current balance fields to be refreshed rather than cached. This endpoint can be used for existing Items that were added via any of Plaid’s other products. This endpoint can be used as long as Link has been initialized with any other product,balanceitself is not a product that can be used to initialize Link. As this endpoint triggers a synchronous request for fresh data, latency may be higher than for other Plaid endpoints; if you encounter errors, you may find it necessary to adjust your timeout period when making requests. -
plaid.accountsGetThe
/accounts/getendpoint can be used to retrieve a list of accounts associated with any linked Item. Plaid will only return active bank accounts — that is, accounts that are not closed and are capable of carrying a balance. For items that went through the updated account selection pane, this endpoint only returns accounts that were permissioned by the user when they initially created the Item. If a user creates a new account after the initial link, you can capture this event through the webhook and then use Link's to request that the user share this new account with you.This endpoint retrieves cached information, rather than extracting fresh information from the institution. As a result, balances returned may not be up-to-date; for realtime balance information, use
/accounts/balance/getinstead. Note that some information is nullable. -
plaid.applicationGetAllows financial institutions to retrieve information about Plaid clients for the purpose of building control-tower experiences
-
plaid.assetReportAuditCopyCreatePlaid can provide an Audit Copy of any Asset Report directly to a participating third party on your behalf. For example, Plaid can supply an Audit Copy directly to Fannie Mae on your behalf if you participate in the Day 1 Certainty™ program. An Audit Copy contains the same underlying data as the Asset Report.
To grant access to an Audit Copy, use the
/asset_report/audit_copy/createendpoint to create anaudit_copy_tokenand then pass that token to the third party who needs access. Each third party has its ownauditor_id, for examplefannie_mae. You’ll need to create a separate Audit Copy for each third party to whom you want to grant access to the Report. -
plaid.assetReportAuditCopyGet/asset_report/audit_copy/getallows auditors to get a copy of an Asset Report that was previously shared via the/asset_report/audit_copy/createendpoint. The caller of/asset_report/audit_copy/createmust provide theaudit_copy_tokento the auditor. This token can then be used to call/asset_report/audit_copy/create. -
plaid.assetReportAuditCopyRemoveThe
/asset_report/audit_copy/removeendpoint allows you to remove an Audit Copy. Removing an Audit Copy invalidates theaudit_copy_tokenassociated with it, meaning both you and any third parties holding the token will no longer be able to use it to access Report data. Items associated with the Asset Report, the Asset Report itself and other Audit Copies of it are not affected and will remain accessible after removing the given Audit Copy. -
plaid.assetReportCreateThe
/asset_report/createendpoint initiates the process of creating an Asset Report, which can then be retrieved by passing theasset_report_tokenreturn value to the/asset_report/getor/asset_report/pdf/getendpoints.The Asset Report takes some time to be created and is not available immediately after calling
/asset_report/create. When the Asset Report is ready to be retrieved using/asset_report/getor/asset_report/pdf/get, Plaid will fire aPRODUCT_READYwebhook. For full details of the webhook schema, see .The
/asset_report/createendpoint creates an Asset Report at a moment in time. Asset Reports are immutable. To get an updated Asset Report, use the/asset_report/refreshendpoint. -
plaid.assetReportFilterBy default, an Asset Report will contain all of the accounts on a given Item. In some cases, you may not want the Asset Report to contain all accounts. For example, you might have the end user choose which accounts are relevant in Link using the Account Select view, which you can enable in the dashboard. Or, you might always exclude certain account types or subtypes, which you can identify by using the
/accounts/getendpoint. To narrow an Asset Report to only a subset of accounts, use the/asset_report/filterendpoint.To exclude certain Accounts from an Asset Report, first use the
/asset_report/createendpoint to create the report, then send theasset_report_tokenalong with a list ofaccount_idsto exclude to the/asset_report/filterendpoint, to create a new Asset Report which contains only a subset of the original Asset Report's data.Because Asset Reports are immutable, calling
/asset_report/filterdoes not alter the original Asset Report in any way; rather,/asset_report/filtercreates a new Asset Report with a new token and id. Asset Reports created via/asset_report/filterdo not contain new Asset data, and are not billed.Plaid will fire a webhook once generation of the filtered Asset Report has completed.
-
plaid.assetReportGetThe
/asset_report/getendpoint retrieves the Asset Report in JSON format. Before calling/asset_report/get, you must first create the Asset Report using/asset_report/create(or filter an Asset Report using/asset_report/filter) and then wait for the webhook to fire, indicating that the Report is ready to be retrieved.By default, an Asset Report includes transaction descriptions as returned by the bank, as opposed to parsed and categorized by Plaid. You can also receive cleaned and categorized transactions, as well as additional insights like merchant name or location information. We call this an Asset Report with Insights. An Asset Report with Insights provides transaction category, location, and merchant information in addition to the transaction strings provided in a standard Asset Report.
To retrieve an Asset Report with Insights, call the
/asset_report/getendpoint withinclude_insightsset totrue. -
plaid.assetReportPdfGetThe
/asset_report/pdf/getendpoint retrieves the Asset Report in PDF format. Before calling/asset_report/pdf/get, you must first create the Asset Report using/asset_report/create(or filter an Asset Report using/asset_report/filter) and then wait for the webhook to fire, indicating that the Report is ready to be retrieved.The response to
/asset_report/pdf/getis the PDF binary data. Therequest_idis returned in thePlaid-Request-IDheader..
