Overview

Introduction

Welcome to Plaid! Here you’ll find comprehensive information for integrating with Link and our API endpoints. We’ve tried to make this documentation user-friendly and example-filled, but if you have any questions, please head to our Help Center. If you’re planning to use our API in Production, take a look at our Privacy Policy. The fastest way to get your integration up and running is to use our Quickstart guide, which walks through your entire Plaid integration step-by-step. You’ll integrate Plaid Link into your site or app and then use one of our client libraries to retrieve the data you need from our API.

Product	Endpoint
Auth	POST /auth/get
Transactions	POST /transactions/get
Identity	POST /identity/get
Income	POST /income/get
Balance	POST /accounts/balance/get
Assets	POST /assets/get

Glossary

Item: a set of credentials at a financial institution; each Item can have many Accounts, and some Accounts have Transactions associated with them
client_id and secret: two private API keys; used in conjunction with an access_token to access data for an Item
public_key: a public API identifier; used to initialize Link and identify Items you create or update via Link
access_token: a rotatable token unique to a single Item; used to access data for that Item
public_token: a short-lived token that can be exchanged for an access_token or used to initialize Link in update mode for an Item

API keys and access

To gain access to the Plaid API, please create an account on our Dashboard. Once you’ve completed the signup process and acknowledged our terms, we’ll provide a live client_id, secret, and public_key via the Dashboard.

API protocols

The Plaid API uses POST requests to communicate and HTTP response codes to indicate status and errors. All responses come in standard JSON. The Plaid API is served over HTTPS TLS v1.1+ to ensure data privacy; HTTP and HTTPS with TLS versions below 1.1 are not supported. All requests must include a Content-Type of application/json and the body must be valid JSON.

API host

https://sandbox.plaid.com (Sandbox)
https://development.plaid.com (Development)
https://production.plaid.com (Production)

The Sandbox environment is unrestricted and supports only test Items. The Development environment supports up to 100 live Items. All testing should be done in the Sandbox and Development environments. All activity in the Production environment will be billed. When you’re getting ready to launch into Production, please request Production API access via the Dashboard.

Versioning

We periodically release new, dated versions of the API whenever we make breaking changes. The current version is 2018-05-22.

Our client libraries make it easy to move between versions. You will either initialize the library with the version you wish to use (Python and Node) or use a specific release of the the library that's pinned to a dated version of the API (Ruby and Java).

You can also manually set the Plaid-Version header to use a specific version for a given API request.

          
var plaid = require('plaid');

var plaidClient = new plaid.Client(PLAID_CLIENT_ID, PLAID_SECRET, PLAID_PUBLIC_KEY, plaid.environments.sandbox, {version: '2018-05-22'});

          
curl -X POST https://sandbox.plaid.com/auth/get \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Plaid-Version: 2018-05-22'
  ...

          
require 'plaid'

client = Plaid::Client.new(env: :sandbox,
                           client_id: PLAID_CLIENT_ID,
                           secret: PLAID_SECRET,
                           public_key: PLAID_PUBLIC_KEY)

          
// Use builder to create a client
PlaidClient plaidClient = PlaidClient.newBuilder()
  .clientIdAndSecret(PLAID_CLIENT_ID, PLAID_SECRET)
  .publicKey(PLAID_PUBLIC_KEY)
  .sandboxBaseUrl()
  .build();

          
from plaid import Client

client = Client(client_id=PLAID_CLIENT_ID, secret=PLAID_SECRET, public_key=PLAID_PUBLIC_KEY, environment='sandbox', version='2018-05-22')

See the API upgrade guide to see what's changed between versions and find out how to upgrade your integration.

If no API version is specified either when initializing a client library or manually as a request header, the API will default to the version that was live when you first signed up for Plaid API keys.

Breaking changes

We strive to avoid making any breaking changes to our API, but we do make changes over time that may result in changes to the data that you pull from Plaid.

We consider the following changes to be backwards compatible:

Adding new API endpoints
Adding new options parameters to existing endpoints
Adding new data elements to existing response schemas
Adding new error_types and error_codes
Adding new webhook_types and webhook_codes
Changing the length or content of any API identifier

Storing Plaid API identifiers

It’s important to properly handle Plaid identifiers returned by Link and direct API endpoints. Plaid identifiers let you associate API and Institution events with your requests, and will help our Support team resolve your issues faster and more accurately. Here are some best practices for handling our API identifiers.

Store access_tokens and item_ids in your application database

access_tokens and item_ids are the core identifiers that map your end-users to their financial institutions. You should persist these securely and associate them with users of your application. Make sure, however, that these identifiers are never exposed client-side. Keep in mind that one user can create multiple Items if they have accounts with multiple financial institutions.

access_token

Included in any response that successfully creates an Item.

“access_token”: “access-sandbox-5cd6e1b1-1b5b-459d-9284-366e2da89755”

item_id

Included in successful responses for an existing access_token, and specifically for requests to retrieve an Item.

"item_id": "Jv785paMV8hRGWNBRjbjUybw8N9B3yTBDdkwV"

asset_report_token

Included in any response that successfully creates an Asset Report.

"asset_report_token": "assets-sandbox-6f12f5bb-22dd-4855-b918-f47ec439198a"

asset_report_id

Included in successful responses for an existing asset_report_token, and specifically for requests to retrieve an Asset Report.

"asset_report_id": "1f414183-220c-44f5-b0c8-bc0e6d4053bb"

Log API request identifiers

Plaid returns a unique request_id in all server-side responses and Link callbacks. A link_session_id is also returned in Link callbacks. These values can be used for identifying the specific network request or Link session for a user, and associating that request or session with other events in your application. You should log these identifiers as you would other API response metadata.

request_id

Included in all Plaid API success and error responses.

"request_id": "m8MDnv9okwxFNBV"

link_session_id

Included in the onExit, onEvent, and onSuccess callback of a Link integration.

"link_session_id": "f6e63556-7ed9-4d98-b6b1-bfc9f0473593"

Retrieve transaction or account ids

Plaid assigns a unique transaction_id and account_id to the transactions and accounts for each access_token. Please ensure you can easily fetch transaction_ids and account_ids using an access_token, as these identifiers are required to troubleshoot certain support issues. You do not need to persist these identifiers. Note, two access tokens for the same underlying account will produce distinct transaction_ids and account_ids.

account_id

Included in all successful responses for all Plaid products except Income.

"account_id": "yL8je73GrjTZogRqZLrLHLaX3Kb8a1s5z6Jlg"

transaction_id

Included in successful responses for Plaid’s Transactions product.

