This Framework wraps the figo Connect API endpoints in nicely typed Swift functions and types for your conveniece.
- We don't support Swift versions older than 3.0
- Supports iOS and macOS
Client reference: http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/Figo
The figo Connect API allows you to easily access your bank account including transaction history and submitting payments.
For a general introduction to figo and figo Connect please visit our main page.
Albeit figo offers an interface to submit wire transfers, payment processing is not our focus. Our main interest is bringing peoples bank accounts into applications allowing a more seamless and rich user experience.
API reference: http://docs.figo.io
Applications that would like to access the figo Connect have to register with us beforehand. If you would like to use figo Connect in your application, please email us. We would love to hear from you what you have in mind and will generate a client identifier and client secret for your application without any bureaucracy.

To add figo as a git submodule run the following command:
$ git submodule add https://github.com/figo-connect/ios-sdk.git
Integrate the framework into your project:
- Open the new folder and drag the Figo.xcodeproj into the Project Navigator of your application's Xcode project.
- Select the Figo.xcodeproj in the Project Navigator and verify the deployment target matches that of your application target.
- Add the Figo.framework to your target(s) in the 'Embedded Binaries' sections
To integrate figo into your Xcode project using CocoaPods , specify it in your Podfile:
pod 'Figo', :git => 'https://github.com/figo-connect/ios-sdk.git'
Run pod install to download and integrate figo.
To integrate figo into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:
github "figo-connect/ios-sdk" ~> 2.0
Run carthage update to build the framework. Then add the built Figo.framework to your target's 'Embedded Binaries' section under 'General'.
With test targets, you have to add a copy files phase to your test target where you copy the framework to the 'Frameworks' folder.
After creating an instance of FigoClient you can call functions on it representing the API endpoints. These functions will always return a FigoResult<T>, where T will a corresponding type like Account, [Account] or [Transaction].
To use the client you need a client ID and a secret, see Registering your application for details.
import Figo
let figo = FigoClient(clientID: "xyz", clientSecret: "123")
Browse the client reference to see all available funtions or take a look at the test cases to see more examples of interaction with the API.
To be able to login and use the figo API a user is required. (Except for the Supported banks and services endpoints which don't require to be logged in and therefore don't require a user.)
let params = CreateUserParameters(name: "name", email: "email", password: "password", sendNewsletter: false, language: "de", affiliateUser: nil, affiliateClientID: nil)
figo.createNewFigoUser(params) { result in
...
}
figo.loginWithUsername(username, password: password) { result in
self.refreshToken = result.value
...
}
The returned refresh token can be stored by the client for future logins, but only in a securely encryped store like the keychain or a SQLCipher database.
figo.loginWithRefreshToken(refreshToken) { result in
...
}
figo.retrieveAccounts() { result in
if let accounts = result.value {
for account in accounts {
...
}
}
}
figo.retrieveAccounts() { result in
switch result {
case .Success(let accounts):
print("Recieved \(accounts.count) accounts")
break
case .Failure(let error):
print(error.description)
break
}
}
For now we have a very simple logging solution. By default logging is disabled. If you want to enable logging, you can pass a logger instance to the FigoClient.
let figo = FigoClient(clientID: "xyz", clientSecret: "123", logger: ConsoleLogger())
The ConsoleLogger by default only logs debug and error events. If you want to see the request headers and responses, you can pass in the LogLevel parameter.
let logger = ConsoleLogger(levels: [.verbose, .debug, .error])
let figo = FigoClient(clientID: "xyz", clientSecret: "123", logger: logger)
If you want full control of what is logged or how, you can provide your own instance that conforms to the Logger protocol.
public protocol Logger {
var debug: (String) -> Void { get }
var verbose: (String) -> Void { get }
var error: (String) -> Void { get }
}
The central element of this API is the figo user, who owns bank accounts and grants selective access to them to other applications. This account can either be a free or a premium account. While both support the same set of features, the free account can only be used with the application through it got created, while a premium account can be used in all applications integrating figo.
createNewFigoUser(user: CreateUserParameters, _ completionHandler: (FigoResult<String>) -> Void)
retrieveCurrentUser(completionHandler: (FigoResult<User>) -> Void)
deleteCurrentUser(completionHandler: VoidCompletionHandler)
The figo API uses OAuth 2 for authentication purposes and you need a user to login.
loginWithUsername(username: String, password: String, _ completionHandler: (FigoResult<String>) -> Void)
loginWithRefreshToken(refreshToken: String, _ completionHandler: VoidCompletionHandler)
revokeAccessToken(completionHandler: VoidCompletionHandler)
revokeRefreshToken(refreshToken: String, _ completionHandler: VoidCompletionHandler)
Bank accounts are the central domain object of this API and the main anchor point for many of the other resources. This API does not only consider classical bank accounts as account, but also alternative banking services, e.g. credit cards or Paypal. The API does not distinguish between these two in most points.
