About

The Open Bank Project API is a RESTful API for banks that supports multiple views on transaction data, data enrichment and data blurring.

The protocol consists of baseline and optional end points. For baseline compliance, all the baseline URLs must be implemented. For full compliance, all the baseline and optional end points must be implemented.

  • All calls should be prefixed with /obp/v1.2

  • The OBP API returns JSON as specified here and validated here.

  • Parameters within the URL are written in CAPITAL_LETTERS.

  • In some calls you will see the mention "OAuth authentication is required", that means that to access to the protected resource, the OAuth header is required with all the parameters like oauth_token, oauth_nonce, etc. (See here for more details).

  • If information is not available (whether missing or blocked by access control), its value will be null. This applies to normal values (Strings, Numbers, etc.) and to Arrays/Objects.

Example:

{
    "info" : "Some info",
    "info2" : {
        "info3" : "Some more info"
    }
}

could be returned as:

{
    "info" : null,
    "info2" : null
}

Implementation hints and notes.

The implementation of V1.2 is work in progress

The views

Views on accounts and transactions filter the underlying data to hide or blur certain fields from certain users. For instance the balance on an account may be hidden from the public or replaced by + or -.

data: When a view moderates a set of data, some fields my contain the value null rather than the original value. This indicates either that the user is not allowed to see the original data or the field is empty.

There are currently two exceptions to this rule:

  1. The "holder" field in the JSon contains a value which is either an alias or the real name - indicated by the "is_alias" field.

  2. The "balance" field (in a transaction or account details) may contain the real amount, a plus sign (+), a minus sign (-) or "unauthorized".

action: When a user performs an action like trying to post a comment (with POST API call), if he is not allowed, the repose will be an "unauthorized" HTTP code 401.

Metadata: Transaction metadata like (images, tags, comments, etc.) will appears ONLY on the view where they have been created e.g. comments posted to the public view only appear on the public view.

The other account metadata fields like image_URL, more_info, etc are unique through all the views. Example, if a user edit the "more_info" field in the "team" view, then the view "authorities" will show the new value (if it is allowed to do it). Except the two Geo tags corporate_location and physical_location which have the same behavior as the transaction metadata.