"transaction_id": "ZXmN54gvBNIJq1aPJrGrFjGg8VJB36IzeWayW"

Creating Items with Plaid Link

Integrating with Link

image of Link service

Plaid Link is a drop-in module that provides a secure, elegant authentication flow for each institution that Plaid supports. Link makes it secure and easy for users to connect their bank accounts to Plaid.

Explore some sample apps or tinker with the demo to see Link in action.

See the Link parameter reference below for complete documentation on possible configurations.

Plaid.create accepts one argument, a configuration Object, and returns an Object with two functions, open and exit. Calling open will display the "Institution Select" view and calling exit will close Link.

Parameter reference

Parameter	Description
`clientName` required	Displayed once a user has successfully linked their `Item`.
`product` required	A list of Plaid product(s) you wish to use. Valid products are: `transactions`, `auth`, `identity`, `income`, and `assets`. Only institutions that support all requested products will be shown. In Production, you will be billed for each product that you specify when initializing Link. Example: `['auth', 'transactions']`
`key` required	The `public_key` associated with your account; available from the Dashboard.
`env` required	The Plaid API environment on which to create user accounts. For Development and Sandbox, use `development` or `sandbox`, respectively. For Production use, use `production`. Note: all Production requests are billed.
`onSuccess` required	A function that is called when a user has successfully onboarded an `Item`. The function should expect two arguments, the `public_token` and a `metadata` object.
`onExit` optional	A function that is called when a user has specifically exited the Link flow. The function should expect two arguments, a nullable `error` object and a `metadata` object. See onExit.
`onEvent` optional	A function that is called when a user reaches certain points in the Link flow. The function should expect two arguments, an `eventName` string and a `metadata` object. See onEvent.
`onLoad` optional	A function that is called when the Link module has finished loading. Calls to `plaidLinkHandler.open()` prior to the `onLoad` callback will be delayed until the module is fully loaded.
`language` optional	Specify a Plaid-supported language to localize Link. English will be used by default. Supported languages: English (`'en'`) French (`'fr'`)
`webhook` optional	Specify a webhook to associate with an `Item`. Plaid fires a webhook when the `Item` requires updated credentials, when new data is available, or when `Auth` numbers have been successfully verified.
`user` optional	Specify a `user` object to enable all `Auth` features. Required fields are: `legalName` – your user's legal first and last name `emailAddress` – your user's associated email address
`token` optional	Specify a `public_token` to launch Link in update mode for a particular `Item`. This will cause Link to open directly to the authentication step for that `Item's` institution. Use the `/item/public_token/create` endpoint to generate a `public_token` for an `Item`.
`isWebview` optional	Set to `true` if launching Link within a WebView.

Note: Control whether or not your Link integration uses the Select Account view from the Dashboard.

onSuccess callback

The onSuccess callback should take two arguments, the public_token and a metadata object. The metadata object provides the following information:

onExit callback

The onExit callback is called when a user exits the Link flow. It takes two arguments, a nullable error object and a metadata object.

Parameter	Description
`error` Object	A nullable object that contains the error type, code, and message of the error that was last encountered by the user. If no error was encountered, `error` will be `null`.
`metadata` Object	An object containing information about the last error encountered by the user (if any), institution selected by the user, and the most recent API request ID, and the Link session ID.

The metadata parameter is always present, though some values may be null.

Metadata `status`

The value of the status key indicates the point at which the user exited the Link flow. status may be one of the following values:

Status	Description
`requires_questions`	User prompted to answer security question(s)
`requires_selections`	User prompted to answer multiple choice question(s)
`requires_code`	User prompted to provide a one-time passcode
`choose_device`	User prompted to select a device on which to receive a one-time passcode
`requires_credentials`	User prompted to provide credentials for the selected financial institution or has not yet selected a financial institution
`institution_not_found`	User exited the Link flow after unsuccessfully (no results returned) searching for a financial institution

The arguments in the onExit function are meant to help you guide your users after they have exited Link. We recommend storing the error and metadata information server-side in a way that can be associated with the user. You’ll also need to include this and any other relevant info in Plaid Support requests for the user.

exit() function

The exit function allows you to programmatically close Link. Calling exit will trigger either the onExit or onSuccess callbacks.

The exit function takes a single, optional argument, a configuration Object. The configuration options are:

Option	Description
`force` Boolean	If `true`, Link will exit immediately. If `false`, or the option is not provided, an exit confirmation screen may be presented to the user.

exit() works on desktop and mobile but isn’t supported for WebView integrations. To exit Link in a WebView, you must programmatically close the iOS or Android WebView.

`.exit()` example

// Initialize Link
var linkHandler = Plaid.create(...)

// Force exit - Link exits immediately
linkHandler.exit({ force: true })

// Graceful exit - Link may display a confirmation screen
// depending on how far the user is in the flow
linkHandler.exit()

// This is equivalent to the above:
linkHandler.exit({ force: false })

// Initialize Link
var linkHandler = Plaid.create(...)

// Force exit - Link exits immediately
linkHandler.exit({ force: true })

// Graceful exit - Link may display a confirmation screen
// depending on how far the user is in the flow
linkHandler.exit()

// This is equivalent to the above:
linkHandler.exit({ force: false })

// Initialize Link
var linkHandler = Plaid.create(...)

// Force exit - Link exits immediately
linkHandler.exit({ force: true })

// Graceful exit - Link may display a confirmation screen
// depending on how far the user is in the flow
linkHandler.exit()

// This is equivalent to the above:
linkHandler.exit({ force: false })

// Initialize Link
var linkHandler = Plaid.create(...)

// Force exit - Link exits immediately
linkHandler.exit({ force: true })

// Graceful exit - Link may display a confirmation screen
// depending on how far the user is in the flow
linkHandler.exit()

// This is equivalent to the above:
linkHandler.exit({ force: false })

// Initialize Link
var linkHandler = Plaid.create(...)

// Force exit - Link exits immediately
linkHandler.exit({ force: true })

// Graceful exit - Link may display a confirmation screen
// depending on how far the user is in the flow
linkHandler.exit()

// This is equivalent to the above:
linkHandler.exit({ force: false })

Exchange Token flow

Exchange a Link public_token for an API access_token. Link hands off the public_token client-side via the onSuccess callback once a user has successfully created an Item. The public_token is ephemeral and expires after 30 minutes. A public_token becomes invalidated once it has been successfully exchanged for an access_token.

The response also includes an item_id that should be stored with the access_token. The item_id is used to identify an Item in a webhook. The item_id can also be retrieved by making an /item/get request.