-
plaid.assetReportRefreshAn Asset Report is an immutable snapshot of a user's assets. In order to "refresh" an Asset Report you created previously, you can use the
/asset_report/refreshendpoint to create a new Asset Report based on the old one, but with the most recent data available.The new Asset Report will contain the same Items as the original Report, as well as the same filters applied by any call to
/asset_report/filter. By default, the new Asset Report will also use the same parameters you submitted with your original/asset_report/createrequest, but the originaldays_requestedvalue and the values of any parameters in theoptionsobject can be overridden with new values. To change these arguments, simply supply new values for them in your request to/asset_report/refresh. Submit an empty string ("") for any previously-populated fields you would like set as empty. -
plaid.assetReportRemoveThe
/item/removeendpoint allows you to invalidate anaccess_token, meaning you will not be able to create new Asset Reports with it. Removing an Item does not affect any Asset Reports or Audit Copies you have already created, which will remain accessible until you remove them specifically.The
/asset_report/removeendpoint allows you to remove an Asset Report. Removing an Asset Report invalidates itsasset_report_token, meaning you will no longer be able to use it to access Report data or create new Audit Copies. Removing an Asset Report does not affect the underlying Items, but does invalidate anyaudit_copy_tokensassociated with the Asset Report. -
plaid.authGetThe
/auth/getendpoint returns the bank account and bank identification numbers (such as routing numbers, for US accounts) associated with an Item's checking and savings accounts, along with high-level account data and balances when available.Note: This request may take some time to complete if
authwas not specified as an initial product when creating the Item. This is because Plaid must communicate directly with the institution to retrieve the data.Versioning note: In API version 2017-03-08, the schema of the
numbersobject returned by this endpoint is substantially different. For details, see . -
plaid.bankTransferBalanceGetUse the
/bank_transfer/balance/getendpoint to see the available balance in your bank transfer account. Debit transfers increase this balance once their status is posted. Credit transfers decrease this balance when they are created.The transactable balance shows the amount in your account that you are able to use for transfers, and is essentially your available balance minus your minimum balance.
Note that this endpoint can only be used with FBO accounts, when using Bank Transfers in the Full Service configuration. It cannot be used on your own account when using Bank Transfers in the BTS Platform configuration.
-
plaid.bankTransferCancelUse the
/bank_transfer/cancelendpoint to cancel a bank transfer. A transfer is eligible for cancelation if thecancellableproperty returned by/bank_transfer/getistrue. -
plaid.bankTransferCreateUse the
/bank_transfer/createendpoint to initiate a new bank transfer. -
plaid.bankTransferEventListUse the
/bank_transfer/event/listendpoint to get a list of Plaid-initiated ACH or bank transfer events based on specified filter criteria. When using Auth with micro-deposit verification enabled, this endpoint can be used to fetch status updates on ACH micro-deposits. For more details, see . -
plaid.bankTransferEventSync/bank_transfer/event/syncallows you to request up to the next 25 Plaid-initiated bank transfer events that happened after a specificevent_id. When using Auth with micro-deposit verification enabled, this endpoint can be used to fetch status updates on ACH micro-deposits. For more details, see . -
plaid.bankTransferGetThe
/bank_transfer/getfetches information about the bank transfer corresponding to the givenbank_transfer_id. -
plaid.bankTransferListUse the
/bank_transfer/listendpoint to see a list of all your bank transfers and their statuses. Results are paginated; use thecountandoffsetquery parameters to retrieve the desired bank transfers. -
plaid.bankTransferMigrateAccountAs an alternative to adding Items via Link, you can also use the
/bank_transfer/migrate_accountendpoint to migrate known account and routing numbers to Plaid Items. Note that Items created in this way are not compatible with endpoints for other products, such as/accounts/balance/get, and can only be used with Bank Transfer endpoints. If you require access to other endpoints, create the Item through Link instead. Access to/bank_transfer/migrate_accountis not enabled by default; to obtain access, contact your Plaid Account Manager. -
plaid.bankTransferSweepGetThe
/bank_transfer/sweep/getendpoint fetches information about the sweep corresponding to the givensweep_id. -
plaid.bankTransferSweepListThe
/bank_transfer/sweep/listendpoint fetches information about the sweeps matching the given filters. -
plaid.categoriesGetSend a request to the
/categories/getendpoint to get detailed information on categories returned by Plaid. This endpoint does not require authentication. -
plaid.createPaymentTokenThe
/payment_initiation/payment/token/createendpoint has been deprecated. New Plaid customers will be unable to use this endpoint, and existing customers are encouraged to migrate to the newer,link_token-based flow. The recommended flow is to provide thepayment_idto/link/token/create, which returns alink_tokenused to initialize Link.The
/payment_initiation/payment/token/createis used to create apayment_token, which can then be used in Link initialization to enter a payment initiation flow. You can only use apayment_tokenonce. If this attempt fails, the end user aborts the flow, or the token expires, you will need to create a new payment token. Creating a new payment token does not require end user input. -
plaid.creditAssetReportFreddieMacGetThe
credit/asset_report/freddie_mac/getendpoint retrieves the Asset Report in Freddie Mac's JSON format. -
plaid.creditAuditCopyTokenCreatePlaid can create an Audit Copy token of an Asset Report and/or Income Report to share with participating Government Sponsored Entity (GSE). If you participate in the Day 1 Certainty™ program, Plaid can supply an Audit Copy token directly to Fannie Mae on your behalf. An Audit Copy token contains the same underlying data as the Asset Report and/or Income Report (result of /credit/payroll_income/get).
