    The Yapily API enables connections between your application and users'
    banks. For more information check out our [documentation](/introduction).


    In particular, make sure to view our [Getting
    Started](/getting-started/get-started) steps if this is your first time
    here.


    While testing the API, our list of [sandbox
    credentials](/resources/sandbox/sandbox-credentials) maybe useful.

      The `Application` is the base entity that is used to interact with the API
      and contains a collection of `Institution` objects. You can have multiple
      Applications associated with your account e.g. a production application
      with live access to each `Institution` and a development application with
      access to sandboxes.
    name: Application
  - description: >-
      The Users endpoints are used to manage each user (otherwise known as the
      PSU) in Yapily. Each user belongs to an Application and as a consequence,
      so do each `Consent` created for a particular `User`.
    name: Users
  - description: >-
      An `Institution` object represents any Account Serving Payment Servicing
      Provider (ASPSP) that has been integrated and is accessible through the
      Yapily APIs (ASPSPs are entities that publish Read/Write APIs to permit,
      with customer consent, payments initiated by third party providers and/or
      make their customers financial data available to third party providers via
      their API endpoints).


      Any one of the following would be represented as Institution:


      - Traditional banks e.g. Santander

      - Neo-banks e.g. Monzo

      - Building societies e.g. Cumberland Building Society
    name: Institutions
  - description: >-
      The Consents endpoints are used to manage each `Consent` created by Yapily
      in response to an authorisation created for a user.


      The `Consent` object contains data that identifies a user's consent for a
      specific `Institution` within a Yapily application. Other than the id of
      the consent, the `institution-id` for the corresponding `Institution` and
      the user identifiers (`user-uuid` and `application-user-id`), it contains
      various details that indicates how the `Consent` can be used.
    name: Consents
  - description: >-
      Before calling [Financial Data](#yapily-api-financial-data) or
      [Payments](#yapily-api-payments) endpoints, a consent from an end-user
      must be obtained.


      Consents are valid for up to 90 days for Financial Data endpoints and have
      a single-use for Payment endpoints i.e. a new consent must be obtained for
      each payment.


      NOTE: A user consent is also referred to as an 'Authorisation'.
    name: Authorisations
  - description: >-
      In order to access a user's Financial Data, you are required to request an
      [Authorisation](#tag/Authorisations) from the user to share the account
      information the bank has. Once a `consent-token` is obtained, you can call
      the necessary Financial Data endpoint(s) to retrieve the user's data.
    name: Financial Data
  - description: >-
      In order to make a Payment on behalf of a user, you are required to
      request an [Authorisation](#tag/Authorisations) from the user to authorise
      the user's account to make the payment from. Once a `consent-token` is
      obtained, you can call the necessary Payments endpoint(s) to execute a
      payment.

      The Notifications endpoints provide an interactive way for user to receive
      notifications according to different event-types. This feature is

      Variable Recurring Payments enables transfer of money between accounts
      held by the same person or transfer of money for business payments. 


      In order to make Sweeping Variable Recurring Payments on behalf of a user,
      you are required to request an [Consent](#tag/Authorisations) from the
      user by calling the Sweeping Consent endpoint to authorise the user's
      account to make the payment. Once a `consent-token` is obtained, you can
      call the Payments endpoint to execute the Sweeping Variable Recurring
      Payments transaction. Before executing the payment, you have the option to
      confirm availability of funds in the user's account by calling the Funds
      Confirmation endpoint.

      information.
