# BankConnect: JavaScript

The JavaScript SDK helps user submit their bank statements via upload or net banking credentials in your Web applications. The SDK will be opened via a web URL.

The first step in integration involves calling the Session API Then the workflow can be implemented in one of the following ways:

# Session API

To start with the integration, call the following API to create a session:

Endpoint

POST https://apis.bankconnect.finbox.in/bank-connect/v1/session/

# Parameters

Name Type Description Required Default
link_id string link_id value Yes -
api_key string API key provided by FinBox Yes -
redirect_url string URL to redirect to incase of success or failure Yes for Redirect Workflow -
from_date string Start date range to fetch statements. Should be of format DD/MM/YYYY No Last 6 month start date
to_date string End date range to fetch statements. Should be of format DD/MM/YYYY No Yesterday
logo_url string An optional parameter to show logo branding in bankconnect SDK. Should be a URL. No -
bank_name string pass the bank identifier to skip the bank selection screen and directly open a that bank's screen instead No -
mode string optional parameter to set the mode(i.e. pdf, aa, and online) No -
mobile_number string Prefills phone number in Account Aggregator mode No -
journey_mode string Optional parameter to set the journey (i.e.multi_pdf or multi_banking) No -
aa_journey_mode string set the journey mode for AA (i.e only_once or only_recurring) No -
aa_recurring_tenure_month_count integer set the recurring consent duration (min: 1 and max: 24) No -
aa_recurring_frequency_unit string set the frequency unit to pull the data during the recurring consent duration (year, month, day, hour) No -
aa_recurring_frequency_value integer set the frequency value to pull the data during the recurring consent duration (min: 1 and max: 3) No -

from_date and to_date specify the period for which the statements will be fetched. For example, if you need the last 6 months of statements, from_date will be today's date - 6 months and to_date will be today's date - 1 day. If not provided the default date range is 6 months from the current date. It should be in DD/MM/YYYY format.

Note: If the to-date lies in the first week of the month, the respective month is not considered in the journey.

NOTE

  • redirect_url in request is a compulsory field in Redirect Workflow but is not required with the Inline Frame workflow
  • Please make sure from_date is always less than to_date
  • Make sure to_date is never today's date, the maximum possible value for it is today's date - 1 day

# Response

On successful API call, it gives a 200 HTTP code with a response in following format:

{
  "redirect_url": "https://bankconnectclient.finbox.in/?session_id=127d12db1d71bd182b"
}

Use redirect_url to open up the BankConnect SDK. This URL can be used embedded inside an <iframe> or can be opened in a new tab or current window.

# Redirect Workflow

JavaScript SDK Redirect Workflow

The flow for this involves following steps:

  • Create a session using Session API
  • Get the URL received from above API and open it in a new tab
  • On success / exit, SDK will redirect to the specified redirect URL with parameters as follows:
    • Exit: {url}?success=false
    • Success: {url}?success=true&entity_id=<some-entity-id>
    • Success: {url}?success=true&session_id=<some-session-id> (For Session Flow)

NOTE

Since there is no callback received on this flow, it is recommended to configure Webhook

# Inline Frame Workflow

JavaScript SDK iframe Workflow

The flow for this involves the following steps:

  • Create a session using Session API
  • Get the URL received from above API and embed it in an <iframe>
  • You'll receive callbacks by implementing an event listener. Based on the event you can close / hide the inline frame.

# Receive callbacks

  1. To receive callbacks in <iframe> workflow, you need to implement an event listener. It can be implemented as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
  <script>
    window.addEventListener('message', function (event) {
      console.log("Event -> ", event)
    });
  </script>
  <iframe src="<url-from-create-session>" width="500px" height="700px"></iframe>
</body>Ï
</html>
  1. To receive callbacks in Android WebView, a Javascript Interface (opens new window) can be used to get the events.
  • Interface Name: BankConnectAndroid
  • Callback Functions
    • All Events: onResult
    • Error: onError
    • Exit: onExit
    • Success: onSuccess
    • Extra Info: onInfo

# Event Object

The event object received by the listener can be one of the following:

# Success

This is received when user completes the upload process.

  1. Iframe
{
  type: "finbox-bankconnect",
  status: "success",
  payload: {
    "linkId": "<USER_ID_PASSED>" //Link ID is the identifier that was passed while initializing the SDK
    "entityId": "1d1f-sfdrf-17hf-asda", //Unique ID that will used to fetch statement data
    "sessionId": "8a7a-jidaj-22aa-asla", //Unique ID that will used to fetch statement data for session flow
  }
}
  1. WebView

BankConnectAndroid.onSuccess

  {
    "linkId": "<USER_ID_PASSED>" //Link ID is the identifier that was passed while initializing the SDK
    "entityId": "1d1f-sfdrf-17hf-asda", //Unique ID that will used to fetch statement data
    "sessionId": "8a7a-jidaj-22aa-asla", //Unique ID that will used to fetch statement data for session flow
  }

# Exit

This is received when user exits the SDK.

  1. Iframe
{
  type: "finbox-bankconnect",
  status: "exit",
  payload: {
      "linkId": "<USER_ID_PASSED>", //Link ID is the identifier that was passed while initializing the SDK
      "message": "<exit message>"
  }
}
  1. WebView BankConnectAndroid.onExit
{
    "linkId": "<USER_ID_PASSED>", //Link ID is the identifier that was passed while initializing the SDK
    "message": "<exit message>"
}

# Error

This is received whenever any error occurs in the user flow.

  1. Iframe
{
  type: "finbox-bankconnect",
  status: "error",
  payload: {
      "reason": "Reason for failure",
      "linkId": "<USER_ID_PASSED>", //Link ID is the identifier that was passed while initializing the SDK
      "error_type": "MUXXX",//MUXXX for Manual Upload and NBXXX for Net Banking
  }
}
  1. WebView BankConnectAndroid.onError
{
  "reason": "Reason for failure",
  "linkId": "<USER_ID_PASSED>", //Link ID is the identifier that was passed while initializing the SDK
  "error_type": "MUXXX",//MUXXX for Manual Upload and NBXXX for Net Banking
}

Two Events

In case an error occurs, you'll receive OnError event payload, and then if the user exits the SDK, you'll receive another event payload, this time for OnExit.

# Error types

In case of Error, error_type of MUXXX implies an error in Manual PDF Upload and NBXXX implies its from Netbanking.

Case error_type Sample payload