Use the
/credit/audit_copy_token/createendpoint to create anaudit_copy_tokenand then pass that token to the GSE who needs access. -
plaid.creditAuditCopyTokenUpdateThe
/credit/audit_copy_token/updateendpoint updates the Audit Copy Token by adding the report tokens in thereport_tokensfield to theaudit_copy_token. If the Audit Copy Token already contains a report of a certain type, it will be replaced with the token provided in thereport_tokensfield. -
plaid.creditBankEmploymentGet/credit/bank_employment/getreturns the employment report(s) derived from bank transaction data for a specified user. -
plaid.creditBankIncomeGet/credit/bank_income/getreturns the bank income report(s) for a specified user. -
plaid.creditBankIncomePdfGet/credit/bank_income/pdf/getreturns the most recent bank income report for a specified user in PDF format. -

plaid.creditEmploymentGet/credit/employment/getreturns a list of items with employment information from a user's payroll provider that was verified by an end user. -
plaid.creditFreddieMacReportsGetThe
credit/asset_report/freddie_mac/getendpoint retrieves the Verification of Assets and Verification of Employment reports. -
plaid.creditPayrollIncomeGetThis endpoint gets payroll income information for a specific user, either as a result of the user connecting to their payroll provider or uploading a pay related document.
-
plaid.creditPayrollIncomePrecheck/credit/payroll_income/precheckis an optional endpoint that can be called before initializing a Link session for income verification. It evaluates whether a given user is supportable by digital income verification. If the user is eligible for digital verification, that information will be associated with the user token, and in this way will generate a Link UI optimized for the end user and their specific employer. If the user cannot be confirmed as eligible, the user can still use the income verification flow, but they may be required to manually upload a paystub to verify their income.While all request fields are optional, providing
employerdata will increase the chance of receiving a useful result.When testing in Sandbox, you can control the results by providing special test values in the
employerandaccess_tokensfields.employer_goodandemployer_badwill result inHIGHandLOWconfidence values, respectively.employer_multiwill result in aHIGHconfidence with multiple payroll options. Likewise,access_goodandaccess_badwill result inHIGHandLOWconfidence values, respectively. Any other value foremployerandaccess_tokensin Sandbox will result inUNKNOWNconfidence. -
plaid.creditPayrollIncomeRefresh/credit/payroll_income/refreshrefreshes a given digital payroll income verification. -
plaid.creditRelayCreatePlaid can share an Asset Report directly with a participating third party on your behalf. The shared Asset Report is the exact same Asset Report originally created in
/asset_report/create.To grant a third party access to an Asset Report, use the
/credit/relay/createendpoint to create arelay_tokenand then pass that token to your third party. Each third party has its ownsecondary_client_id; for example,ce5bd328dcd34123456. You'll need to create a separaterelay_tokenfor each third party that needs access to the report on your behalf. -
plaid.creditRelayGet/credit/relay/getallows third parties to receive a report that was shared with them, using arelay_tokenthat was created by the report owner. -
plaid.creditRelayRefreshThe
/credit/relay/refreshendpoint allows third parties to refresh a report that was relayed to them, using arelay_tokenthat was created by the report owner. A new report will be created with the original report parameters, but with the most recent data available based on thedays_requestedvalue of the original report. -
plaid.creditRelayRemoveThe
/credit/relay/removeendpoint allows you to invalidate arelay_token. The third party holding the token will no longer be able to access or refresh the reports which therelay_tokengives access to. The original report, associated Items, and other relay tokens that provide access to the same report are not affected and will remain accessible after removing the givenrelay_token. -
plaid.creditReportAuditCopyRemoveThe
/credit/audit_copy_token/removeendpoint allows you to remove an Audit Copy. Removing an Audit Copy invalidates theaudit_copy_tokenassociated with it, meaning both you and any third parties holding the token will no longer be able to use it to access Report data. Items associated with the Report data and other Audit Copies of it are not affected and will remain accessible after removing the given Audit Copy. -
plaid.creditSessionsGetThis endpoint can be used for your end users after they complete the Link flow. This endpoint returns a list of Link sessions that your user completed, where each session includes the results from the Link flow.
These results include details about the Item that was created and some product related metadata (showing, for example, whether the user finished the bank income verification step).
-
plaid.dashboardUserGetRetrieve information about a dashboard user.
-
plaid.dashboardUserListList all dashboard users associated with your account.