Field	Required?
`client_id` String	yes
`secret` String	yes
`public_token` String	yes

Creating Public Tokens

A public_token is one-time use and expires after 30 minutes. You use a public_token to initialize Link in update mode for a particular Item.

If you need your user to take action to restore or resolve an error associated with an Item, generate a public token with the POST /item/public_token/create endpoint and then initialize Link with that public_token.

You can generate a public_token for an Item even if you did not use Link to create the Item originally.

Field	Required?
`client_id` String	yes
`secret` String	yes
`access_token` String	yes

Updating Items via Link

Over time, Items may need to refresh authentication information. This can happen if the user changes a password, if MFA requirements change, or if the login becomes locked. Link’s update mode makes the reauthentication process secure and painless.

To use update mode for an Item, initialize Link with a public_token for the Item that you wish to update. Link auto-detects the appropriate institution and handles the credential and multi-factor authentication process, if needed.

An Items access_token does not change when using Link in update mode, so there is no need to repeat the exchange token process.

iOS bindings

Plaid Link WebView example

Plaid Link for iOS is a native SDK for iOS 8+ that brings the same features and functionality that exist with Link on the web to iOS. Best of all, Plaid Link for iOS requires zero changes to your backend integration.

Looking to get started right away?

Jump to the iOS examples for complete sample apps in Swift and Objective-C that use the embeddable LinkKit.framework to manage the details of linking an account with Plaid.

Check out example apps

Consult the documentation to learn about the details on how to integrate Plaid Link for iOS in your application.

Read the iOS integration guide

WebView integration

Link is optimized to work within WebViews, including on iOS and Android. The Link initialization URL that’s optimized for WebViews is:


https://cdn.plaid.com/link/v2/stable/link.html

The Link configuration options for a WebView integration are passed via querystring rather than via a client-side Javascript call. See the parameter reference for complete documentation. Read on for example WebView initialization URls for common Link use cases.

Looking to get started right away?

Jump to the WebView examples for sample apps for iOS WKWebView and Android WebView! The sample code includes examples to initialize Link and process events communicated from Link to your app.

Check out example apps

Communication between Link and your app

Communication between the WebView and your app is handled by HTTP redirects rather than client-side JavaScript callbacks. These redirects should be intercepted by your app. The example apps include sample code to do this.

All redirect URLs have the scheme plaidlink. The event type is communicated via the URL host and data is passed via the querystring. There are two supported events, connected and exit, which are documented below.

`connected` event

The connected event is analogous to the onSuccess callback and is sent when the user completes the Link flow. The following information is available from the querystring:

Field	Description
`public_token`	Link `public_token` that is exchanged for an API `access_token`
`accounts`	JSON-stringified representation of the account(s) selected by the user in the shape of `[Object]`. Enable the Select Account view to collect this data.
`institution_id`	The institution ID, such as `'ins_100000'`
`institution_name`	The full institution name, such as `'Bank of America'`

`connected` event example


plaidlink://connected
  ?public_token=public-sandbox-fb7cca4a-82e6-4707
  &accounts='[{"name":"Plaid Savings","id":"QPO8Jo8vdDHMepg41PBwckXm4KdK1yUdmXOwK"}]'
  &institution_id=ins_3
  &institution_name=Chase

`exit` event

The exit event is analogous to the onExit callback and is sent when the user exits the Link flow. The following information is available from the querystring:

Field	Description
`status`	The user’s status in the Link flow when they exited. See the possible values
`error_code`	The error code that the user encountered
`error_message`	The error message that the user encountered
`institution_id`	The institution ID, such as `'ins_100000'`
`institution_name`	The full institution name, such as `'Bank of America'`
`link_session_id`	A unique identifier for a single session of Link. It's always available and will stay constant throughout the flow

`exit` event example


plaidlink://exit
  ?status=requires_credentials
  &error_code=ITEM_LOGIN_REQUIRED
  &error_display_message=The%20provided%20credentials%20were%20not%20correct.%20Please%20try%20again.
  &error_message=the%20provided%20credentials%20were%20not%20correct
  &error_type=ITEM_ERROR
  &institution_id=ins_3
  &institution_name=Chase
  &request_id=m8MDnv9okwxFNBV

`event` event

The event event is analogous to the onEvent callback and is called as the user moves through the Link flow. The querystring will always contain all possible keys though not all keys will have values. The event_name will dictate which keys are populated (see the onEvent callback to understand when each key is guaranteed to have a value).

Field	Description
`event_name`	A string representing the event that has just occurred in the Link flow
`view_name`	The Link view that the user navigated to.
`error_code`	The error code that the user encountered
`error_message`	The error message that the user encountered
`error_type`	The error type that the user encountered
`institution_id`	The institution ID, such as `'ins_100000'`
`institution_name`	The full institution name, such as `'Bank of America'`
`link_session_id`	A unique identifier for a single session of Link. It's always available and will stay constant throughout the flow

`event` event example


plaidlink://event
  ?error_code
  &error_message
  &error_type
  &event_name=SELECT_INSTITUTION
  &exit_status
  &institution_id=ins_13
  &institution_name=PNC
  &institution_search_query
  &link_session_id=821f45a8-854a-4dbb-8e5f-73f75350e7e7

Item product access

Auth

Auth overview diagram

Plaid offers 4 authentication paths for a user to successfully verify their Auth numbers:

Instant Auth: User enters their credentials and are authenticated immediately
Instant Match: User enters their credentials, account and routing numbers. Plaid matches user input and authenticates immediately
Automated Microdeposits: User enters their credentials, account and routing numbers. Plaid makes 2 micro-deposits and automatically verifies the deposits within 1-2 business days
Same Day Microdeposits: User enters account and routing numbers. Plaid makes 2 Same Day ACH micro-deposits and user manually verifies the deposits within 1 business day.

The /auth/get endpoint then allows you to retrieve the bank account and routing numbers 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 auth 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.

Enabling all Auth features

By default, only Instant Auth is enabled for your Plaid account. Please reach out to your account manager or integrations@plaid.com to get started. Once enabled, you can trigger all Auth features by including a user object in your Link configuration. See the Link parameter reference above for more details.


