Introduction

This API specification is intended for reference purposes only. New data partners should not use this guide to build their integration. Please refer to our latest API specification, Core Exchange, for the most up-to-date and supported integration approach compatible with the FDX standard. For more information, visit the Core Exchange docs.

The Plaid Exchange API specification facilitates building of the following endpoints:

/oauth2/auth: OAuth 2.0 Auth flow
/oauth2/token: OAuth 2.0 Token flow
/users/{user_id}: Retrieve account and identity information
/users/{user_id}/transactions: Retrieve transaction history

Data connectivity benefits

Plaid network

Once your Plaid Exchange API has successfully been validated by Plaid, your organization will appear in the list of available apps in Plaid Link. See the Plaid Link Demo for a visual walkthrough of an end-user's experience.

Security flow

Plaid uses your OAuth 2.0 flow to allow your users to connect their financial accounts to their other financial applications. Industry standards such as mTLS and PKCE are also supported in the current version.

Prospective customer support