-
plaid.depositSwitchAltCreateThis endpoint provides an alternative to
/deposit_switch/createfor customers who have not yet fully integrated with Plaid Exchange. Like/deposit_switch/create, it creates a deposit switch entity that will be persisted throughout the lifecycle of the switch. -
plaid.depositSwitchCreateThis endpoint creates a deposit switch entity that will be persisted throughout the lifecycle of the switch.
-
plaid.depositSwitchGetThis endpoint returns information related to how the user has configured their payroll allocation and the state of the switch. You can use this information to build logic related to the user's direct deposit allocation preferences.
-
plaid.depositSwitchTokenCreateIn order for the end user to take action, you will need to create a public token representing the deposit switch. This token is used to initialize Link. It can be used one time and expires after 30 minutes.
-
plaid.employersSearch/employers/searchallows you the ability to search Plaid’s database of known employers, for use with Deposit Switch. You can use this endpoint to look up a user's employer in order to confirm that they are supported. Users with non-supported employers can then be routed out of the Deposit Switch flow.The data in the employer database is currently limited. As the Deposit Switch and Income products progress through their respective beta periods, more employers are being regularly added. Because the employer database is frequently updated, we recommend that you do not cache or store data from this endpoint for more than a day.
-
plaid.employmentVerificationGet/employment/verification/getreturns a list of employments through a user payroll that was verified by an end user.This endpoint has been deprecated; new integrations should use
/credit/employment/getinstead. -
plaid.fdxNotificationsA generic webhook receiver endpoint for FDX Event Notifications
-
plaid.identityGetThe
/identity/getendpoint allows you to retrieve various account holder information on file with the financial institution, including names, emails, phone numbers, and addresses. Only name data is guaranteed to be returned; other fields will be empty arrays if not provided by the institution.This request may take some time to complete if identity was not specified as an initial product when creating the Item. This is because Plaid must communicate directly with the institution to retrieve the data.
Note: In API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier, the
ownersobject is not returned, and instead identity information is returned in the top levelidentityobject. For more details, see . -
plaid.identityMatchThe
/identity/matchendpoint generates a match score, which indicates how well the provided identity data matches the identity information on file with the account holder's financial institution.This request may take some time to complete if Identity was not specified as an initial product when creating the Item. This is because Plaid must communicate directly with the institution to retrieve the data.
-
plaid.identityVerificationCreateCreate a new Identity Verification for the user specified by the
client_user_idfield. The requirements and behavior of the verification are determined by thetemplate_idprovided. If you don't know whether the associated user already has an active Identity Verification, you can specify"is_idempotent": truein the request body. With idempotency enabled, a new Identity Verification will only be created if one does not already exist for the associatedclient_user_idandtemplate_id. If an Identity Verification is found, it will be returned unmodified with an200 OKHTTP status code. -
plaid.identityVerificationGetRetrieve a previously created identity verification.
-
plaid.identityVerificationListFilter and list Identity Verifications created by your account
-
plaid.identityVerificationRetryAllow a customer to retry their identity verification
-
plaid.incomeVerificationCreate/income/verification/createbegins the income verification process by returning anincome_verification_id. You can then provide theincome_verification_idto/link/token/createunder theincome_verificationparameter in order to create a Link instance that will prompt the user to go through the income verification flow. Plaid will fire anINCOMEwebhook once the user completes the Payroll Income flow, or when the uploaded documents in the Document Income flow have finished processing. -
plaid.incomeVerificationDocumentsDownload/income/verification/documents/downloadprovides the ability to download the source documents associated with the verification.If Document Income was used, the documents will be those the user provided in Link. For Payroll Income, the most recent files available for download from the payroll provider will be available from this endpoint.
The response to
/income/verification/documents/downloadis a ZIP file in binary data. If adocument_idis passed, a single document will be contained in this file. If not, the response will contain all documents associated with the verification.The
request_idis returned in thePlaid-Request-IDheader. -
plaid.incomeVerificationPaystubsGet/income/verification/paystubs/getreturns the information collected from the paystubs that were used to verify an end user's income. It can be called once the status of the verification has been set toVERIFICATION_STATUS_PROCESSING_COMPLETE, as reported by theINCOME: verification_statuswebhook. Attempting to call the endpoint before verification has been completed will result in an error.This endpoint has been deprecated; new integrations should use
/credit/payroll_income/getinstead. -
plaid.incomeVerificationPrecheck/income/verification/precheckis an optional endpoint that can be called before initializing a Link session for income verification. It evaluates whether a given user is supportable by digital income verification and returns aprecheck_idthat can be provided to/link/token/create. If the user is eligible for digital verification, providing theprecheck_idin this way will generate a Link UI optimized for the end user and their specific employer. If the user cannot be confirmed as eligible, theprecheck_idcan still be provided to/link/token/createand the user can still use the income verification flow, but they may be required to manually upload a paystub to verify their income.While all request fields are optional, providing either
employerortransactions_access_tokensdata will increase the chance of receiving a useful result.This endpoint has been deprecated; new integrations should use
/credit/payroll_income/precheckinstead. -
plaid.incomeVerificationTaxformsGet/income/verification/taxforms/getreturns the information collected from forms that were used to verify an end user''s income. It can be called once the status of the verification has been set toVERIFICATION_STATUS_PROCESSING_COMPLETE, as reported by theINCOME: verification_statuswebhook. Attempting to call the endpoint before verification has been completed will result in an error.This endpoint has been deprecated; new integrations should use
/credit/payroll_income/getinstead. -
plaid.institutionsGetReturns a JSON response containing details on all financial institutions currently supported by Plaid. Because Plaid supports thousands of institutions, results are paginated.
