Processor partner endpoints

stringstring

Your Plaid API client_id. The client_id is required and may be provided either in the PLAID-CLIENT-ID header or as part of a request body.

requiredstringrequired, string

The processor token obtained from the Plaid integration partner. Processor tokens are in the format: processor-<environment>-<identifier>

stringstring

/processor/account/get

Response fields

objectobject

A single account at a financial institution.

stringstring

Plaid’s unique identifier for the account. This value will not change unless Plaid can't reconcile the account with the data returned by the financial institution. This may occur, for example, when the name of the account changes. If this happens a new account_id will be assigned to the account.
The account_id can also change if the access_token is deleted and the same credentials that were used to generate that access_token are used to generate a new access_token on a later date. In that case, the new account_id will be different from the old account_id.
If an account with a specific account_id disappears instead of changing, the account is likely closed. Closed accounts are not returned by the Plaid API.
When using a CRA endpoint (an endpoint associated with Plaid Check Consumer Report, i.e. any endpoint beginning with /cra/), the account_id returned will not match the account_id returned by a non-CRA endpoint.
Like all Plaid identifiers, the account_id is case sensitive.

objectobject

A set of fields describing the balance for an account. Balance information may be cached unless the balance object was returned by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate (using a Balance-only ruleset).

nullablenumbernullable, number

The amount of funds available to be withdrawn from the account, as determined by the financial institution.
For credit-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the limit less the current balance, less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows.
For depository-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the current balance less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows. For depository-type accounts, the available balance does not include the overdraft limit.
For investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the available balance is the total cash available to withdraw as presented by the institution.
Note that not all institutions calculate the available balance. In the event that available balance is unavailable, Plaid will return an available balance value of null.
Available balance may be cached and is not guaranteed to be up-to-date in realtime unless the value was returned by /accounts/balance/get, or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset.
If current is null this field is guaranteed not to be null.

Format: double

nullablenumbernullable, number

The total amount of funds in or owed by the account.
For credit-type accounts, a positive balance indicates the amount owed; a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.
For loan-type accounts, the current balance is the principal remaining on the loan, except in the case of student loan accounts at Sallie Mae (ins_116944). For Sallie Mae student loans, the account's balance includes both principal and any outstanding interest. Similar to credit-type accounts, a positive balance is typically expected, while a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.
For investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the current balance is the total value of assets as presented by the institution.
Note that balance information may be cached unless the value was returned by /accounts/balance/get or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset; if the Item is enabled for Transactions, the balance will be at least as recent as the most recent Transaction update. If you require realtime balance information, use the available balance as provided by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate called with a Balance-only ruleset_key.
When returned by /accounts/balance/get, this field may be null. When this happens, available is guaranteed not to be null.

Format: double

nullablenumbernullable, number

For credit-type accounts, this represents the credit limit.
For depository-type accounts, this represents the pre-arranged overdraft limit, which is common for current (checking) accounts in Europe.
In North America, this field is typically only available for credit-type accounts.

Format: double

nullablestringnullable, string

The ISO-4217 currency code of the balance. Always null if unofficial_currency_code is non-null.

nullablestringnullable, string

The unofficial currency code associated with the balance. Always null if iso_currency_code is non-null. Unofficial currency codes are used for currencies that do not have official ISO currency codes, such as cryptocurrencies and the currencies of certain countries.
See the currency code schema for a full listing of supported unofficial_currency_codes.

nullablestringnullable, string

Timestamp in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ) indicating the last time the balance was updated.
This field is returned only when the institution is ins_128026 (Capital One).

Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_insights_pass: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources: the routing and account number match a routing and account number of an account recognized on the Plaid network, and the account is not known by Plaid to be frozen or closed. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_insights_pass_with_caution: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources and have some signal for being valid: the routing and account number were not recognized on the Plaid network, but the routing number is valid and the account number is a potential valid account number for that routing number. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_matched: (deprecated) The Item has successfully been verified using Plaid's data sources. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Match.
null or empty string: Neither micro-deposit-based verification nor database verification are being used for the Item.

Possible values: automatically_verified, pending_automatic_verification, pending_manual_verification, unsent, manually_verified, verification_expired, verification_failed, database_matched, database_insights_pass, database_insights_pass_with_caution, database_insights_fail

stringstring

A unique and persistent identifier for accounts that can be used to trace multiple instances of the same account across different Items for depository accounts. This field is currently supported only for Items at institutions that use Tokenized Account Numbers (i.e., Chase and PNC, and in May 2025 US Bank). Because these accounts have a different account number each time they are linked, this field may be used instead of the account number to uniquely identify an account across multiple Items for payments use cases, helping to reduce duplicate Items or attempted fraud. In Sandbox, this field is populated for TAN-based institutions (ins_56, ins_13) as well as the OAuth Sandbox institution (ins_127287); in Production, it will only be populated for accounts at applicable institutions.

nullablestringnullable, string

Indicates the account's categorization as either a personal or a business account. This field is currently in beta; to request access, contact your account manager.

Possible values: business, personal, unrecognized

objectobject

Optional parameters to /processor/balance/get.

stringstring

Timestamp in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ) indicating the oldest acceptable balance when making a request to /accounts/balance/get.
This field is only necessary when the institution is ins_128026 (Capital One), and one or more account types being requested is a non-depository account (such as a credit card) as Capital One does not provide real-time balance for non-depository accounts. In this case, a value must be provided or an INVALID_REQUEST error with the code of INVALID_FIELD will be returned. For all other institutions, as well as for depository accounts at Capital One (including all checking and savings accounts) this field is ignored and real-time balance information will be fetched.
If this field is not ignored, and no acceptable balance is available, an INVALID_RESULT error with the code LAST_UPDATED_DATETIME_OUT_OF_RANGE will be returned.

Plaid’s unique identifier for the account. This value will not change unless Plaid can't reconcile the account with the data returned by the financial institution. This may occur, for example, when the name of the account changes. If this happens a new account_id will be assigned to the account.
The account_id can also change if the access_token is deleted and the same credentials that were used to generate that access_token are used to generate a new access_token on a later date. In that case, the new account_id will be different from the old account_id.
If an account with a specific account_id disappears instead of changing, the account is likely closed. Closed accounts are not returned by the Plaid API.
When using a CRA endpoint (an endpoint associated with Plaid Check Consumer Report, i.e. any endpoint beginning with /cra/), the account_id returned will not match the account_id returned by a non-CRA endpoint.
Like all Plaid identifiers, the account_id is case sensitive.

objectobject

A set of fields describing the balance for an account. Balance information may be cached unless the balance object was returned by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate (using a Balance-only ruleset).

nullablenumbernullable, number

The amount of funds available to be withdrawn from the account, as determined by the financial institution.
For credit-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the limit less the current balance, less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows.
For depository-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the current balance less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows. For depository-type accounts, the available balance does not include the overdraft limit.
For investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the available balance is the total cash available to withdraw as presented by the institution.
Note that not all institutions calculate the available balance. In the event that available balance is unavailable, Plaid will return an available balance value of null.
Available balance may be cached and is not guaranteed to be up-to-date in realtime unless the value was returned by /accounts/balance/get, or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset.
If current is null this field is guaranteed not to be null.

