Endpoints

    GET

    Get Identity

    Returns account owner information from the institution, including names, emails, phone numbers, and addresses, for all permissioned accounts associated with a link.

    Some fields may be empty, if not provided by the institution.

    Note that this endpoint does not trigger a fetch of owner information from the institution; it merely returns owner information that has already been fetched, either because prefetch was requested when the link was created, or because of an on-demand update. To force a check for new/updated owner information, you must use the /products endpoint.

    If you have requested prefetch or an on-demand update, you should check the refreshed_at date for this product in the returned response, and compare that against the previous refreshed_at date, which you can get from any previous response for this or any other account or link request. If the refreshed_at date has not increased, then updated data is not yet available.