Plaid.create({
  ...,
  product: ['auth'],
  // we require a webhook for automated microdeposits,
  // for successful or unsuccessful verification
  webhook: 'https://your_app_url.com/webhook',
  // we require your application’s user information
  user: {
    legalName: 'John Appleseed',
    emailAddress: 'jappleseed@youapp.com'
  }
});

Verifying Same Day Microdeposits

Once Plaid has posted 2 micro deposits to a user’s institution, the user needs to come back into Link to verify the 2 amounts after 2-3 business days. This is done by creating a new public_token from the associated access_token for the given user, and passing it into the Link configuration under the keyname token.


curl -X POST https://sandbox.plaid.com/item/public_token/create \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "client_id": String,
    "secret": String,
    "access_token": "access-sandbox-de3ce8ef-33f8-452c-a685-8671031fc0f6"
  }'

Pass the created public_token into the Link configuration. This will identify the user’s verification state, and open Link directly to the verification view, prompting them to enter 2 amounts to verify.


var linkHandler = Plaid.create({
  ...,
  token: "NEW_PUBLIC_TOKEN" // pass in generated public_token
  onSuccess: function(public_token, metadata) {
    metadata = {
      accounts: [{
        verification_status: 'manually_verified',
      }]
    }
  }
})
linkHandler.open()

Transactions

The /transactions/get endpoint allows developers to receive user-authorized transaction data for credit and depository-type Accounts. 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.

Due to the potentially large number of transactions associated with an Item, results are paginated. Manipulate the count and offset parameters in conjunction with the total_transactions response body field to fetch all available Transactions.

Transaction schema

Key	Description
`transaction_id` String	The unique ID of the transaction.
`account_id` String	The ID of the account in which this transaction occurred.
`category` [String], nullable	A hierarchical array of the categories to which this transaction belongs. See Categories.
`category_id` String, nullable	The ID of the category to which this transaction belongs. See Categories.
`transaction_type` String	`digital`: transactions that took place online. `place`: transactions that were made at a physical location. `special`: transactions that relate to banks, e.g. fees or deposits. `unresolved`: transactions that do not fit into the other three types.
`name` String	The merchant name or transaction description.
`amount` Number	The settled dollar value. Positive values when money moves out of the account; negative values when money moves in. For example, purchases are positive; credit card payments, direct deposits, refunds are negative.
`iso_currency_code` String, nullable	The ISO currency code of the transaction, either `USD` or `CAD`. Always `null` if `unofficial_currency_code` is non-null.
`unofficial_currency_code` String, nullable	The unofficial currency code associated with the transaction. Always `null` if `iso_currency_code` is non-null.
`date` String	For pending transactions, Plaid returns the date the transaction occurred; for posted transactions, Plaid returns the date the transaction posts. Both dates are returned in an ISO 8601 format (`YYYY-MM-DD`).
`location` Object	Information about where the transaction occurred. The `location` key will always be an `Object`, but no location data elements are guaranteed.
`payment_meta` Object	Information about where the transaction occurred. The `payment_meta` key will always be an `Object`, but no payment_meta data elements are guaranteed.
`pending` Boolean	When `true`, identifies the transaction as pending or unsettled. Pending transaction details (name, type, amount, category ID) may change before they are settled.
`pending_transaction_id` String, nullable	The ID of a posted transaction's associated pending transaction—where applicable.
`account_owner` String, nullable	The name of the account owner. This field is not typically populated and only relevant when dealing with sub-accounts.

Transaction location schema

Key	Description
`address` String, nullable	The street address where the transaction occurred.
`city` String, nullable	The city where the transaction occurred.
`state` String, nullable	The state where the transaction occurred.
`zip` String, nullable	The zip code where the transaction occurred.
`lat` Number, nullable	The latitude where the transaction occurred.
`lon` Number, nullable	The longitude where the transaction occurred.

`reference_number` String, nullable	The transaction reference number supplied by the financial institution.
`ppd_id` String, nullable	The ACH PPD ID for the payer.
`payee_name` String, nullable	For transfers, the party that is receiving the transaction.

Item transaction updates

After an Item is added, Plaid begins a process to collect, parse, and clean all of the Item's most recent transactions over the next 30-240 seconds. If a webhook is provided, you’ll get a notification as soon as that process is complete. After that, we’ll update the Item's data at set intervals throughout the day to collect all of the most recent transactions. An Item's account and transaction data may be retrieved at any time from our /transactions/get endpoint.

Transactions are pulled as they are posted to the issuing institution. Dependent on the merchant acquirer, processor, gateway and issuer, the time from when a transaction occurs to when it's posted can be from a few minutes to a few days. The date listed in transaction will be as close to the original transaction date as possible.

Full transaction history

After the initial Item transaction pull, you should receive a webhook for the INITIAL_UPDATE, after which we will pull all available transactional history for the Item.

Note: We work hard to provide as much historical data as possible. However, there are limiting factors in the amount of information an institution holds and the length of time a user has had an account.

Balance

The /accounts/balance/get endpoint returns the real-time balance for each of an Item's accounts. It can be used for existing Items that were added via any of Plaid’s other products.

The current balance is the total amount of funds in the account. The available balance is the amount of funds available to be withdrawn from an account, as determined by the financial institution. The available balance typically, but not always, equals the current balance less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows.

Note that not all institutions calculate the available balance. In the event that available balance is unavailable from the institution, Plaid will return an available balance value of null.

Income data schema

Key	Description
`last_year_income` Number	The sum of the `Item’s` income over the past 365 days. If we have less than 365 days of data this will be less than a full year's income.
`last_year_income_before_tax` Number	`last_year_income` interpolated to value before taxes. This is the minimum pre-tax salary that assumes a filing status of single with zero dependents.
`projected_yearly_income` Number	`Item’s` income extrapolated over a year based on current, active income streams. Income streams become inactive if they have not recurred for more than two cycles. For example, if a weekly paycheck hasn’t been seen for the past two weeks, it's no longer active.
`projected_yearly_income_before_tax` Number	`projected_yearly_income` interpolated to value before taxes. This is the minimum pre-tax salary that assumes a filing status of single with zero dependents.
`income_streams` [Object]	An array of income streams with detailed information on each. See income streams.
`max_number_of_overlapping_income_streams` Number	Max number of income streams present at the same time over the past 365 days.
`number_of_income_streams` Number	Total number of distinct income streams received over the past 365 days.

Income stream schema

Key	Description
`monthly_income` Number	The monthly income associated with the income stream
`confidence` Number	A numeric representation of our confidence in the income data associated with this particular income stream, with 0 being the lowest confidence and 1 being the highest
`days` Number	Extent of data found for this income stream
`name` String	Name of the entity associated with this income stream

Assets

The /asset_report/get and /asset_report/pdf/get endpoints allow you to retrieve point-in-time snapshots of an Item or set of Items, including account balances, historical transactions, and account holder identity information, which we call Asset Reports.