Format: double

nullablenumbernullable, number

The total amount of funds in or owed by the account.
For credit-type accounts, a positive balance indicates the amount owed; a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.
For loan-type accounts, the current balance is the principal remaining on the loan, except in the case of student loan accounts at Sallie Mae (ins_116944). For Sallie Mae student loans, the account's balance includes both principal and any outstanding interest. Similar to credit-type accounts, a positive balance is typically expected, while a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.
For investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the current balance is the total value of assets as presented by the institution.
Note that balance information may be cached unless the value was returned by /accounts/balance/get or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset; if the Item is enabled for Transactions, the balance will be at least as recent as the most recent Transaction update. If you require realtime balance information, use the available balance as provided by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate called with a Balance-only ruleset_key.
When returned by /accounts/balance/get, this field may be null. When this happens, available is guaranteed not to be null.

Format: double

nullablenumbernullable, number

For credit-type accounts, this represents the credit limit.
For depository-type accounts, this represents the pre-arranged overdraft limit, which is common for current (checking) accounts in Europe.
In North America, this field is typically only available for credit-type accounts.

Format: double

nullablestringnullable, string

The ISO-4217 currency code of the balance. Always null if unofficial_currency_code is non-null.

nullablestringnullable, string

The unofficial currency code associated with the balance. Always null if iso_currency_code is non-null. Unofficial currency codes are used for currencies that do not have official ISO currency codes, such as cryptocurrencies and the currencies of certain countries.
See the currency code schema for a full listing of supported unofficial_currency_codes.

nullablestringnullable, string

Timestamp in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ) indicating the last time the balance was updated.
This field is returned only when the institution is ins_128026 (Capital One).

stringstring

Indicates an Item's micro-deposit-based verification or database verification status. This field is only populated when using Auth and falling back to micro-deposit or database verification. Possible values are:
pending_automatic_verification: The Item is pending automatic verification.
pending_manual_verification: The Item is pending manual micro-deposit verification. Items remain in this state until the user successfully verifies the code.
automatically_verified: The Item has successfully been automatically verified.
manually_verified: The Item has successfully been manually verified.
verification_expired: Plaid was unable to automatically verify the deposit within 7 calendar days and will no longer attempt to validate the Item. Users may retry by submitting their information again through Link.
verification_failed: The Item failed manual micro-deposit verification because the user exhausted all 3 verification attempts. Users may retry by submitting their information again through Link.
unsent: The Item is pending micro-deposit verification, but Plaid has not yet sent the micro-deposit.
database_insights_pending: The Database Auth result is pending and will be available upon Auth request.
database_insights_fail: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources and have signal for being invalid and/or have no signal for being valid. Typically this indicates that the routing number is invalid, the account number does not match the account number format associated with the routing number, or the account has been reported as closed or frozen. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_insights_pass: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources: the routing and account number match a routing and account number of an account recognized on the Plaid network, and the account is not known by Plaid to be frozen or closed. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_insights_pass_with_caution: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources and have some signal for being valid: the routing and account number were not recognized on the Plaid network, but the routing number is valid and the account number is a potential valid account number for that routing number. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_matched: (deprecated) The Item has successfully been verified using Plaid's data sources. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Match.
null or empty string: Neither micro-deposit-based verification nor database verification are being used for the Item.

Possible values: automatically_verified, pending_automatic_verification, pending_manual_verification, unsent, manually_verified, verification_expired, verification_failed, database_matched, database_insights_pass, database_insights_pass_with_caution, database_insights_fail

stringstring

The account holder name that was used for micro-deposit and/or database verification. Only returned for Auth Items created via micro-deposit or database verification.

stringstring

A unique and persistent identifier for accounts that can be used to trace multiple instances of the same account across different Items for depository accounts. This field is currently supported only for Items at institutions that use Tokenized Account Numbers (i.e., Chase and PNC, and in May 2025 US Bank). Because these accounts have a different account number each time they are linked, this field may be used instead of the account number to uniquely identify an account across multiple Items for payments use cases, helping to reduce duplicate Items or attempted fraud. In Sandbox, this field is populated for TAN-based institutions (ins_56, ins_13) as well as the OAuth Sandbox institution (ins_127287); in Production, it will only be populated for accounts at applicable institutions.

nullablestringnullable, string

Indicates the account's categorization as either a personal or a business account. This field is currently in beta; to request access, contact your account manager.

Possible values: business, personal, unrecognized

legal_name

stringstring

The user's full legal name.

phone_number

stringstring

The user's phone number, in E.164 format: +{countrycode}{number}. For example: "+14157452130". Phone numbers provided in other formats will be parsed on a best-effort basis. Phone number input is validated against valid number ranges; number strings that do not match a real-world phone numbering scheme may cause the request to fail, even in the Sandbox test environment.

email_address

stringstring

The user's email address.

objectobject

Data about the components comprising an address.

Response fields

objectobject

Identity match scores for an account

stringstring

Plaid’s unique identifier for the account. This value will not change unless Plaid can't reconcile the account with the data returned by the financial institution. This may occur, for example, when the name of the account changes. If this happens a new account_id will be assigned to the account.
The account_id can also change if the access_token is deleted and the same credentials that were used to generate that access_token are used to generate a new access_token on a later date. In that case, the new account_id will be different from the old account_id.
If an account with a specific account_id disappears instead of changing, the account is likely closed. Closed accounts are not returned by the Plaid API.
When using a CRA endpoint (an endpoint associated with Plaid Check Consumer Report, i.e. any endpoint beginning with /cra/), the account_id returned will not match the account_id returned by a non-CRA endpoint.
Like all Plaid identifiers, the account_id is case sensitive.

objectobject

A set of fields describing the balance for an account. Balance information may be cached unless the balance object was returned by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate (using a Balance-only ruleset).

nullablenumbernullable, number

The amount of funds available to be withdrawn from the account, as determined by the financial institution.
For credit-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the limit less the current balance, less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows.
For depository-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the current balance less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows. For depository-type accounts, the available balance does not include the overdraft limit.
For investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the available balance is the total cash available to withdraw as presented by the institution.
Note that not all institutions calculate the available balance. In the event that available balance is unavailable, Plaid will return an available balance value of null.
Available balance may be cached and is not guaranteed to be up-to-date in realtime unless the value was returned by /accounts/balance/get, or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset.
If current is null this field is guaranteed not to be null.

