Sync Plaid transactions incrementally using /transactions/sync and cursor-based pagination

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

Verified steps

  1. Call /transactions/sync with client_id, secret, and access_token for the first sync; omit the cursor parameter on the initial call
  2. The response contains added, modified, and removed transaction arrays plus a next_cursor string and a has_more boolean
  3. If has_more is true, call /transactions/sync again with cursor=next_cursor to fetch the next page; repeat until has_more is false
  4. Persist the final next_cursor value; on subsequent sync calls pass this cursor to receive only changes since the previous sync
  5. Apply the added and modified arrays to your database and delete records referenced in the removed array using their transaction_id
  6. Drive incremental syncs by handling the SYNC_UPDATES_AVAILABLE webhook (webhook_type='TRANSACTIONS', webhook_code='SYNC_UPDATES_AVAILABLE'); on receipt, call /transactions/sync with the stored cursor