retrieveAccounts(completionHandler: (FigoResult<[Account]>) -> Void)
retrieveAccount(accountID: String, _ completionHandler: (FigoResult<Account>) -> Void)
removeStoredPinFromBankContact(bankID: String, _ completionHandler: VoidCompletionHandler)
setupNewBankAccount(parameters: CreateAccountParameters, progressHandler: ProgressUpdate? = nil, _ completionHandler: VoidCompletionHandler)
Each bank account has a list of transactions associated with it. The length of this list depends on the bank and time this account has been setup. In general the information provided for each transaction should be roughly similar to the contents of the printed or online transaction statement available from the respective bank. Please note that not all banks provide the same level of detail.
retrieveTransactions(parameters: RetrieveTransactionsParameters = RetrieveTransactionsParameters(), _ completionHandler: (FigoResult<TransactionListEnvelope>) -> Void)
retrieveTransactionsForAccount(accountID: String, parameters: RetrieveTransactionsParameters = RetrieveTransactionsParameters(), _ completionHandler: (FigoResult<TransactionListEnvelope>) -> Void)
retrieveTransaction(transactionID: String, _ completionHandler: (FigoResult<Transaction>) -> Void)
As banks commonly do not provide a push mechanism for distributing transaction updates, they need to be polled, which is called synchronization in this API. When triggering a synchronization please make sure that either the PIN for the bank contact is stored inside figo or that the user has the possibility to enter it.
Usually the bank accounts are synchronized on a daily basis. However, the synchronization can be triggered manually.
synchronize(parameters parameters: CreateSyncTaskParameters = CreateSyncTaskParameters(), progressHandler: ProgressUpdate? = nil, pinHandler: PinResponder, completionHandler: VoidCompletionHandler)
To set up a new bank account in figo, you need to provide the right kind of credentials for each bank. These settings can be retrieved from the API aswell as a list of all supported banks and bank-like services.
You don't need to be logged in to use this group of endpoints.
retrieveSupportedBanks(countryCode: String? = nil, _ completionHandler: (FigoResult<[SupportedBank]>) -> Void)
retrieveSupportedServices(countryCode: String? = nil, _ completionHandler: (FigoResult<[SupportedService]>) -> Void)
retrieveLoginSettings(countryCode: String, bankCode: String, _ completionHandler: (FigoResult<LoginSettings>) -> Void)
In addition to retrieving information on a bank account, this API also provides the ability to submit wires in the name of the account owner.
Submitting a new payment generally is a two-phased process: 1. compile all information on the payment by creating and modifying a payment object 2. submitting that payment object to the bank.
While the first part is normal live interaction with this API, the second one uses the task processing system to allow for more time as bank servers are sometimes slow to respond. In addition you will need a TAN (Transaktionsnummer) from your bank to authenticate the submission.
retrievePaymentProposals(completionHandler: FigoResult<[PaymentProposal]> -> Void)
retrievePayments(completionHandler: FigoResult<[Payment]> -> Void)
retrievePaymentsForAccount(accountID: String, _ completionHandler: FigoResult<[Payment]> -> Void)
retrievePayment(paymentID: String, accountID: String, _ completionHandler: FigoResult<Payment> -> Void)
createPayment(parameters: CreatePaymentParameters, _ completionHandler: FigoResult<Payment> -> Void)
modifyPayment(payment: Payment, _ completionHandler: FigoResult<Payment> -> Void)
submitPayment(payment: Payment, tanSchemeID: String, pinHandler: PinResponder, challengeHandler: ChallengeResponder, _ completionHandler: VoidCompletionHandler)
Each depot account has a list of securities associated with it. In general the information provided for each security should be roughly similar to the contents of the printed or online depot listings available from the respective bank. Please note that not all banks provide the same level of detail.
retrieveSecurities(parameters: RetrieveSecuritiesParameters = RetrieveSecuritiesParameters(), _ completionHandler: (FigoResult<SecurityListEnvelope>) -> Void)
retrieveSecuritiesForAccount(accountID: String, parameters: RetrieveSecuritiesParameters = RetrieveSecuritiesParameters(), _ completionHandler: (FigoResult<SecurityListEnvelope>) -> Void)
retrieveSecurity(securityID: String, accountID: String, _ completionHandler: (FigoResult<Security>) -> Void)
Bank accounts can have standing orders associated with it if supported by the respective bank. In general the information provided for each standing order should be roughly similar to the content of the printed or online standing order statement available from the respective bank. Please note that not all banks provide the same level of detail.
retrieveStandingOrders(completionHandler: (FigoResult<[StandingOrder]>) -> Void)
retrieveStandingOrdersForAccount(accountID: String, _ completionHandler: (FigoResult<[StandingOrder]>) -> Void)
retrieveStandingOrder(standingOrderID: String, _ completionHandler: (FigoResult<StandingOrder>) -> Void)