Format: double

nullablenumbernullable, number

The total amount of funds in or owed by the account.
For credit-type accounts, a positive balance indicates the amount owed; a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.
For loan-type accounts, the current balance is the principal remaining on the loan, except in the case of student loan accounts at Sallie Mae (ins_116944). For Sallie Mae student loans, the account's balance includes both principal and any outstanding interest. Similar to credit-type accounts, a positive balance is typically expected, while a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.
For investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the current balance is the total value of assets as presented by the institution.
Note that balance information may be cached unless the value was returned by /accounts/balance/get or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset; if the Item is enabled for Transactions, the balance will be at least as recent as the most recent Transaction update. If you require realtime balance information, use the available balance as provided by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate called with a Balance-only ruleset_key.
When returned by /accounts/balance/get, this field may be null. When this happens, available is guaranteed not to be null.

Format: double

nullablenumbernullable, number

For credit-type accounts, this represents the credit limit.
For depository-type accounts, this represents the pre-arranged overdraft limit, which is common for current (checking) accounts in Europe.
In North America, this field is typically only available for credit-type accounts.

Format: double

nullablestringnullable, string

The ISO-4217 currency code of the balance. Always null if unofficial_currency_code is non-null.

nullablestringnullable, string

The unofficial currency code associated with the balance. Always null if iso_currency_code is non-null. Unofficial currency codes are used for currencies that do not have official ISO currency codes, such as cryptocurrencies and the currencies of certain countries.
See the currency code schema for a full listing of supported unofficial_currency_codes.

nullablestringnullable, string

Timestamp in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ) indicating the last time the balance was updated.
This field is returned only when the institution is ins_128026 (Capital One).

Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_insights_pass: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources: the routing and account number match a routing and account number of an account recognized on the Plaid network, and the account is not known by Plaid to be frozen or closed. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_insights_pass_with_caution: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources and have some signal for being valid: the routing and account number were not recognized on the Plaid network, but the routing number is valid and the account number is a potential valid account number for that routing number. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_matched: (deprecated) The Item has successfully been verified using Plaid's data sources. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Match.
null or empty string: Neither micro-deposit-based verification nor database verification are being used for the Item.

Possible values: automatically_verified, pending_automatic_verification, pending_manual_verification, unsent, manually_verified, verification_expired, verification_failed, database_matched, database_insights_pass, database_insights_pass_with_caution, database_insights_fail

stringstring

A unique and persistent identifier for accounts that can be used to trace multiple instances of the same account across different Items for depository accounts. This field is currently supported only for Items at institutions that use Tokenized Account Numbers (i.e., Chase and PNC, and in May 2025 US Bank). Because these accounts have a different account number each time they are linked, this field may be used instead of the account number to uniquely identify an account across multiple Items for payments use cases, helping to reduce duplicate Items or attempted fraud. In Sandbox, this field is populated for TAN-based institutions (ins_56, ins_13) as well as the OAuth Sandbox institution (ins_127287); in Production, it will only be populated for accounts at applicable institutions.

Get investment transactions data

The /processor/investments/transactions/get endpoint allows developers to retrieve up to 24 months of user-authorized transaction data for the investment account associated with the processor token.
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 the account, results are paginated. Manipulate the count and offset parameters in conjunction with the total_investment_transactions response body field to fetch all available investment transactions.
Note that Investments does not have a webhook to indicate when initial transaction data has loaded (unless you use the async_update option). Instead, if transactions data is not ready when /processor/investments/transactions/get is first called, Plaid will wait for the data. For this reason, calling /processor/investments/transactions/get immediately after Link may take up to one to two minutes to return.
Data returned by the asynchronous investments extraction flow (when async_update is set to true) may not be immediately available to /processor/investments/transactions/get. To be alerted when the data is ready to be fetched, listen for the HISTORICAL_UPDATE webhook. If no investments history is ready when /processor/investments/transactions/get is called, it will return a PRODUCT_NOT_READY error.
To receive Investments Transactions webhooks for a processor token, set its webhook URL via the /processor/token/webhook/update endpoint.

/processor/investments/transactions/get

Request fields

stringstring

Your Plaid API client_id. The client_id is required and may be provided either in the PLAID-CLIENT-ID header or as part of a request body.

objectobject

An optional object to filter /investments/transactions/get results. If provided, must be non-null.

account_ids

[string][string]

An array of account_ids to retrieve for the Item.

count

integerinteger

The number of transactions to fetch.

Default: 100

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 500

offset

integerinteger

The number of transactions to skip when fetching transaction history

Default: 0

Minimum: 0

async_update

booleanboolean

If the Item was not initialized with the investments product via the products, required_if_supported_products, or optional_products array when calling /link/token/create, and async_update is set to true, the initial Investments extraction will happen asynchronously. Plaid will subsequently fire a HISTORICAL_UPDATE webhook when the extraction completes. When false, Plaid will wait to return a response until extraction completion and no HISTORICAL_UPDATE webhook will fire. Note that while the extraction is happening asynchronously, calls to /investments/transactions/get and /investments/refresh will return PRODUCT_NOT_READY errors until the extraction completes.

Default: false

requiredstringrequired, string

The processor token obtained from the Plaid integration partner. Processor tokens are in the format: processor-<environment>-<identifier>

stringstring

Your Plaid API secret. The secret is required and may be provided either in the PLAID-SECRET header or as part of a request body.

start_date

requiredstringrequired, string

The earliest date for which data should be returned. Dates should be formatted as YYYY-MM-DD.

Format: date

end_date

Format: date

/processor/investments/transactions/get

const request: ProcessorInvestmentsTransactionsGetRequest = {
  processor_token: processorToken,
};
const response = plaidClient.processorInvestmentsTransactionsGet(request);

/processor/investments/transactions/get

Response fields

objectobject

A single account at a financial institution.

stringstring

Plaid’s unique identifier for the account. This value will not change unless Plaid can't reconcile the account with the data returned by the financial institution. This may occur, for example, when the name of the account changes. If this happens a new account_id will be assigned to the account.
The account_id can also change if the access_token is deleted and the same credentials that were used to generate that access_token are used to generate a new access_token on a later date. In that case, the new account_id will be different from the old account_id.
If an account with a specific account_id disappears instead of changing, the account is likely closed. Closed accounts are not returned by the Plaid API.
When using a CRA endpoint (an endpoint associated with Plaid Check Consumer Report, i.e. any endpoint beginning with /cra/), the account_id returned will not match the account_id returned by a non-CRA endpoint.
Like all Plaid identifiers, the account_id is case sensitive.

objectobject

A set of fields describing the balance for an account. Balance information may be cached unless the balance object was returned by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate (using a Balance-only ruleset).

nullablenumbernullable, number

The amount of funds available to be withdrawn from the account, as determined by the financial institution.
For credit-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the limit less the current balance, less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows.
For depository-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the current balance less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows. For depository-type accounts, the available balance does not include the overdraft limit.
For investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the available balance is the total cash available to withdraw as presented by the institution.
Note that not all institutions calculate the available balance. In the event that available balance is unavailable, Plaid will return an available balance value of null.
Available balance may be cached and is not guaranteed to be up-to-date in realtime unless the value was returned by /accounts/balance/get, or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset.
If current is null this field is guaranteed not to be null.

