MORE ABOUT LINK
How did this work?
Behind the scenes
You completed the Plaid Link onboarding. Link is a pre-built interface that interacts with Plaid's API servers to take you through a streamlined, fully-encrypted onboarding process.
Once you successfully entered valid credentials, Link verified them and made a request to the Plaid API to retrieve the account data above. For more information on how this works technically, see the documentation below.

Exchange token flow
Plaid Link returns a public_token for a given user, which can be exchanged for an access_token using the Exchange Token endpoint.
In this example, we pull the public_token from the query string and send it to the app server. The app server will make two Plaid API requests using your private client_id and secret. The first will exchange the public_token for a Plaid access_token. The second will use that access_token to retrieve account information, including account names and current balances.