In addition to the Item data retrieved from the financial institution via Plaid, you can append additional data that you supply to the Asset Report such as your own tracking ID and information about the user; some of these client-submitted fields are required for various partner programs like Fannie Mae's Day 1 Certainty™, but are otherwise optional.

Asset Reports are intended to be created on a per-user basis. In the context of a loan application, for example, the lender would create an Asset Report for each borrower on a given loan.

Finally, Asset Reports are immutable, meaning they can only be created and removed, not updated. If you would like to retrieve updated transactions and balances, for example, you can simply use the /asset_report/refresh endpoint to create a new Asset Report based on the old one, but updated with the most recent data available from the financial institution(s).

With your desired access_tokens in hand, all you need to do to create an Asset Report is to call the /asset_report/create endpoint. For a description of each required and optional parameter, see the Assets parameter reference.

To obtain an Asset Report for a given user, you’ll need to complete the following steps:

Create Items for each of the user’s institutions, using Plaid Link
Create the Asset Report using the access_tokens for each of those Items
Retrieve the Asset Report in your desired format
Share the Asset Report (optional) by obtaining an audit_copy_token and then passing it to a participating third party, for example Fannie Mae as part of its Day 1 Certainty™ program

1. Create Items

First, you'll obtain an access_token for each of the user's institutions by creating Items with Plaid Link. In order for an access_token to be used to obtain an Asset Report, it must have been generated with assets included in Link's product array (see the Link parameter reference above); otherwise, you will encounter a PRODUCT_NOT_ENABLED error when creating an Asset Report with that access_token.

If the user needs to link accounts at multiple institutions, simply repeat the Link flow for each, instructing the user to authenticate the next institution until they have linked all of their intended Items. You can include multiple Items in a single Asset Report by including an access_token for each Item.

2. Create an Asset Report

With your desired access_tokens in hand, all you need to do to create an Asset Report is to call the /asset_report/create endpoint.

That’s it! Save the asset_report_token and asset_report_id in a secure datastore, as they’re used to access the Asset Report data and identify webhooks, respectively.

Note: In order for an access_token to be used to obtain an Asset Report, it must have been generated with assets included in Link’s product array (see the Link parameter reference above); otherwise, you will encounter a PRODUCT_NOT_ENABLED error when creating an Asset Report with that access_token, as shown here:

Refreshing an Asset Report

An 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/refresh endpoint to create a new Asset Report based on the old one, but with the most recent data available from the financial institution(s).

The new Asset Report will contain the same Items as the original Report, excluding any Accounts previously excluded from it using the /asset_report/filter endpoint.

By default, the new Asset Report will contain the same values you submitted within the options object of your original /asset_report/create request, but these values can be overridden. For example, if you provided a webhook URL in your initial /asset_report/create request, the same webhook URL will be associated with the new Report unless you override it. To override any of the options fields, simply supply new values for them in your request to /asset_report/refresh as shown below. Submit an empty string ("") for any previously-populated fields you would like set as empty.

The new Asset Report will also contain by default the same number of days of transaction history as the original Report, but you can request a different number of days by including the days_requested field in your request to /asset_report/refresh, as shown below:


const overrides = {
  daysRequested: 60;
  options: {
    client_report_id: '123',
    webhook: 'https://www.example.com',
    user: {
      client_user_id: '789',

  },
};

Specifying which Accounts appear in the Asset Report

By default, an Asset Report will contain all of the Accounts on a given Item. To narrow an Asset Report to only a subset of Accounts, you'll use the /asset_report/filter endpoint.

To exclude certain Accounts from an Asset Report, you'll first use the /asset_report/create endpoint as described above, which creates a "full" Asset Report containing data for all available Accounts. Then, after that initial Asset Report has finished being generated, you'll send its asset_report_token along with a list of account_ids to exclude to the /asset_report/filter endpoint, 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/filter does not alter the original Asset Report in any way; rather, /asset_report/filter creates a new Asset Report, with a new asset_report_token, asset_report_id, and date_generated, containing a subset of the data from the original Asset Report. Asset Reports created via /asset_report/filter do not contain new Asset data, and are not billed.

"Filtering" an Asset Report is therefore similar to creating an Asset Report from scratch. The /asset_report/filter request returns immediately, while Report generation completes asynchronously. Plaid will send you a webhook once generation of the filtered Asset Report has completed.

Once created, a filtered Asset Report behaves like any other. You can retrieve it, create and share Audit Copies of it, and remove it, all as described below.

You can also refresh a filtered Asset Report. The account_ids_to_exclude that you provided in your request to /asset_report/filter will be excluded from the refreshed report as well.

There are many ways you can determine which Accounts to include in an Asset Report. For example, you might have the end user choose which Accounts are relevant in Link using the Select Account view, which you can enable in the dashboard. Or, you might always exclude certain Account types or subtypes, which you can identify without retrieving the entire Asset Report by using the /accounts/get endpoint (see above).

3. Retrieve an Asset Report

You can retrieve your Asset Report in multiple formats, determined by the endpoint you call.


POST /asset_report/get
POST /asset_report/pdf/get

Retrieve JSON Report request

To retrieve the Asset Report in JSON format, simply call the /asset_report/get endpoint. 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. You can read more about our categories here.

To retrieve an Asset Report with Insights, call the /asset_report/get endpoint with include_insights set to true. Note that you will need to contact us to get access to this feature.

Field	Type	Description
client_id	string	Your `client_id`
secret	string	Your `secret`
asset_report_token	string	The Asset Report token from the `/asset_report/create` response
include_insights (optional)	boolean	`true` if you would like to retrieve the Asset Report with Insights, `false` otherwise. This field defaults to `false` if omitted. Contact us to get access to this feature.

Retrieve PDF Report request

To retrieve the Asset Report as a pre-formatted PDF, call the /asset_report/pdf/get endpoint. On success, the request id for /asset_report/pdf/get is returned in the Plaid-Request-ID header.


client.getAssetReportPdf(ASSET_REPORT_TOKEN, (error, pdfResponse) => {
  if (error != null) {
    // Handle error.
  }

  // The PDF is binary data.
  const pdf = pdfResponse;
});


curl -X POST https://sandbox.plaid.com/asset_report/pdf/get \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -d '{
   "client_id": String,
   "secret": String,
   "asset_report_token": String
 }' \
 -o 'asset_report.pdf'


pdf = @client.asset_report.get_pdf(asset_report_token)


Response<AssetReportGetPdfResponse> response =
  client
  .service()
  .assetReportPdfGet(new AssetReportPdfGetRequest(assetReportToken);)
  .execute();
byte[] pdf = response.body().bytes();


pdf = client.AssetReport.get_pdf(asset_report_token)

Plaid can provide an Audit Copy of any Asset Report directly to a participating third party on your behalf. For example, Plaid will 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, you’ll create an audit_copy_token for it and then pass that token to the third party who needs access. Each third party has its own auditor_id, for example fannie_mae. You’ll need to create a separate Audit Copy for each third party to whom you want to grant access to the Report.

