Registration

The process of TPP registration is made via an API request to TPP Register endpoint. In order to access Provider Sandbox you need to use OBSEAL test certificate.

After adding a certificate, the registered TPP will have assigned a set of scopes based on the provided certificate.

I.e. AISP certificate will result in account, transactions, kyc scopes, while a PISP certificate will result in payments, funds_availability scopes. The available scopes can be seen when creating an TPP Application.

API Endpoints

The table below describes the list of all API endpoints available at Salt Edge PSD2 Compliance Solution. The endpoints are based on NextGenPSD2 Framework version 1.3.6. also known as BerlinGroup Standard. BerlinGroup endpoints are name-spaced after selected provider_code. Ex: for Xace, the endpoints will start with /xace_sandbox/api...

Endpoint	Verb	Purpose
/v1/accounts/:account_id/balances	GET	Reads account data from a given account addressed by account_id.
/v1/accounts	GET	Read the identifiers of the available payment account together with booking balance information, depending on the consent granted. It is assumed that a consent of the PSU to this access is already given and stored on the ASPSP system. The addressed list of accounts depends on the PSU ID and the stored consent addressed by consentId. Returns all identifiers of the accounts, to which an account access has been granted to through the /consents endpoint by the PSU. In addition, relevant information about the accounts and hyperlinks to corresponding account information resources are provided if a related consent has been already granted. Remark: Note that the /consents endpoint optionally offers to grant an access on all available payment accounts of a PSU. In this case, this endpoint will deliver the information about all available payment accounts of the PSU at this ASPSP.
/v1/accounts/refresh	POST	This endpoint is responsible for starting the process of refreshing account information data on Salt Edge PSD2 Compliance Solution side. Due to asynchronous nature of this action, TPP has to poll the status of this process using Accounts RefreshStatus endpoint.
/v1/accounts/refresh/status	GET	This endpoint is responsible for returning the current status of fetching account information process.
/v1/accounts/:account_id	GET	Reads details about an account, with balances where required. It is assumed that a consent of the PSU to this access is already given and stored on the ASPSP system. The addressed details of this account depends on the stored consent addressed by consentId.
/v1/accounts/:account_id/transactions/:transaction_id	GET	Reads transaction data from a given account and transaction addressed by account_id and transaction-id.
/v1/accounts/:account_id/transactions	GET	Read transaction reports or transaction lists of a given account addressed by account_id, depending on the steering parameter bookingStatus together with balances.
/v1/aspsps/product_templates	GET	Used by TPP for obtaining the list of payment products which support NextGenPSD2 standard.

/v1/consents/:consent_id	DELETE	This method deletes a consent.
/v1/consents/:consent_id	GET	Returns the content of an account information consent object. This returns the data for the TPP especially in cases, where the consent was directly managed between ASPSP and PSU e.g. in a redirect SCA Approach.

/v1/funds-confirmations	POST	Checks whether a specific amount is available at point of time of the request on an account addressed by IBAN or other available identifiers.

During any request or flow originating either on TPP or Salt Edge PSD2 Compliance side, a number of errors may appear. In order to standardize errors while still giving some degree of freedom in explaining an error callback, parameters should include both error_text and error_code. Error message serves the purpose of communicating the issue to the Customer, whereas error class should be used by TPPs in order to be able to handle various scenarios.

Contents of the error_code are entirely up to the Provider, they may even be localized. However, values sent within error_text parameter should be from the standardized list. This list may and will be extended over time.