Format: double

nullablenumbernullable, number

The total amount of funds in or owed by the account.
For credit-type accounts, a positive balance indicates the amount owed; a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.
For loan-type accounts, the current balance is the principal remaining on the loan, except in the case of student loan accounts at Sallie Mae (ins_116944). For Sallie Mae student loans, the account's balance includes both principal and any outstanding interest. Similar to credit-type accounts, a positive balance is typically expected, while a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.
For investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the current balance is the total value of assets as presented by the institution.
Note that balance information may be cached unless the value was returned by /accounts/balance/get or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset; if the Item is enabled for Transactions, the balance will be at least as recent as the most recent Transaction update. If you require realtime balance information, use the available balance as provided by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate called with a Balance-only ruleset_key.
When returned by /accounts/balance/get, this field may be null. When this happens, available is guaranteed not to be null.

Format: double

nullablenumbernullable, number

For credit-type accounts, this represents the credit limit.
For depository-type accounts, this represents the pre-arranged overdraft limit, which is common for current (checking) accounts in Europe.
In North America, this field is typically only available for credit-type accounts.

Format: double

nullablestringnullable, string

The ISO-4217 currency code of the balance. Always null if unofficial_currency_code is non-null.

nullablestringnullable, string

The unofficial currency code associated with the balance. Always null if iso_currency_code is non-null. Unofficial currency codes are used for currencies that do not have official ISO currency codes, such as cryptocurrencies and the currencies of certain countries.
See the currency code schema for a full listing of supported unofficial_currency_codes.

nullablestringnullable, string

Timestamp in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ) indicating the last time the balance was updated.
This field is returned only when the institution is ins_128026 (Capital One).

Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_insights_pass: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources: the routing and account number match a routing and account number of an account recognized on the Plaid network, and the account is not known by Plaid to be frozen or closed. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_insights_pass_with_caution: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources and have some signal for being valid: the routing and account number were not recognized on the Plaid network, but the routing number is valid and the account number is a potential valid account number for that routing number. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_matched: (deprecated) The Item has successfully been verified using Plaid's data sources. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Match.
null or empty string: Neither micro-deposit-based verification nor database verification are being used for the Item.

stringstring

A unique and persistent identifier for accounts that can be used to trace multiple instances of the same account across different Items for depository accounts. This field is currently supported only for Items at institutions that use Tokenized Account Numbers (i.e., Chase and PNC, and in May 2025 US Bank). Because these accounts have a different account number each time they are linked, this field may be used instead of the account number to uniquely identify an account across multiple Items for payments use cases, helping to reduce duplicate Items or attempted fraud. In Sandbox, this field is populated for TAN-based institutions (ins_56, ins_13) as well as the OAuth Sandbox institution (ins_127287); in Production, it will only be populated for accounts at applicable institutions.

Evaluate a planned ACH transaction

Use /signal/evaluate to evaluate a planned ACH transaction to get a return risk assessment and additional risk signals.
/signal/evaluate is used with Rulesets that are configured on the end customer Dashboard can can be used with either the Signal Transaction Scores product or the Balance product. Which product is used will be determined by the ruleset_key that you provide. For more details, see Signal Rules.
Note: This request may have higher latency if Signal Transaction Scores is being added to an existing Item for the first time, or when using a Balance-only ruleset. This is because Plaid must communicate directly with the institution to request data.

Retrieve Liabilities data

The /processor/liabilities/get endpoint returns various details about a loan or credit account. Liabilities data is available primarily for US financial institutions, with some limited coverage of Canadian institutions. Currently supported account types are account type credit with account subtype credit card or paypal, and account type loan with account subtype student or mortgage.
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 /processor/liabilities/get.
Note: This request may take some time to complete if liabilities was not specified as an initial product when creating the processor token. This is because Plaid must communicate directly with the institution to retrieve the additional data.

/processor/liabilities/get

Request fields

stringstring

Your Plaid API client_id. The client_id is required and may be provided either in the PLAID-CLIENT-ID header or as part of a request body.

stringstring

Your Plaid API secret. The secret is required and may be provided either in the PLAID-SECRET header or as part of a request body.

requiredstringrequired, string

The processor token obtained from the Plaid integration partner. Processor tokens are in the format: processor-<environment>-<identifier>

/processor/liabilities/get

const request: ProcessorLiabilitiesGetRequest = {
  processor_token: processorToken,
};
const response = plaidClient.processorLiabilitiesGet(request);

/processor/liabilities/get

Response fields

objectobject

A single account at a financial institution.

stringstring

Plaid’s unique identifier for the account. This value will not change unless Plaid can't reconcile the account with the data returned by the financial institution. This may occur, for example, when the name of the account changes. If this happens a new account_id will be assigned to the account.
The account_id can also change if the access_token is deleted and the same credentials that were used to generate that access_token are used to generate a new access_token on a later date. In that case, the new account_id will be different from the old account_id.
If an account with a specific account_id disappears instead of changing, the account is likely closed. Closed accounts are not returned by the Plaid API.
When using a CRA endpoint (an endpoint associated with Plaid Check Consumer Report, i.e. any endpoint beginning with /cra/), the account_id returned will not match the account_id returned by a non-CRA endpoint.
Like all Plaid identifiers, the account_id is case sensitive.

objectobject

A set of fields describing the balance for an account. Balance information may be cached unless the balance object was returned by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate (using a Balance-only ruleset).

nullablenumbernullable, number

The amount of funds available to be withdrawn from the account, as determined by the financial institution.
For credit-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the limit less the current balance, less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows.
For depository-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the current balance less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows. For depository-type accounts, the available balance does not include the overdraft limit.
For investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the available balance is the total cash available to withdraw as presented by the institution.
Note that not all institutions calculate the available balance. In the event that available balance is unavailable, Plaid will return an available balance value of null.
Available balance may be cached and is not guaranteed to be up-to-date in realtime unless the value was returned by /accounts/balance/get, or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset.
If current is null this field is guaranteed not to be null.

