The module supports all Plaid API endpoints.

GoDoc:

Getting Started

Calling Endpoints

To call an endpoint you must create a Client object.

import (
    "net/http"
    "os"

    "github.com/plaid/plaid-go/plaid"
)

clientOptions := plaid.ClientOptions{
    os.Getenv("PLAID_CLIENT_ID"),
    os.Getenv("PLAID_SECRET"),
    plaid.Sandbox, // Available environments are Sandbox, Development, and Production
    &http.Client{}, // This parameter is optional
}
client, err := plaid.NewClient(clientOptions)

Each endpoint returns an object which contains the parsed JSON from the HTTP response.

Errors

All non-200 responses will return a plaid.Error instance.

For more information on Plaid response codes, head to the docs.

Developing

1. Download this repo into your Go source directory
2. Run make setup pull down all dependencies etc

Tests

To run the tests you'll need to sign up for a Sandbox account on https://plaid.com as they perform real API requests.

Once you have these you can run make test, passing your Sandbox credentials as environment variables:

PLAID_CLIENT_ID=aabbcc PLAID_PUBLIC_KEY=ddeeff PLAID_SECRET=ffeedd make test