Simply call the /asset_report/audit_copy/create endpoint as follows:

Create Audit Copy request


// The auditor ID corresponds to the third party with which you want to share
// the asset report. For example, Fannie Mae's auditor ID is 'fannie_mae'.
const auditorId = 'fannie_mae';

client.createAuditCopy(ASSET_REPORT_TOKEN, auditorId, (error, createResponse) => {
  if (error != null) {
    // Handle error.
  }

  const auditCopyToken = createResponse.audit_copy_token;
});


curl -X POST https://sandbox.plaid.com/asset_report/audit_copy/create \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -d '{
   "client_id": String,
   "secret": String,
   "asset_report_token": String,
   "auditor_id": String
 }'


# The auditor ID corresponds to the third party with which you want to share
# the asset report. For example, Fannie Mae's auditor ID is 'fannie_mae'.
auditor_id = 'fannie_mae'

response = @client.asset_report.create_audit_copy(asset_report_token, auditor_id)
audit_copy_token = response.audit_copy_token


// The auditor ID corresponds to the third party with which you want to share
// the asset report. For example, Fannie Mae's auditor ID is "fannie_mae".
String auditorId = "fannie_mae";
AssetReportAuditCopyCreateRequest request =
  new AssetReportAuditCopyCreateRequest(assetReportToken, auditorId);
Response<AssetReportAuditCopyCreateResponse> response =
  client
  .service()
  .assetReportAuditCopyCreate(request)
  .execute();
String auditCopyToken = response.body().getAuditCopyToken();


# The auditor ID corresponds to the third party with which you want to share
# the asset report. For example, Fannie Mae's auditor ID is 'fannie_mae'.
auditor_id = 'fannie_mae'

response = client.AssetReport.audit_copy.create(asset_report_token, auditor_id)
audit_copy_token = response['audit_copy_token']

{
   "audit_copy_token": "a-sandbox-3TAU2CWVYBDVRHUCAAAI27ULU4",
   "request_id": "Iam3b"
}

Store the audit_copy_token in a secure datastore.

Next pass the audit_copy_token to the third party you want to have access to the Audit Copy. The third party will then be able to access the Audit Copy directly from Plaid using the token along with its client_id and secret.

Additional Fannie Mae Day 1 Certainty™ considerations

To be eligible for Day 1 Certainty™, three otherwise optional fields are required when creating an Asset Report. Fannie Mae requires the first_name, last_name and ssn fields within the User object. You can omit these if you do not plan to pass an audit_copy_token to Fannie Mae. Additionally, days_requested must be at least 61 for new originations or at least 31 for refinancings.

Only Asset Reports created within the production environment are compatible with Day 1 Certainty™. Asset Reports created in the sandbox or development environments cannot be accessed by Fannie Mae.

Remove Asset Reports and Audit Copies

The /item/remove endpoint allows you to invalidate an access_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. In other words, removing an Item does not cascade-remove any Asset Reports.

The /asset_report/remove endpoint allows you to remove an Asset Report. Removing an Asset Report invalidates its asset_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 also invalidate any audit_copy_tokens associated with the Asset Report. In other words, removing an Asset Report also cascade-removes its Audit Copies.

Remove Asset Report request


client.removeAssetReport(ASSET_REPORT_TOKEN, (error, removeResponse) => {
  if (error != null) {
    // Handle error.
  }

  const removed = removeResponse.removed;
});


curl -X POST https://sandbox.plaid.com/asset_report/remove \

    client
    .service()
    .assetReportRemove(new AssetReportRemoveRequest(assetReportToken))
    .execute();
  boolean removed = response.body().getRemoved();


response = client.AssetReport.remove(asset_report_token)
removed = response['removed']

The /asset_report/audit_copy/remove endpoint allows you to remove an Audit Copy. Removing an Audit Copy invalidates the audit_copy_token associated 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.

Rotate Access Token

By default, the access_token associated with an Item does not expire and should be stored in a persistent, secure manner.

You can use the POST /item/access_token/invalidate endpoint to rotate the access_token associated with an Item. The endpoint returns a new access_token and immediately invalidates the previous access_token.

Rotate Access Token request


POST /item/access_token/invalidate

Field	Required?
`client_id` String	yes
`secret` String	yes
`access_token` String	yes


// Generate a new access_token for an Item, invalidating the old one
client.invalidateAccessToken(ACCESS_TOKEN, (err, result) => {
  // Handle err
  // Store the new access_token in a persistent, secure datastore
  const accessToken  = result.new_acccess_token;
});

}

Update Access Token version

If you have an access_token from the legacy version of Plaid’s API, you can use the /item/access_token/update_version endpoint to generate an access_token for the Item that works with the current API.

Calling this endpoint does not revoke the legacy API access_token. You can still use the legacy access_token in the legacy API environment to retrieve data. You can also begin using the new access_token with our current API immediately.

If there is a webhook associated with the Item, you will begin receiving current API webhooks as soon as a new access_token is generated for the Item.

The response includes an item_id that should be stored along the new access_token. The item_id is used to identify Items in webhooks. The item_id can always be retrieved by making an /item/get request.

This endpoint is only available in the Development and Production API environments.

Update Access Token version request


POST /item/access_token/update_version

Field	Required?	Description
`client_id` String	yes
`secret` String	yes
`access_token_v1` String	yes	The legacy API access_token (160 character hexadecimal string)

Remove an Item

The /item/remove endpoint allows you to remove an Item. Once removed, the access_token associated with the Item is no longer valid and cannot be used to access any data that was associated with the Item.

Note: In the Development environment, issuing an /item/remove request will not decrement your live credential count.

Errors

Errors overview

We use standard HTTP response codes for success and failure notifications, and our errors are further classified by error_type. In general, 200 HTTP codes correspond to success, 40X codes are for developer- or user-related failures, and 50X codes are for Plaid-related issues. We’re always working to minimize API errors related to Plaid integrations and to address connectivity issues across bank infrastructure. The best resource related to error code resolution is the Help Center.