If there is no overlap between an institution’s enabled products and a client’s enabled products, then the institution will be filtered out from the response. As a result, the number of institutions returned may not match the count specified in the call.
-
plaid.institutionsGetByIdReturns a JSON response containing details on a specified financial institution currently supported by Plaid.
Versioning note: API versions 2019-05-29 and earlier allow use of the
public_keyparameter instead of theclient_idandsecretto authenticate to this endpoint. Thepublic_keyhas been deprecated; all customers are encouraged to useclient_idandsecretinstead. -
plaid.institutionsSearchReturns a JSON response containing details for institutions that match the query parameters, up to a maximum of ten institutions per query.
Versioning note: API versions 2019-05-29 and earlier allow use of the
public_keyparameter instead of theclient_idandsecretparameters to authenticate to this endpoint. Thepublic_keyparameter has since been deprecated; all customers are encouraged to useclient_idandsecretinstead. -
plaid.investmentsHoldingsGetThe
/investments/holdings/getendpoint allows developers to receive user-authorized stock position data forinvestment-type accounts. -
plaid.investmentsTransactionsGetThe
/investments/transactions/getendpoint allows developers to retrieve up to 24 months of user-authorized transaction data for investment accounts.Transactions are returned in reverse-chronological order, and the sequence of transaction ordering is stable and will not shift.
Due to the potentially large number of investment transactions associated with an Item, results are paginated. Manipulate the count and offset parameters in conjunction with the
total_investment_transactionsresponse body field to fetch all available investment transactions.Note that Investments does not have a webhook to indicate when initial transaction data has loaded. Instead, if transactions data is not ready when
/investments/transactions/getis first called, Plaid will wait for the data. For this reason, calling/investments/transactions/getimmediately after Link may take up to one to two minutes to return. -
plaid.itemAccessTokenInvalidateBy default, the
access_tokenassociated with an Item does not expire and should be stored in a persistent, secure manner.You can use the
/item/access_token/invalidateendpoint to rotate theaccess_tokenassociated with an Item. The endpoint returns a newaccess_tokenand immediately invalidates the previousaccess_token. -
plaid.itemActivityListList a historical log of user consent events
-
plaid.itemApplicationListList a user’s connected applications
-
plaid.itemApplicationScopesUpdateEnable consumers to update product access on selected accounts for an application.
-
plaid.itemCreatePublicTokenNote: As of July 2020, the
/item/public_token/createendpoint is deprecated. Instead, use/link/token/createwith anaccess_tokento create a Link token for use with .If you need your user to take action to restore or resolve an error associated with an Item, generate a public token with the
/item/public_token/createendpoint and then initialize Link with thatpublic_token.A
public_tokenis one-time use and expires after 30 minutes. You use apublic_tokento initialize Link in for a particular Item. You can generate apublic_tokenfor an Item even if you did not use Link to create the Item originally.The
/item/public_token/createendpoint is not used to create your initialpublic_token. If you have not already received anaccess_tokenfor a specific Item, use Link to obtain yourpublic_tokeninstead. See the for more information. -
plaid.itemGetReturns information about the status of an Item.
-
plaid.itemImport/item/importcreates an Item via your Plaid Exchange Integration and returns anaccess_token. As part of an/item/importrequest, you will include a User ID (user_auth.user_id) and Authentication Token (user_auth.auth_token) that enable data aggregation through your Plaid Exchange API endpoints. These authentication principals are to be chosen by you.Upon creating an Item via
/item/import, Plaid will automatically begin an extraction of that Item through the Plaid Exchange infrastructure you have already integrated. This will automatically generate the Plaid native account ID for the account the user will switch their direct deposit to (target_account_id). -
plaid.itemPublicTokenExchangeExchange a Link
public_tokenfor an APIaccess_token. Link hands off thepublic_tokenclient-side via theonSuccesscallback once a user has successfully created an Item. Thepublic_tokenis ephemeral and expires after 30 minutes. Anaccess_tokendoes not expire, but can be revoked by calling/item/remove.The response also includes an
item_idthat should be stored with theaccess_token. Theitem_idis used to identify an Item in a webhook. Theitem_idcan also be retrieved by making an/item/getrequest. -
plaid.itemRemoveThe
/item/removeendpoint allows you to remove an Item. Once removed, theaccess_token, as well as any processor tokens or bank account tokens associated with the Item, is no longer valid and cannot be used to access any data that was associated with the Item.Note that in the Development environment, issuing an
/item/removerequest will not decrement your live credential count. To increase your credential account in Development, contact Support.Also note that for certain OAuth-based institutions, an Item removed via
/item/removemay still show as an active connection in the institution's OAuth permission manager.API versions 2019-05-29 and earlier return a
removedboolean as part of the response. -
plaid.itemWebhookUpdateThe POST
/item/webhook/updateallows you to update the webhook URL associated with an Item. This request triggers a webhook to the newly specified webhook URL. -
plaid.liabilitiesGetThe
