AccountInfo

The AccountInfo API endpoint is designed to provide a detailed overview of the bank accounts associated with a given ConsentCollectionId. This service provides input for calling LinX with PSD2 to retrieve data directly from the banks. The information returned by this API is useful for understanding the status, validity, and details of the consents provided by users, as well as the specific bank accounts linked to those consents.

Calling AccountInfo​

Please refer to the API reference for the AccountInfo service for all technical details on how to call this service.

Purpose and Usage​

The primary purpose of the AccountInfo API is to enable you to:

  • Retrieve Account Details: Obtain information about the bank accounts tied to a user's consent, including the bank name, account owner's name, and account type.
  • Monitor Consent Status: Check the status of user consents, such as whether they are still valid, expired, or have been revoked. This is essential for ensuring compliance with regulations and managing user data appropriately.
  • Historical Data Availability: Determine whether historical transaction data is available for the account, which is particularly useful when the consent allows for the retrieval of transaction history.
  • Manage Data Downloads: Keep track of the last time data was downloaded from the bank, ensuring that your system has the most recent information available.

Input Parameters:​

  • ConsentCollectionId (required): A unique identifier (ConsentCollectionId) used to retrieve the relevant account information. This ID represents the set of consents granted by the user for accessing their bank accounts.
  • ApiKey (required): A secure API key to authenticate the request.
  • X-Request-ID (required): A unique request identifier used for tracking API calls.