Format: double

nullablenumbernullable, number

The total amount of funds in or owed by the account.
For credit-type accounts, a positive balance indicates the amount owed; a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.
For loan-type accounts, the current balance is the principal remaining on the loan, except in the case of student loan accounts at Sallie Mae (ins_116944). For Sallie Mae student loans, the account's balance includes both principal and any outstanding interest. Similar to credit-type accounts, a positive balance is typically expected, while a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.
For investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the current balance is the total value of assets as presented by the institution.
Note that balance information may be cached unless the value was returned by /accounts/balance/get or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset; if the Item is enabled for Transactions, the balance will be at least as recent as the most recent Transaction update. If you require realtime balance information, use the available balance as provided by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate called with a Balance-only ruleset_key.
When returned by /accounts/balance/get, this field may be null. When this happens, available is guaranteed not to be null.

Format: double

nullablenumbernullable, number

For credit-type accounts, this represents the credit limit.

pending_manual_verification: The Item is pending manual micro-deposit verification. Items remain in this state until the user successfully verifies the code.
automatically_verified: The Item has successfully been automatically verified.
manually_verified: The Item has successfully been manually verified.
verification_expired: Plaid was unable to automatically verify the deposit within 7 calendar days and will no longer attempt to validate the Item. Users may retry by submitting their information again through Link.
verification_failed: The Item failed manual micro-deposit verification because the user exhausted all 3 verification attempts. Users may retry by submitting their information again through Link.
unsent: The Item is pending micro-deposit verification, but Plaid has not yet sent the micro-deposit.
database_insights_pending: The Database Auth result is pending and will be available upon Auth request.
database_insights_fail: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources and have signal for being invalid and/or have no signal for being valid. Typically this indicates that the routing number is invalid, the account number does not match the account number format associated with the routing number, or the account has been reported as closed or frozen. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_insights_pass: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources: the routing and account number match a routing and account number of an account recognized on the Plaid network, and the account is not known by Plaid to be frozen or closed. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_insights_pass_with_caution: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources and have some signal for being valid: the routing and account number were not recognized on the Plaid network, but the routing number is valid and the account number is a potential valid account number for that routing number. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_matched: (deprecated) The Item has successfully been verified using Plaid's data sources. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Match.
null or empty string: Neither micro-deposit-based verification nor database verification are being used for the Item.

stringstring

A unique and persistent identifier for accounts that can be used to trace multiple instances of the same account across different Items for depository accounts. This field is currently supported only for Items at institutions that use Tokenized Account Numbers (i.e., Chase and PNC, and in May 2025 US Bank). Because these accounts have a different account number each time they are linked, this field may be used instead of the account number to uniquely identify an account across multiple Items for payments use cases, helping to reduce duplicate Items or attempted fraud. In Sandbox, this field is populated for TAN-based institutions (ins_56, ins_13) as well as the OAuth Sandbox institution (ins_127287); in Production, it will only be populated for accounts at applicable institutions.

Report whether you initiated an ACH transaction

After you call /processor/signal/evaluate, Plaid will normally infer the outcome from your Signal Rules. However, if you are not using Signal Rules, if the Signal Rules outcome was REVIEW, or if you take a different action than the one determined by the Signal Rules, you will need to call /processor/signal/decision/report. This helps improve Signal Transaction Score accuracy for your account and is necessary for proper functioning of the rule performance and rule tuning capabilities in the Dashboard. If your effective decision changes after calling /processor/signal/decision/report (for example, you indicated that you accepted a transaction, but later on, your payment processor rejected it, so it was never initiated), call /processor/signal/decision/report again for the transaction to correct Plaid's records.
If you are using Plaid Transfer as your payment processor, you also do not need to call /processor/signal/decision/report, as Plaid can infer outcomes from your Transfer activity.
If using a Balance-only ruleset, this endpoint will not impact scores (Balance does not use scores), but is necessary to view accurate transaction outcomes and tune rule logic in the Dashboard.

This endpoint allows you, the processor, to update the webhook URL associated with a processor token. This request triggers a WEBHOOK_UPDATE_ACKNOWLEDGED webhook to the newly specified webhook URL.

/processor/token/webhook/update

Request fields

stringstring

Your Plaid API client_id. The client_id is required and may be provided either in the PLAID-CLIENT-ID header or as part of a request body.

stringstring

Your Plaid API secret. The secret is required and may be provided either in the PLAID-SECRET header or as part of a request body.

requiredstringrequired, string

The processor token obtained from the Plaid integration partner. Processor tokens are in the format: processor-<environment>-<identifier>

webhook

requiredstringrequired, string

The new webhook URL to associate with the processor token. To remove a webhook from a processor token, set to null.

Format: url

/processor/token/webhook/update

try {
  const request: ProcessorTokenWebhookUpdateRequest = {
    processor_token: processorToken,
    webhook: webhook,
  };
  const response = await plaidClient.processorTokenWebhookUpdate(request);
} catch (error) {
  // handle error
}

/processor/token/webhook/update

Response fields

stringstring

A unique identifier for the request, which can be used for troubleshooting. This identifier, like all Plaid identifiers, is case sensitive.

Response Object

{
  "request_id": "vYK11LNTfRoAMbj"
}

Get incremental transaction updates on a processor token

The /processor/transactions/sync endpoint retrieves transactions associated with an Item and can fetch updates using a cursor to track which updates have already been seen.
For important instructions on integrating with /processor/transactions/sync, see the Transactions integration overview. If you are migrating from an existing integration using /processor/transactions/get, see the Transactions Sync migration guide.
This endpoint supports credit, depository, and some loan-type accounts (only those with account subtype student). For investments accounts, use /investments/transactions/get instead.
When retrieving paginated updates, track both the next_cursor from the latest response and the original cursor from the first call in which has_more was true; if a call to /processor/transactions/sync fails when retrieving a paginated update (e.g due to the TRANSACTIONS_SYNC_MUTATION_DURING_PAGINATION error), 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.
If transactions data is not yet available for the Item, which can happen if the Item was not initialized with transactions during the /link/token/create call or if /processor/transactions/sync was called within a few seconds of Item creation, /processor/transactions/sync will return empty transactions arrays.
Plaid typically checks for new transactions data between one and four times per day, depending on the institution. To find out when transactions were last updated for an Item, use the Item Debugger or call /item/get; the item.status.transactions.last_successful_update field will show the timestamp of the most recent successful update. To force Plaid to check for new transactions, use the /processor/transactions/refresh endpoint.
To be alerted when new transactions are available, listen for the SYNC_UPDATES_AVAILABLE webhook.
To receive Transactions webhooks for a processor token, set its webhook URL via the /processor/token/webhook/update endpoint.

