Fetch account and routing numbers from a Plaid-linked institution using /auth/get

domain: plaid.com · 6 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Ensure the Item was created with 'auth' in the products list at /link/token/create time; calling /auth/get on an Item without auth enabled returns a PRODUCT_NOT_READY or PRODUCTS_NOT_SUPPORTED error
  2. POST to /auth/get with client_id, secret, and access_token; optionally include options.account_ids to fetch only specific accounts
  3. The response contains an accounts array and a numbers object; the numbers object has sub-objects for each routing number format: ach (routing + account), eft (for Canadian items), international, and bacs
  4. For US ACH use cases, read numbers.ach[].routing and numbers.ach[].account for the account's ABA routing number and full account number
  5. Match each entry in numbers.ach to the corresponding account via the account_id field present in both the accounts array and the numbers.ach entries
  6. Use the retrieved routing and account numbers to originate ACH debits or credits through your bank or ACH processor
