Quickstart Guide

Yapily helps developers adopt Open Banking solutions into their applications. We have APIs to gather account data and initiate account to account payments for an impressive number of banks participating in the Open Banking ecosystem.

Getting started with Yapily typically takes just a few minutes. After following these steps, you'll be ready to start your integration.

1. Sign-up (1 min)

2. Create an Application (1 min)

After creating an account, you'll need to generate a new application.

Go to Applications and click Create Application
Choose a name for your application and click Create application
Click Download Id & Secret to download the secret file containing the key (application-uuid) and secret (application-secret)

3. Configure Sandbox (2 mins)

In order to test your application you'll need to configure a sandbox in the Console. This allows you perform API requests against a Mock Bank:

Select your application
Go to Institutions and click Add Institutions
Search for modelo-sandbox (or change the filter Select environment to PRECONFIGURED_SANDBOX ) and click Add selected
Click Register to add modelo-sandbox to your application and select Yes, Preconfigured Credentials

4. Send your first API request (1 min)

Using Postman,
- Create a new basic HTTP request by selecting HTTP method as GET and entering request URL as https://api.yapily.com/institutions
- Go to Authorization tab and select Basic Auth from Type dropdown
- Enter the application's key and secret from the secret file you downloaded before (from Step 2) against Username and Password respectively to authenticate your requests to your application.
- Click Send to make your first API request to test your integration.
Using cURL,
- Execute the cURL command by directly applying the application's key and secret to test your integration (or)

curl -X GET 'https://api.yapily.com/institutions' -H 'Authorization: Basic {authToken}'