/processor/transactions/sync

Request fields

stringstring

Your Plaid API client_id. The client_id is required and may be provided either in the PLAID-CLIENT-ID header or as part of a request body.

requiredstringrequired, string

The processor token obtained from the Plaid integration partner. Processor tokens are in the format: processor-<environment>-<identifier>

stringstring

Your Plaid API secret. The secret is required and may be provided either in the PLAID-SECRET header or as part of a request body.

cursor

stringstring

The cursor value represents the last update requested. Providing it will cause the response to only return changes after this update. If omitted, the entire history of updates will be returned, starting with the first-added transactions on the item. Note: The upper-bound length of this cursor is 256 characters of base64.

count

integerinteger

The number of transaction updates to fetch.

Default: 100

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 500

Exclusive min: false

include_original_description

objectobject

An optional object to be used with the request. If specified, options must not be null.

booleanboolean

Include the raw unparsed transaction description from the financial institution.

Default: false

personal_finance_category_version

stringstring

Indicates which version of the personal finance category taxonomy is being used. View PFCv2 and PFCv1 taxonomies.
If you enabled Transactions or Enrich before December 2025 you will receive the v1 taxonomy by default and may request v2 by explicitly setting this field to v2 in the request.
If you enabled Transactions or Enrich on or after December 2025, you may only receive the v2 taxonomy.
Existing customers in the EWA industry who were enabled for Transactions or Enrich on or before December 2025 must use the v2 taxonomy in order to receive the transactions accuracy improvements that were released in December 2025. All other customers will receive these improvements by default.

Possible values: v1, v2

days_requested

integerinteger

This field only applies to calls for Items where the Transactions product has not already been initialized (i.e., by specifying transactions in the products, required_if_supported_products, or optional_products array when calling /link/token/create or by making a previous call to /transactions/sync or /transactions/get). In those cases, the field controls the maximum number of days of transaction history that Plaid will request from the financial institution. The more transaction history is requested, the longer the historical update poll will take. If no value is specified, 90 days of history will be requested by default.
If you are initializing your Items with transactions during the /link/token/create call (e.g. by including transactions in the /link/token/create products array), you must use the transactions.days_requested field in the /link/token/create request instead of in the /transactions/sync request.
If the Item has already been initialized with the Transactions product, this field will have no effect. The maximum amount of transaction history to request on an Item cannot be updated if Transactions has already been added to the Item. To request older transaction history on an Item where Transactions has already been added, you must delete the Item via /item/remove and send the user through Link to create a new Item.
Customers using Recurring Transactions should request at least 180 days of history for optimal results.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 730

Default: 90

transactions_update_status

stringstring

If provided, the returned updates and cursor will only reflect the specified account's transactions. Omitting account_id returns updates for all accounts under the Item. Note that specifying an account_id effectively creates a separate incremental update stream—and therefore a separate cursor—for that account. If multiple accounts are queried this way, you will maintain multiple cursors, one per account_id.
If you decide to begin filtering by account_id after using no account_id, start fresh with a null cursor and maintain separate (account_id, cursor) pairs going forward. Do not reuse any previously saved cursors, as this can cause pagination errors or incomplete data.
Note: An error will be returned if a provided account_id is not associated with the Item.

/processor/transactions/sync

// Provide a cursor from your database if you've previously
// received one for the Item. Leave null if this is your
// first sync call for this Item. The first request will
// return a cursor.
let cursor = database.getLatestCursorOrNull(itemId);

// New transaction updates since "cursor"
let added: Array<Transaction> = [];
let modified: Array<Transaction> = [];
// Removed transaction ids
let removed: Array<RemovedTransaction> = [];
let hasMore = true;

// Iterate through each page of new transaction updates for item
while (hasMore) {
  const request: ProcessorTransactionsSyncRequest = {
    processor_token: processorToken,
    cursor: cursor,
  };
  const response = await client.processorTransactionsSync(request);
  const data = response.data;

  // Add this page of results
  added = added.concat(data.added);
  modified = modified.concat(data.modified);
  removed = removed.concat(data.removed);

  hasMore = data.has_more;

  // Update cursor to the next cursor
  cursor = data.next_cursor;
}

// Persist cursor and updated data
database.applyUpdates(itemId, added, modified, removed, cursor);

/processor/transactions/sync

Response fields

stringstring

A description of the update status for transaction pulls of an Item. This field contains the same information provided by transactions webhooks, and may be helpful for webhook troubleshooting or when recovering from missed webhooks.
TRANSACTIONS_UPDATE_STATUS_UNKNOWN: Unable to fetch transactions update status for Item. NOT_READY: The Item is pending transaction pull. INITIAL_UPDATE_COMPLETE: Initial pull for the Item is complete, historical pull is pending. HISTORICAL_UPDATE_COMPLETE: Both initial and historical pull for Item are complete.

Possible values: TRANSACTIONS_UPDATE_STATUS_UNKNOWN, NOT_READY, INITIAL_UPDATE_COMPLETE, HISTORICAL_UPDATE_COMPLETE

nullableobjectnullable, object

A single account at a financial institution.

stringstring

Plaid’s unique identifier for the account. This value will not change unless Plaid can't reconcile the account with the data returned by the financial institution. This may occur, for example, when the name of the account changes. If this happens a new account_id will be assigned to the account.
The account_id can also change if the access_token is deleted and the same credentials that were used to generate that access_token are used to generate a new access_token on a later date. In that case, the new account_id will be different from the old account_id.
If an account with a specific account_id disappears instead of changing, the account is likely closed. Closed accounts are not returned by the Plaid API.
When using a CRA endpoint (an endpoint associated with Plaid Check Consumer Report, i.e. any endpoint beginning with /cra/), the account_id returned will not match the account_id returned by a non-CRA endpoint.
Like all Plaid identifiers, the account_id is case sensitive.

objectobject

A set of fields describing the balance for an account. Balance information may be cached unless the balance object was returned by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate (using a Balance-only ruleset).

nullablenumbernullable, number

The amount of funds available to be withdrawn from the account, as determined by the financial institution.
For credit-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the limit less the current balance, less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows.
For depository-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the current balance less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows. For depository-type accounts, the available balance does not include the overdraft limit.
For investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the available balance is the total cash available to withdraw as presented by the institution.
Note that not all institutions calculate the available balance. In the event that available balance is unavailable, Plaid will return an available balance value of null.
Available balance may be cached and is not guaranteed to be up-to-date in realtime unless the value was returned by /accounts/balance/get, or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset.
If current is null this field is guaranteed not to be null.

