Get Resource Docs.

Get documentation about the RESTful resources on this server including example bodies for POST and PUT requests.

This is the native data format used to document OBP endpoints. Each endpoint has a Resource Doc (a Scala case class) defined in the source code.

This endpoint is used by OBP API Explorer to display and work with the API documentation.

Most (but not all) fields are also available in swagger format. (The Swagger endpoint is built from Resource Docs.)

API_VERSION is the version you want documentation about e.g. v3.0.0

You may filter this endpoint with tags parameter e.g. ?tags=Account,Bank

You may filter this endpoint with functions parameter e.g. ?functions=enableDisableConsumers,getConnectorMetrics

For possible function values, see implemented_by.function in the JSON returned by this endpoint or the OBP source code or the footer of the API Explorer which produces a comma separated list of functions that reflect the server or filtering by API Explorer based on tags etc.

  • operation_id is concatenation of "v", version and function and should be unique (used for DOM element IDs etc. maybe used to link to source code)
  • version references the version that the API call is defined in.
  • function is the (scala) partial function that implements this endpoint. It is unique per version of the API.
  • request_url is empty for the root call, else the path.
  • summary is a short description inline with the swagger terminology.
  • description may contain html markup (generated from markdown on the server).
Typical Successful Response:

API_VERSION is the version you want documentation about e.g. v3.0.0

You may filter this endpoint using the 'tags' url parameter e.g. ?tags=Account,Bank

(All endpoints are given one or more tags which for used in grouping)

You may filter this endpoint using the 'functions' url parameter e.g. ?functions=enableDisableConsumers,getConnectorMetrics

(Each endpoint is implemented in the OBP Scala code by a 'function')

See the Resource Doc endpoint for more information.

Create Transaction Request (COUNTERPARTY)

Special instructions for COUNTERPARTY:

When using a COUNTERPARTY to create a Transaction Request, specificy the counterparty_id in the body of the request. The routing details of the counterparty will be forwarded for the transfer.

Initiate a Payment via creating a Transaction Request.

In OBP, a transaction request may or may not result in a transaction. However, a transaction only has one possible state: completed.

A Transaction Request can have one of several states.

Transactions are modeled on items in a bank statement that represent the movement of money.

Transaction Requests are requests to move money which may or may not succeeed and thus result in a Transaction.

A Transaction Request might create a security challenge that needs to be answered before the Transaction Request proceeds.

Transaction Requests contain charge information giving the client the opportunity to proceed or not (as long as the challenge level is appropriate).

Transaction Requests can have one of several Transaction Request Types which expect different bodies. The escaped body is returned in the details key of the GET response. This provides some commonality and one URL for many different payment or transfer types with enough flexibility to validate them differently.

The payer is set in the URL. Money comes out of the BANK_ID and ACCOUNT_ID specified in the URL.

In sandbox mode, TRANSACTION_REQUEST_TYPE is commonly set to SANDBOX_TAN. See getTransactionRequestTypesSupportedByBank for all supported types.

In sandbox mode, if the amount is less than 1000 EUR (any currency, unless it is set differently on this server), the transaction request will create a transaction without a challenge, else the Transaction Request will be set to INITIALISED and a challenge will need to be answered.

If a challenge is created you must answer it using Answer Transaction Request Challenge before the Transaction is created.

You can transfer between different currency accounts. (new in 2.0.0). The currency in body must match the sending account.

Transaction Requests satisfy PSD2 requirements thus:

1) A transaction can be initiated by a third party application.

2) The customer is informed of the charge that will incurred.

3) The call supports delegated authentication (OAuth)

See this python code for a complete example of this flow.

Create Transaction Request (SANDBOX_TAN)

When using SANDBOX_TAN, the payee is set in the request body.

Money goes into the BANK_ID and ACCOUNT_ID specified in the request body.

Initiate a Payment via creating a Transaction Request.

In OBP, a transaction request may or may not result in a transaction. However, a transaction only has one possible state: completed.

A Transaction Request can have one of several states.

Transactions are modeled on items in a bank statement that represent the movement of money.

Transaction Requests are requests to move money which may or may not succeeed and thus result in a Transaction.

A Transaction Request might create a security challenge that needs to be answered before the Transaction Request proceeds.

Transaction Requests contain charge information giving the client the opportunity to proceed or not (as long as the challenge level is appropriate).

Transaction Requests can have one of several Transaction Request Types which expect different bodies. The escaped body is returned in the details key of the GET response. This provides some commonality and one URL for many different payment or transfer types with enough flexibility to validate them differently.

The payer is set in the URL. Money comes out of the BANK_ID and ACCOUNT_ID specified in the URL.

In sandbox mode, TRANSACTION_REQUEST_TYPE is commonly set to SANDBOX_TAN. See getTransactionRequestTypesSupportedByBank for all supported types.

In sandbox mode, if the amount is less than 1000 EUR (any currency, unless it is set differently on this server), the transaction request will create a transaction without a challenge, else the Transaction Request will be set to INITIALISED and a challenge will need to be answered.

If a challenge is created you must answer it using Answer Transaction Request Challenge before the Transaction is created.

You can transfer between different currency accounts. (new in 2.0.0). The currency in body must match the sending account.

Transaction Requests satisfy PSD2 requirements thus:

1) A transaction can be initiated by a third party application.

2) The customer is informed of the charge that will incurred.

3) The call supports delegated authentication (OAuth)

See this python code for a complete example of this flow.

Authentication is Mandatory

Get Transaction Request Types for Account

Returns the Transation Request Types that the account specified by ACCOUNT_ID and view specified by VIEW_ID has access to.

These are the ways this API Server can create a Transaction via a Transaction Request (as opposed to Transaction Types which include external types too e.g. for Transactions created by core banking etc.)

A Transaction Request Type internally determines:

  • the required Transaction Request 'body' i.e. fields that define the 'what' and 'to' of a Transaction Request,
  • the type of security challenge that may be be raised before the Transaction Request proceeds, and
  • the threshold of that challenge.

For instance in a 'SANDBOX_TAN' Transaction Request, for amounts over 1000 currency units, the user must supply a positive integer to complete the Transaction Request and create a Transaction.

This approach aims to provide only one endpoint for initiating transactions, and one that handles challenges, whilst still allowing flexibility with the payload and internal logic.

Get Transaction Requests.

Returns transaction requests for account specified by ACCOUNT_ID at bank specified by BANK_ID.

The VIEW_ID specified must be 'owner' and the user must have access to this view.

Version 2.0.0 now returns charge information.

Transaction Requests serve to initiate transactions that may or may not proceed. They contain information including:

  • Transaction Request Id
  • Type
  • Status (INITIATED, COMPLETED)
  • Challenge (in order to confirm the request)
  • From Bank / Account
  • Details including Currency, Value, Description and other initiation information specific to each type. (Could potentialy include a list of future transactions.)
  • Related Transactions

PSD2 Context: PSD2 requires transparency of charges to the customer. This endpoint provides the charge that would be applied if the Transaction Request proceeds - and a record of that charge there after. The customer can proceed with the Transaction by answering the security challenge.