Webhooks

Auth webhooks

When an Automated microdeposit Item is created, Plaid verifies the Item and sends a webhook upon successful verification, 1 to 2 business days later. Occasionally when verification does not succeed, Plaid sends an expired webhook. Please note, if you attempt to retrieve an Automated microdeposit Item before verification succeeds, you’ll receive a response with the HTTP status code 400 and a Plaid error code of PRODUCT_NOT_READY.

Auth webhooks will be sent to the URL supplied when creating an Item.

Code	Details
AUTOMATICALLY_VERIFIED	Fired when an Item is automatically verified after 1 to 2 business days. We recommend communicating to your users when this event is received to notify them that their account is verified and ready for use.
VERIFICATION_EXPIRED	Fired when an Item cannot be verified automatically after 7 days.

Automated microdeposit successful webhook


{
  "webhook_type": "AUTH",
  "webhook_code": "AUTOMATICALLY_VERIFIED",
  "item_id": String,
  "account_id": String
}

Automated microdeposit verification failed webhook


{
  "webhook_type": "AUTH",
  "webhook_code": "ERROR",
  "item_id": String,
  "account_id": String,
  "error": {
    "display_message": String,
    "error_code": String,
    "error_message": String,
    "error_type": "VERIFICATION_EXPIRED"
  },
}

Transactions webhooks

You can receive notifications via a webhook whenever there are new transactions associated with an Item, including when Plaid’s initial and historical transaction pull are completed. All webhooks related to transactions have a webhook_type of TRANSACTIONS.

Code	Details
INITIAL_UPDATE	Fired when an `Item's` initial transaction pull is completed. Note: The default pull is 30 days.
HISTORICAL_UPDATE	Fired when an `Item's` historical transaction pull is completed. Plaid fetches as much data as is available from the financial institution.
DEFAULT_UPDATE	Fired when new transaction data is available as Plaid performs its regular updates of the `Item`.
TRANSACTIONS_REMOVED	Fired when posted transaction(s) for an `Item` are deleted. The deleted transaction IDs are included in the webhook payload.

The webhook must be in the standard format of http(s)://(www.)domain.com/. The response will contain a corresponding success message and code along with the same item_id that was returned in the initial call (examples below). Once the transaction processing has finished, you can use the Item's access_token to collect the full account and transaction information for that user.

All transactions webhooks will have a webhook_type equal to TRANSACTIONS. Each webhook payload will also include a unique webhook_code and the item_id for which the webhook is being fired.

Webhook Body

Initial Transaction Webhook


{
  "webhook_type": "TRANSACTIONS",
  "webhook_code": "INITIAL_UPDATE",
  "item_id": "wz666MBjYWTp2PDzzggYhM6oWWmBb",

    "kgygNvAVPzSX9KkddNdWHaVGRVex1MHm3k9no"
  ],
  "error": null
}

Item webhooks

Webhooks are also used to communicate changes to an Item, such as an updated webhook, or errors encountered with an Item. The error typically requires user action to resolve, such as when a user changes their password. For a complete list of possible errors, see Errors.

Code	Details
`WEBHOOK_UPDATE_ACKNOWLEDGED`	Fired when an `Item`’s webhook is updated.
`ERROR`	Fired when an error is encountered with an `Item`. The error can be resolved by having the user go through Link’s update mode.

Item's Webhook Updated


{
  "webhook_type": "ITEM",
  "webhook_code": "WEBHOOK_UPDATE_ACKNOWLEDGED",
  "item_id": "wz666MBjYWTp2PDzzggYhM6oWWmBb",
  "error": null,
  "new_webhook_url": "https://plaid.com/example/webhook"
}

Error Response Webhook Example


{
  "webhook_type": "ITEM",
  "webhook_code": "ERROR",
  "item_id": "wz666MBjYWTp2PDzzggYhM6oWWmBb",
  "error": {
    "display_message": "The provided credentials were not correct. Please try again.",

    "error_message": "the provided credentials were not correct",
    "error_type": "ITEM_ERROR",
    "status": 400
  }
}

Income webhooks

If you're using webhooks with the Income product, you'll receive a webhook when Plaid calculates the Income data for the Item. Once you receive this webhook, you can make an /income/get API request to retrieve Income data.

Income ready webhook


{
  "webhook_type": "INCOME",
  "webhook_code": "PRODUCT_READY",
  "item_id": "wz666MBjYWTp2PDzzggYhM6oWWmBb",
  "error": null
}

Assets webhooks

When you create an Asset Report, Plaid collects account balances, account holder identity information, and transaction history for the duration specified in the days_requested field. If you attempt to retrieve an Asset Report before all the requested data has been collected, you’ll receive a response with the HTTP status code 400 and a Plaid error code of PRODUCT_NOT_READY.

To remove the need for polling, Plaid will send a webhook to the URL you supplied when creating the Asset Report once the Report has been generated. If Asset Report generation fails, Plaid will send a webhook indicating why generation failed.

Note that Assets webhooks will only be sent to the URL supplied when creating the Asset Report, not to the URLs supplied when creating the Items that are included in the Report.

Report generation successful webhook


{
  "asset_report_id": String,
  "webhook_code": "PRODUCT_READY",
  "webhook_type": "ASSETS"
}

Report generation failed webhook


{
  "asset_report_id": String,
  "error": {
    "display_message": String,
    "error_code": String,
    "error_message": String,
    "error_type": "ASSET_REPORT_ERROR"
  },
  "webhook_code": "ERROR",
  "webhook_type": "ASSETS"
}

Institutions

Institution overview

Plaid supports thousands of financial institutions, and we’re always working to add support for more. The /institutions/search endpoint makes it easy to stay up-to-date with supported institutions and help your users quickly find their institutions.

You can also use the /institutions/get endpoint to retrieve a complete list of supported institutions. This data changes frequently, and we recommend that you do not store it on your system. If you do store it, be sure to update it regularly.

Institutions endpoints


POST /institutions/get
POST /institutions/get_by_id
POST /institutions/search

Institutions by product

This is not a comprehensive list, but below you can find product coverage information for some of our most popular institutions:

	Auth	Transactions	Balance	Identity	Income	Assets
amex ID:`ins_10`
bbt ID:`ins_2`
bbvac ID:`ins_23`
bofa ID:`ins_1`
capone ID:`ins_9`
chase ID:`ins_3`
citizens ID:`ins_20`

To see a full list of supported institutions across all products, use the /institutions/get and /institutions/search endpoints.

Note: While we do our best to streamline the majority of bank interactions, it’s worth noting a few rare inconsistencies with certain banks and account types. For example, some newly opened accounts may be missing certain information for a short period of time while the data propagates through the bank’s systems. A detailed list of such exceptions can be found below.

