Create Connections via Rest-API

Feature Request

I am developing a finance app (for personal use at the moment). I used to access all the PSD2 provided data (accounts, transactions, etc.) by GoCardless directly but this is not possible anymore. I integrated a bank browser in my app where the user can select a bank out of all available banks, enter credentials, approve mfa and select the actual accounts the user has at a certain bank.

What I would like to have is:

  1. An Endpoint where I can request all available Banks (like in creating a new Connection in Dashboard). In best case with query parameters for EU or even city, so I don’t have to download everything.

  2. An Endpoint where I can create a Connection for a selected Bank programatically.

  3. A Link for approve (maybe as result of Connection creation?).

  4. An Endpoint to check if approval is done.

This would be really nice but I can work without it, so I just want to share my thoughts :)

    Hey @Patrick ,

    Thank you very much for the feedback! And that does make sense.

    As you can imagine, handling the nuances of all the underlying bank provider flows for setting up the connections will take a lot of effort, so I wanted to start with the read-only API for now. Perhaps your users can connect their bank accounts to LF and then share them with your app in the meantime? I’m very open to ideas on how to streamline that flow as well 😀

    Keep the feedback coming 😀