Format: double

nullablenumbernullable, number

The total amount of funds in or owed by the account.
For credit-type accounts, a positive balance indicates the amount owed; a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.
For loan-type accounts, the current balance is the principal remaining on the loan, except in the case of student loan accounts at Sallie Mae (ins_116944). For Sallie Mae student loans, the account's balance includes both principal and any outstanding interest. Similar to credit-type accounts, a positive balance is typically expected, while a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.
For investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the current balance is the total value of assets as presented by the institution.
Note that balance information may be cached unless the value was returned by /accounts/balance/get or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset; if the Item is enabled for Transactions, the balance will be at least as recent as the most recent Transaction update. If you require realtime balance information, use the available balance as provided by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate called with a Balance-only ruleset_key.
When returned by /accounts/balance/get, this field may be null. When this happens, available is guaranteed not to be null.

Format: double

nullablenumbernullable, number

For credit-type accounts, this represents the credit limit.
For depository-type accounts, this represents the pre-arranged overdraft limit, which is common for current (checking) accounts in Europe.
In North America, this field is typically only available for credit-type accounts.

nullablestringnullable, string

The unofficial currency code associated with the balance. Always null if iso_currency_code is non-null. Unofficial currency codes are used for currencies that do not have official ISO currency codes, such as cryptocurrencies and the currencies of certain countries.
See the currency code schema for a full listing of supported unofficial_currency_codes.

nullablestringnullable, string

Timestamp in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ) indicating the last time the balance was updated.
This field is returned only when the institution is ins_128026 (Capital One).

Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_insights_pass: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources: the routing and account number match a routing and account number of an account recognized on the Plaid network, and the account is not known by Plaid to be frozen or closed. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_insights_pass_with_caution: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources and have some signal for being valid: the routing and account number were not recognized on the Plaid network, but the routing number is valid and the account number is a potential valid account number for that routing number. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_matched: (deprecated) The Item has successfully been verified using Plaid's data sources. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Match.
null or empty string: Neither micro-deposit-based verification nor database verification are being used for the Item.

stringstring

A unique and persistent identifier for accounts that can be used to trace multiple instances of the same account across different Items for depository accounts. This field is currently supported only for Items at institutions that use Tokenized Account Numbers (i.e., Chase and PNC, and in May 2025 US Bank). Because these accounts have a different account number each time they are linked, this field may be used instead of the account number to uniquely identify an account across multiple Items for payments use cases, helping to reduce duplicate Items or attempted fraud. In Sandbox, this field is populated for TAN-based institutions (ins_56, ins_13) as well as the OAuth Sandbox institution (ins_127287); in Production, it will only be populated for accounts at applicable institutions.

Format: date

authorized_datetime

nullablestringnullable, string

Date and time when a transaction was authorized in ISO 8601 format ( YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ ). For posted transactions, the datetime field will indicate the posted date, but authorized_datetime will indicate the day the transaction was authorized by the financial institution. If presenting transactions to the user in a UI, the authorized_datetime, when available, is generally preferable to use over the datetime field for posted transactions, as it will generally represent the date the user actually made the transaction.
This field is returned for select financial institutions and comes as provided by the institution. It may contain default time values (such as 00:00:00). This field is only populated in API version 2019-05-29 and later.

Get transaction data

The /processor/transactions/get endpoint allows developers to receive user-authorized transaction data for credit, depository, and some loan-type accounts (only those with account subtype student; coverage may be limited). 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 /processor/transactions/get. For more details, see Pending and posted transactions.
Due to the potentially large number of transactions associated with a processor token, results are paginated. Manipulate the count and offset parameters in conjunction with the total_transactions response body field to fetch all available transactions.
Data returned by /processor/transactions/get will be the data available for the processor token 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. To force Plaid to check for new transactions, you can use the /processor/transactions/refresh endpoint.
Note that data may not be immediately available to /processor/transactions/get. Plaid will begin to prepare transactions data upon Item link, if Link was initialized with transactions, or upon the first call to /processor/transactions/get, if it wasn't. If no transaction history is ready when /processor/transactions/get is called, it will return a PRODUCT_NOT_READY error.
To receive Transactions webhooks for a processor token, set its webhook URL via the /processor/token/webhook/update endpoint.

Response fields

objectobject

A single account at a financial institution.

stringstring

Plaid’s unique identifier for the account. This value will not change unless Plaid can't reconcile the account with the data returned by the financial institution. This may occur, for example, when the name of the account changes. If this happens a new account_id will be assigned to the account.
The account_id can also change if the access_token is deleted and the same credentials that were used to generate that access_token are used to generate a new access_token on a later date. In that case, the new account_id will be different from the old account_id.
If an account with a specific account_id disappears instead of changing, the account is likely closed. Closed accounts are not returned by the Plaid API.
When using a CRA endpoint (an endpoint associated with Plaid Check Consumer Report, i.e. any endpoint beginning with /cra/), the account_id returned will not match the account_id returned by a non-CRA endpoint.
Like all Plaid identifiers, the account_id is case sensitive.

objectobject

A set of fields describing the balance for an account. Balance information may be cached unless the balance object was returned by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate (using a Balance-only ruleset).

nullablenumbernullable, number

The amount of funds available to be withdrawn from the account, as determined by the financial institution.
For credit-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the limit less the current balance, less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows.
For depository-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the current balance less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows. For depository-type accounts, the available balance does not include the overdraft limit.
For investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the available balance is the total cash available to withdraw as presented by the institution.
Note that not all institutions calculate the available balance. In the event that available balance is unavailable, Plaid will return an available balance value of null.
Available balance may be cached and is not guaranteed to be up-to-date in realtime unless the value was returned by /accounts/balance/get, or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset.
If current is null this field is guaranteed not to be null.

Format: double

nullablenumbernullable, number

The total amount of funds in or owed by the account.
For credit-type accounts, a positive balance indicates the amount owed; a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.
For loan-type accounts, the current balance is the principal remaining on the loan, except in the case of student loan accounts at Sallie Mae (ins_116944). For Sallie Mae student loans, the account's balance includes both principal and any outstanding interest. Similar to credit-type accounts, a positive balance is typically expected, while a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.
For investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the current balance is the total value of assets as presented by the institution.
Note that balance information may be cached unless the value was returned by /accounts/balance/get or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset; if the Item is enabled for Transactions, the balance will be at least as recent as the most recent Transaction update. If you require realtime balance information, use the available balance as provided by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate called with a Balance-only ruleset_key.
When returned by /accounts/balance/get, this field may be null. When this happens, available is guaranteed not to be null.

Format: double

nullablenumbernullable, number

For credit-type accounts, this represents the credit limit.
For depository-type accounts, this represents the pre-arranged overdraft limit, which is common for current (checking) accounts in Europe.
In North America, this field is typically only available for credit-type accounts.