Creating Items in the Sandbox

Each institution works with Plaid’s Sandbox credentials. These special credentials allow you to simulate successful requests, requests that require various types of MFA, and failed requests. The default credentials are:


username: user_good
password: pass_good
pin: credential_good (when required)

Sandbox MFA testing

You can trigger any type of MFA flow that Plaid supports when creating an Item. Do so by using username user_good and modifying the password:

Password	Notes
`mfa_device` Device MFA	Code for all devices: `1234`
`mfa_questions_<n>_<m>` Questions MFA	n-rounds of m-questions per round; `answer_<i>_<j>`, for j-th question in i-th round. `0 <= i, j < 9`
`mfa_selections` Selections MFA (simple)	Answer for all selections: "Yes"
`mfa_selections_<n>_<m>_<o>` Selections MFA (multiple)	n-rounds of m-questions with o-answers per question; `answer_<i>_<j>_0`, for j-th question in i-th round. `0 < n, m < 10` and `2 <= o < 10`

Sandbox Auth testing

You can trigger specific Auth flows in the Sandbox environment, by using the following credentials:

Step	Instant Match	Automated Micro-deposits	Same Day Micro-deposits
Institution	Houndstooth Bank	Houndstooth Bank	N/A
Username	`user_good`	`user_good`	N/A
Password	`pass_good`	`microdeposits_good`	N/A
Account	`Plaid Saving (****1111)`	`Plaid Checking (****0000)`	`Checking` or `Savings`
Routing number	`011401533`	`011401533`	`011401533`
Account number	`1111222233331111`	`1111222233330000`	`1111222233330000`
Micro-deposit #1	N/A	N/A	`$0.01`
Micro-deposit #2	N/A	N/A	`$0.02`

Sandbox Item Error testing

You can trigger any ITEM_ERROR or INSTITUTION_ERROR that you could typically receive when creating an Item. Do so by using username user_good and modifying the password:


error_[ERROR_CODE]

For example, the password error_ITEM_LOCKED allows you to simulate an ITEM_LOCKED error.

Creating Sandbox Items via the API

You can also create Items in the sandbox environment without using Link. Create a valid public_token for arbitrary institution ID and initial products. The created public_token maps to a new Sandbox Item. You can then exchange the public_token for an access_token and perform all API actions.


POST /sandbox/public_token/create

Field	Required?	Description
`institution_id` String	Yes
`public_key` String	Yes
`initial_products` [String]	Yes	The products to initially pull for the `Item`. May be any products that the specified `institution_id` supports.
`options` Object, optional	No	If provided, must be non-null.

Field	Default	Description
`webhook` String		Specify a webhook to associate with the new `Item`.

Create Sandbox Item request


// Generate a public_token for a given institution ID and set
// of initial products
client.sandboxPublicTokenCreate(
  INSTITUTION_ID, INITIAL_PRODUCTS, function(err, createResponse) {
  // Handle error, if present
  var publicToken = createResponse.public_token;
  // The generated public_token can now be exchanged
  // for an access_token
  client.exchangePublicToken(publicToken, function(err, exchangeRespone) {
    // Handle error, if present
    var accessToken = exchangeResponse.access_token;
  });
});


curl -X POST https://sandbox.plaid.com/sandbox/public_token/create \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
  "public_key": String,
  "institution_id": String,
  "initial_products": [String],
  "options": {
    "webhook": String
  }
}'


# Generate a public_token for a given institution ID
# and set of initial products
create_response = client.sandbox.sandbox_public_token.create(
  institution_id: SANDBOX_INSTITUTION,
  initial_products: ['transactions']
)
# The generated public_token can now be
# exchanged for an access_token
exchange_token_response = client.item.public_token.exchange(
  create_response.public_token
)


// Generate a public_token for a given institution ID
// and set of initial products
Response<SandboxPublicTokenCreateResponse> createResponse =
  client().service().sandboxPublicTokenCreate(
    new SandboxPublicTokenCreateRequest(INSTITUTION_ID, INITIAL_PRODUCTS)
  ).execute();
// The generated public_token can now be
// exchanged for an access_token
Response<ItemPublicTokenExchangeResponse> exchangeResponse =
  client().service().itemPublicTokenExchange(
    new ItemPublicTokenExchangeRequest(createResponse.body().getPublicToken())
  ).execute();


# Generate a public_token for a given institution ID
# and set of initial products
create_response =
  client.Sandbox.public_token.create(INSTITUTION_ID, ['transactions'])
# The generated public_token can now be
# exchanged for an access_token
exchange_response =
  client.Item.public_token.exchange(create_response['public_token'])

Create Sandbox Item response

}

Managing Item states

An Item may transition into an error state in response to changes made by the user or financial institution. The most common scenarios are when a user changes their password or when the financial institution changes their multi-factor authentication flow. Plaid Link makes it easy to restore a user's Item to a good state by having them provide updated credentials and MFA information, if needed.

In the Sandbox, Items transition to an ITEM_LOGIN_REQUIRED error state automatically after 30 days. You can also simulate this event via an API request.

Simulating `ITEM_LOGIN_REQUIRED` errors

The /sandbox/item/reset_login endpoint allows you put an Item in an ITEM_LOGIN_REQUIRED error state. You can then use Plaid Link update mode to restore the Item to a good state.

An ITEM_LOGIN_REQUIRED webhook will be fired after a call to this endpoint, if one is associated with the Item.

Field	Required?
`client_id` String	Yes
`secret` String	Yes
`access_token` String	Yes

Note: This endpoint is only available in the Sandbox API environment.

Simulate Item error


POST /sandbox/item/reset_login


client.resetLogin(access_token, function(err, reset_login_response) {
  // Handle err
  // create a public_token for the Item and use it to
  // initialize Link in update mode.
  client.createPublicToken(access_token, function(err, public_token_response) {
    // Handle err
  });
});


curl -X POST https://sandbox.plaid.com/sandbox/item/reset_login \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "client_id": String,
    "secret": String,
    "access_token": String
  }'


# force a sandbox item into an error state
client.sandbox.sandbox_item.reset_login(access_token)
# create a public_token for the Item and use it to
# initialize Link in update mode.
public_token_response = client.item.public_token.create(access_token)


Response<ItemResetLoginResponse> response = client().service().itemResetLogin(
  new ItemResetLoginRequest(ACCESS_TOKEN)
).execute();


# force a sandbox item into an error state
client.Sandbox.item.reset_login(access_token)
# create a public_token for the Item and use it
# to initialize Link in update mode.
public_token_response = client.Item.public_token.create(access_token)