/liabilities/getendpoint returns various details about an Item with loan or credit accounts. Liabilities data is available primarily for US financial institutions, with some limited coverage of Canadian institutions. Currently supported account types are account typecreditwith account subtypecredit cardorpaypal, and account typeloanwith account subtypestudentormortgage. To limit accounts listed in Link to types and subtypes supported by Liabilities, you can use theaccount_filtersparameter when .The types of information returned by Liabilities can include balances and due dates, loan terms, and account details such as original loan amount and guarantor. Data is refreshed approximately once per day; the latest data can be retrieved by calling
/liabilities/get.Note: This request may take some time to complete if
liabilitieswas not specified as an initial product when creating the Item. This is because Plaid must communicate directly with the institution to retrieve the additional data. -
plaid.linkDeliveryCreateUse the
/link_delivery/createendpoint to create a Link Delivery session. -
plaid.linkDeliveryGetUse the
/link_delivery/getendpoint to get the status of a Link Delivery session. -
plaid.linkOauthCorrelationIdExchangeExchange an OAuth
link_correlation_idfor the correspondinglink_token. Thelink_correlation_idis only available for 'payment_initiation' products and is provided to the client via the OAuthredirect_urias a query parameter. Thelink_correlation_idis ephemeral and expires in a brief period, after which it can no longer be exchanged for the 'link_token'. -
plaid.linkTokenCreateThe
/link/token/createendpoint creates alink_token, which is required as a parameter when initializing Link. Once Link has been initialized, it returns apublic_token, which can then be exchanged for anaccess_tokenvia/item/public_token/exchangeas part of the main Link flow.A
link_tokengenerated by/link/token/createis also used to initialize other Link flows, such as the update mode flow for tokens with expired credentials, or the Payment Initiation (Europe) flow. -
plaid.linkTokenGetThe
/link/token/getendpoint gets information about a previously-createdlink_tokenusing the/link/token/createendpoint. It can be useful for debugging purposes. -
plaid.partnerCustomerCreateThe
/partner/customer/createendpoint is used by reseller partners to create end customers. -
plaid.partnerCustomerEnableThe
/partner/customer/enableendpoint is used by reseller partners to enable an end customer in the Production environment. -
plaid.partnerCustomerGetThe
/partner/customer/getendpoint is used by reseller partners to retrieve data about a single end customer. -
plaid.partnerCustomerOauthInstitutionsGetThe
/partner/customer/oauth_institutions/getendpoint is used by reseller partners to retrieve OAuth-institution registration information about a single end customer. To learn how to set up a webhook to listen to status update events, visit the . -
plaid.partnerCustomerRemoveThe
/partner/customer/removeendpoint is used by reseller partners to remove an end customer. Removing an end customer will remove it from view in the Plaid Dashboard and deactivate its API keys. This endpoint can only be used to remove an end customer that has not yet been enabled in Production. -
plaid.paymentInitiationConsentCreateThe
/payment_initiation/consent/createendpoint is used to create a payment consent, which can be used to initiate payments on behalf of the user. Payment consents are created withUNAUTHORISEDstatus by default and must be authorised by the user before payments can be initiated.Consents can be limited in time and scope, and have constraints that describe limitations for payments.
-
plaid.paymentInitiationConsentGetThe
/payment_initiation/consent/getendpoint can be used to check the status of a payment consent, as well as to receive basic information such as recipient and constraints. -

/payment_initiation/consent/payment/executeendpoint can be used to execute payments using payment consent. -
plaid.paymentInitiationConsentRevokeThe
/payment_initiation/consent/revokeendpoint can be used to revoke the payment consent. Once the consent is revoked, it is not possible to initiate payments using it. -
plaid.paymentInitiationPaymentCreateAfter creating a payment recipient, you can use the
/payment_initiation/payment/createendpoint to create a payment to that recipient. Payments can be one-time or standing order (recurring) and can be denominated in either EUR, GBP or other chosen . If making domestic GBP-denominated payments, your recipient must have been created with BACS numbers. In general, EUR-denominated payments will be sent via SEPA Credit Transfer, GBP-denominated payments will be sent via the Faster Payments network and for non-Eurozone markets typically via the local payment scheme, but the payment network used will be determined by the institution. Payments sent via Faster Payments will typically arrive immediately, while payments sent via SEPA Credit Transfer or other local payment schemes will typically arrive in one business day.Standing orders (recurring payments) must be denominated in GBP and can only be sent to recipients in the UK. Once created, standing order payments cannot be modified or canceled via the API. An end user can cancel or modify a standing order directly on their banking application or website, or by contacting the bank. Standing orders will follow the payment rules of the underlying rails (Faster Payments in UK). Payments can be sent Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays. If the pre-arranged date falls on a weekend or bank holiday, the payment is made on the next working day. It is not possible to guarantee the exact time the payment will reach the recipient’s account, although at least 90% of standing order payments are sent by 6am.
In the Development environment, payments must be below 5 GBP or other chosen . For details on any payment limits in Production, contact your Plaid Account Manager.
