Integrating Plaid with Salesforce

Question

I am trying to integrate Plaid API with salesforce in a visualforce page and I have done all the procedures my only problem is that while the response is being returned there are no transactions in the response returned is there any particular parameter that I need to add for the transactions to appear in the response.

const request: TransactionsGetRequest = {
  client_id: client_id,
  secret: secret
  access_token: access_token
  start_date: '2018-01-01',
  end_date: '2020-02-01',
  options: {
    count: 250,
    offset: 0,
  }

Response Example

{
  "accounts": [
    {
      "account_id": "BxBXxLj1m4HMXBm9WZZmCWVbPjX16EHwv99vp",
      "balances": {
        "available": 110,
        "current": 110,
        "iso_currency_code": "USD",
        "limit": null,
        "unofficial_currency_code": null
      },
      "mask": "0000",
      "name": "Plaid Checking",
      "official_name": "Plaid Gold Standard 0% Interest Checking",
      "subtype": "checking",
      "type": "depository"
    }
  ],
  "transactions": [],
  "item": {
    "available_products": [
      "balance",
      "credit_details",
      "identity",
      "investments"
    ],
    "billed_products": ["assets", "auth", "liabilities", "transactions"],
    "consent_expiration_time": null,
    "error": null,
    "institution_id": "ins_3",
    "item_id": "eVBnVMp7zdTJLkRNr33Rs6zr7KNJqBFL9DrE6",
    "webhook": "https://www.genericwebhookurl.com/webhook"
  },
  "total_transactions": 0,
  "request_id": "45QSn"
}

This is the response containing the number of transactions still I don't get any transactions when I use API calls in salesforce.

Answer 1

Thank you for posting your query. I think the issue is just that the dates you're using for your test query are too old for the Sandbox test environment -- I don't think the Sandbox loads transaction data for that far in the past. Can you try with a set of dates from this year?

Edit: Or it could be a timing issue / transactions haven't loaded yet, which seems likely given that it works in Postman for you but not in Salesforce.