Format: double

nullablestringnullable, string

The ISO-4217 currency code of the balance. Always null if unofficial_currency_code is non-null.

nullablestringnullable, string

The unofficial currency code associated with the balance. Always null if iso_currency_code is non-null. Unofficial currency codes are used for currencies that do not have official ISO currency codes, such as cryptocurrencies and the currencies of certain countries.
See the currency code schema for a full listing of supported unofficial_currency_codes.

nullablestringnullable, string

Timestamp in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ) indicating the last time the balance was updated.
This field is returned only when the institution is ins_128026 (Capital One).

Format: date-time

pending_manual_verification: The Item is pending manual micro-deposit verification. Items remain in this state until the user successfully verifies the code.
automatically_verified: The Item has successfully been automatically verified.
manually_verified: The Item has successfully been manually verified.
verification_expired: Plaid was unable to automatically verify the deposit within 7 calendar days and will no longer attempt to validate the Item. Users may retry by submitting their information again through Link.

unsent: The Item is pending micro-deposit verification, but Plaid has not yet sent the micro-deposit.
database_insights_pending: The Database Auth result is pending and will be available upon Auth request.
database_insights_fail: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources and have signal for being invalid and/or have no signal for being valid.

Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_insights_pass: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources: the routing and account number match a routing and account number of an account recognized on the Plaid network, and the account is not known by Plaid to be frozen or closed. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_insights_pass_with_caution: The Item's numbers have been verified using Plaid's data sources and have some signal for being valid: the routing and account number were not recognized on the Plaid network, but the routing number is valid and the account number is a potential valid account number for that routing number. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Auth.
database_matched: (deprecated) The Item has successfully been verified using Plaid's data sources. Only returned for Auth Items created via Database Match.
null or empty string: Neither micro-deposit-based verification nor database verification are being used for the Item.

unknown: indicates that there was not enough information to determine whether the format is correct for the institution.

Possible values: valid, invalid, unknown

stringstring

A unique and persistent identifier for accounts that can be used to trace multiple instances of the same account across different Items for depository accounts. This field is currently supported only for Items at institutions that use Tokenized Account Numbers (i.e., Chase and PNC, and in May 2025 US Bank). Because these accounts have a different account number each time they are linked, this field may be used instead of the account number to uniquely identify an account across multiple Items for payments use cases, helping to reduce duplicate Items or attempted fraud. In Sandbox, this field is populated for TAN-based institutions (ins_56, ins_13) as well as the OAuth Sandbox institution (ins_127287); in Production, it will only be populated for accounts at applicable institutions.

nullablestringnullable, string

Indicates the account's categorization as either a personal or a business account. This field is currently in beta; to request access, contact your account manager.

Possible values: business, personal, unrecognized

Fetch recurring transaction streams

The /processor/transactions/recurring/get endpoint 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 product access request or contact your Plaid account manager.
This endpoint can only be called on a processor token that has already been initialized with Transactions (either during Link, by specifying it in /link/token/create; or after Link, by calling /processor/transactions/get or /processor/transactions/sync). Once all historical transactions have been fetched, call /processor/transactions/recurring/get to receive the Recurring Transactions streams and subscribe to the RECURRING_TRANSACTIONS_UPDATE webhook. To know when historical transactions have been fetched, if you are using /processor/transactions/sync listen for the SYNC_UPDATES_AVAILABLE webhook and check that the historical_update_complete field in the payload is true. If using /processor/transactions/get, listen for the HISTORICAL_UPDATE webhook.
After the initial call, you can call /processor/transactions/recurring/get endpoint at any point in the future to retrieve the latest summary of recurring streams. Listen to the RECURRING_TRANSACTIONS_UPDATE webhook to be notified when new updates are available.
To receive Transactions webhooks for a processor token, set its webhook URL via the /processor/token/webhook/update endpoint.

Refresh transaction data

/processor/transactions/refresh is an optional endpoint for users of the Transactions product. It initiates an on-demand extraction to fetch the newest transactions for a processor token. This on-demand extraction takes place in addition to the periodic extractions that automatically occur one or more times per day for any Transactions-enabled processor token. If changes to transactions are discovered after calling /processor/transactions/refresh, Plaid will fire a webhook: for /transactions/sync users, SYNC_UPDATES_AVAILABLE will be fired if there are any transactions updated, added, or removed. For users of both /processor/transactions/sync and /processor/transactions/get, TRANSACTIONS_REMOVED will be fired if any removed transactions are detected, and DEFAULT_UPDATE will be fired if any new transactions are detected. New transactions can be fetched by calling /processor/transactions/get or /processor/transactions/sync. Note that the /transactions/refresh endpoint is not supported for Capital One (ins_128026) non-depository accounts and will result in a PRODUCTS_NOT_SUPPORTED error if called on an Item that contains only non-depository accounts from that institution.
As this endpoint triggers a synchronous request for fresh data, latency may be higher than for other Plaid endpoints (typically less than 10 seconds, but occasionally up to 30 seconds or more); if you encounter errors, you may find it necessary to adjust your timeout period when making requests.
/processor/transactions/refresh is offered as an add-on to Transactions and has a separate fee model. To request access to this endpoint, submit a product access request or contact your Plaid account manager.

error

objectobject

Errors are identified by error_code and categorized by error_type. Use these in preference to HTTP status codes to identify and handle specific errors. HTTP status codes are set and provide the broadest categorization of errors: 4xx codes are for developer- or user-related errors, and 5xx codes are for Plaid-related errors, and the status will be 2xx in non-error cases. An Item with a non-null error object will only be part of an API response when calling /item/get to view Item status. Otherwise, error fields will be null if no error has occurred; if an error has occurred, an error code will be returned instead.

error_type

stringstring

A broad categorization of the error. Safe for programmatic use.

Possible values: INVALID_REQUEST, INVALID_RESULT, INVALID_INPUT, INSTITUTION_ERROR, RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED, API_ERROR, ITEM_ERROR, ASSET_REPORT_ERROR, RECAPTCHA_ERROR, OAUTH_ERROR, PAYMENT_ERROR, BANK_TRANSFER_ERROR, INCOME_VERIFICATION_ERROR, MICRODEPOSITS_ERROR, SANDBOX_ERROR, PARTNER_ERROR, SIGNAL_ERROR, TRANSACTIONS_ERROR, TRANSACTION_ERROR, TRANSFER_ERROR, CHECK_REPORT_ERROR, CONSUMER_REPORT_ERROR, USER_ERROR

error_code

stringstring

The particular error code. Safe for programmatic use.

error_code_reason

stringstring

The specific reason for the error code. Currently, reasons are only supported OAuth-based item errors; null will be returned otherwise. Safe for programmatic use.
Possible values: OAUTH_INVALID_TOKEN: The user’s OAuth connection to this institution has been invalidated.
OAUTH_CONSENT_EXPIRED: The user's access consent for this OAuth connection to this institution has expired.
OAUTH_USER_REVOKED: The user’s OAuth connection to this institution is invalid because the user revoked their connection.
