Request fields

offset

string

Plaid receives this value from your organization's latest response in a paginated response, and returns it to in a new request to get the next page. Your organization omits nextOffset in the response to indicate the last page

In: query

limit

integer

Number of elements that the API consumer wishes to receive. Plaid has a default limit of 100 elements. If this value differs from your organization's limit for the number of items to send in one response, then pick the lower of the two different limits and use the lower limit to define the number of items you send on each page of a paginated response. Plaid then gets the next page by making a new request with the opaque nextOffset field that your organization returned in the latest response, until your organization omits nextOffset in the response to indicate the last page

Response fields and example

page

object

Contains opaque identifier, nextoffset, for paginated result sets. The nextOffset ID doesn't need to be numeric or have any specific pattern. In other words, your organization can implement this however you prefer. The presence of this offset indicates that there's at least one more page of data available. The absence of this offset indicates that there are no more pages of data left in this paginated array. The API consumer returns this in the offset parameter in a new request to get the next page in the response array

nextOffset

string

Opaque offset identifier

accounts

required[object]

An optionally paginated array of accounts. May be any of the following account descriptors: annuity account, deposit account, loan account, line of credit account, investment account, insurance account