-
plaid.paymentInitiationPaymentGetThe
/payment_initiation/payment/getendpoint can be used to check the status of a payment, as well as to receive basic information such as recipient and payment amount. In the case of standing orders, the/payment_initiation/payment/getendpoint will provide information about the status of the overall standing order itself; the API cannot be used to retrieve payment status for individual payments within a standing order. -
plaid.paymentInitiationPaymentListThe
/payment_initiation/payment/listendpoint can be used to retrieve all created payments. By default, the 10 most recent payments are returned. You can request more payments and paginate through the results using the optionalcountandcursorparameters. -
plaid.paymentInitiationPaymentReverseReverse a settled payment from a Plaid virtual account.
The original payment must be in a settled state to be refunded. To refund partially, specify the amount as part of the request. If the amount is not specified, the refund amount will be equal to all of the remaining payment amount that has not been refunded yet. If the remaining amount is less than one unit of currency (e.g. 1 GBP or 1 EUR), the refund will fail.
The refund will go back to the source account that initiated the payment. The original payment must have been initiated to a Plaid virtual account so that this account can be used to initiate the refund.
-
plaid.paymentInitiationRecipientCreateCreate a payment recipient for payment initiation. The recipient must be in Europe, within a country that is a member of the Single Euro Payment Area (SEPA) or a non-Eurozone country by Plaid. For a standing order (recurring) payment, the recipient must be in the UK.
It is recommended to use
bacsin the UK andibanin EU.The endpoint is idempotent: if a developer has already made a request with the same payment details, Plaid will return the same
recipient_id. -

plaid.processorSignalEvaluateUse
/processor/signal/evaluateto evaluate a planned ACH transaction as a processor to get a return risk assessment (such as a risk score and risk tier) and additional risk signals.In order to obtain a valid score for an ACH transaction, Plaid must have an access token for the account, and the Item must be healthy (receiving product updates) or have recently been in a healthy state. If the transaction does not meet eligibility requirements, an error will be returned corresponding to the underlying cause. If
/processor/signal/evaluateis called on the same transaction multiple times within a 24-hour period, cached results may be returned. For more information please refer to our error documentation on and .Note: This request may take some time to complete if Signal is being added to an existing Item. This is because Plaid must communicate directly with the institution when retrieving the data for the first time.
-
plaid.processorSignalReturnReportCall the
/processor/signal/return/reportendpoint to report a returned transaction that was previously sent to the/processor/signal/evaluateendpoint. Your feedback will be used by the model to incorporate the latest risk trend in your portfolio. -
plaid.processorStripeBankAccountTokenCreateUsed to create a token suitable for sending to Stripe to enable Plaid-Stripe integrations. For a detailed guide on integrating Stripe, see .
Note that the Stripe bank account token is a one-time use token. To store bank account information for later use, you can use a Stripe customer object and create an associated bank account from the token, or you can use a Stripe Custom account and create an associated external bank account from the token. This bank account information should work indefinitely, unless the user's bank account information changes or they revoke Plaid's permissions to access their account. Stripe bank account information cannot be modified once the bank account token has been created. If you ever need to change the bank account details used by Stripe for a specific customer, have the user go through Link again and create a new bank account token from the new
access_token.Bank account tokens can also be revoked, using
/item/remove.' -
plaid.processorTokenCreateUsed to create a token suitable for sending to one of Plaid's partners to enable integrations. Note that Stripe partnerships use bank account tokens instead; see
/processor/stripe/bank_account_token/createfor creating tokens for use with Stripe integrations. Once created, a processor token for a given Item cannot be modified or updated. If the account must be linked to a new or different partner resource, create a new Item by having the user go through the Link flow again; a new processor token can then be created from the newaccess_token. Processor tokens can also be revoked, using/item/remove. -

virtual_timefield indicating the current timestamp of the timeline. A test clock can be advanced by incrementingvirtual_time, but may never go back to a lowervirtual_time.If a test clock is advanced, we will simulate the changes that ought to occur during the time that elapsed. For instance, a client creates a weekly recurring transfer with a test clock set at t. When the client advances the test clock by setting
virtual_time= t + 15 days, 2 new originations should be created, along with the webhook events.The advancement of the test clock from its current
virtual_timeshould be limited such that there are no more than 20 originations resulting from the advance operation on eachrecurring_transferassociated with thetest_clock. For instance, if the recurring transfer associated with this test clock originates once every 4 weeks, you can advance thevirtual_timeup to 80 weeks on each API call. -

-
plaid.transactionsGetThe
/transactions/getendpoint allows developers to receive user-authorized transaction data for credit, depository, and some loan-type accounts (only those with account subtypestudent; coverage may be limited). For transaction history from investments accounts, use the instead. Transaction data is standardized across financial institutions, and in many cases transactions are linked to a clean name, entity type, location, and category. Similarly, account data is standardized and returned with a clean name, number, balance, and other meta information where available.Transactions are returned in reverse-chronological order, and the sequence of transaction ordering is stable and will not shift. Transactions are not immutable and can also be removed altogether by the institution; a removed transaction will no longer appear in
/transactions/get. For more details, see .Due to the potentially large number of transactions associated with an Item, results are paginated. Manipulate the
countandoffsetparameters in conjunction with thetotal_transactionsresponse body field to fetch all available transactions.Data returned by
/transactions/getwill be the data available for the Item as of the most recent successful check for new transactions. Plaid typically checks for new data multiple times a day, but these checks may occur less frequently, such as once a day, depending on the institution. An Item'sstatus.transactions.last_successful_updatefield will show the timestamp of the most recent successful update. To force Plaid to check for new transactions, you can use the/transactions/refreshendpoint.Note that data may not be immediately available to
/transactions/get. Plaid will begin to prepare transactions data upon Item link, if Link was initialized withtransactions, or upon the first call to/transactions/get, if it wasn't. To be alerted when transaction data is ready to be fetched, listen for the and webhooks. If no transaction history is ready when/transactions/getis called, it will return aPRODUCT_NOT_READYerror. -
plaid.transactionsRecurringGetThe
/transactions/recurring/getendpoint allows developers to receive a summary of the recurring outflow and inflow streams (expenses and deposits) from a user’s checking, savings or credit card accounts. Additionally, Plaid provides key insights about each recurring stream including the category, merchant, last amount, and more. Developers can use these insights to build tools and experiences that help their users better manage cash flow, monitor subscriptions, reduce spend, and stay on track with bill payments.This endpoint is offered as an add-on to Transactions. To request access to this endpoint, submit a or contact your Plaid account manager.
