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. name: Payments - description: >+ The Notifications endpoints provide an interactive way for user to receive notifications according to different event-types. This feature is currently in private beta. Please reach out if you require access. name: Notifications - description: >- 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.