This endpoint can only be called on an Item that has already been initialized with Transactions (either during Link, by specifying it in
/link/token/create; or after Link, by calling/transactions/get). After the webhook has fired, call/transactions/recurring/getto receive the Recurring Transactions streams and subscribe to the webhook.After the initial call, you can call
/transactions/recurring/getendpoint at any point in the future to retrieve the latest summary of recurring streams. Listen to the webhook to be notified when new updates are available. -
plaid.transactionsRefresh/transactions/refreshis an optional endpoint for users of the Transactions product. It initiates an on-demand extraction to fetch the newest transactions for an Item. This on-demand extraction takes place in addition to the periodic extractions that automatically occur multiple times a day for any Transactions-enabled Item. If changes to transactions are discovered after calling/transactions/refresh, Plaid will fire a webhook: for/transactions/syncusers, will be fired if there are any transactions updated, added, or removed. For users of both/transactions/syncand/transactions/get, will be fired if any removed transactions are detected, and will be fired if any new transactions are detected. New transactions can be fetched by calling/transactions/getor/transactions/sync. Note that the/transactions/refreshendpoint is not supported for Capital One (ins_128026) and will result in aPRODUCT_NOT_SUPPORTEDerror if called on an Item from that institution./transactions/refreshis offered as an add-on to Transactions and has a separate . To request access to this endpoint, submit a or contact your Plaid account manager. -

/transactions/rules/v1/listreturns a list of transaction rules created for the Item associated with the access token. -
plaid.transactionsRulesRemoveThe
/transactions/rules/v1/removeendpoint is used to remove a transaction rule. -
plaid.transactionsSyncThis endpoint replaces
/transactions/getand its associated webhooks for most common use-cases.The
/transactions/syncendpoint allows developers to subscribe to all transactions associated with an Item and get updates synchronously in a stream-like manner, using a cursor to track which updates have already been seen./transactions/syncprovides the same functionality as/transactions/getand can be used instead of/transactions/getto simplify the process of tracking transactions updates.This endpoint provides user-authorized transaction data for
credit,depository, and some loan-type accounts (only those with account subtypestudent; coverage may be limited). For transaction history frominvestmentsaccounts, use/investments/transactions/getinstead.Returned transactions data is grouped into three types of update, indicating whether the transaction was added, removed, or modified since the last call to the API.
In the first call to
/transactions/syncfor an Item, the endpoint will return all historical transactions data associated with that Item up until the time of the API call (as "adds"), which then generates anext_cursorfor that Item. In subsequent calls, send thenext_cursorto receive only the changes that have occurred since the previous call.Due to the potentially large number of transactions associated with an Item, results are paginated. The
has_morefield specifies if additional calls are necessary to fetch all available transaction updates. Call/transactions/syncwith the new cursor, pulling all updates, untilhas_moreisfalse.When retrieving paginated updates, track both the
next_cursorfrom the latest response and the original cursor from the first call in whichhas_morewastrue; if a call to/transactions/syncfails when retrieving a paginated update, the entire pagination request loop must be restarted beginning with the cursor for the first page of the update, rather than retrying only the single request that failed.Whenever new or updated transaction data becomes available,
/transactions/syncwill provide these updates. Plaid typically checks for new data multiple times a day, but these checks may occur less frequently, such as once a day, depending on the institution. An Item'sstatus.transactions.last_successful_updatefield will show the timestamp of the most recent successful update. To force Plaid to check for new transactions, use the/transactions/refreshendpoint.Note that for newly created Items, data may not be immediately available to
/transactions/sync. Plaid begins preparing transactions data when the Item is created, but the process can take anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes to complete, depending on the number of transactions available.To be alerted when new data is available, listen for the webhook.
