Overview of Plaid#

The Plaid API offers a multitude of financial data operations, enabling developers to manage and interact with user bank accounts, transactions, identity info, and more, all within a secure and compliant ecosystem. Integrating Plaid with Pipedream can unlock powerful automations, like syncing transaction data to accounting software, verifying user identities for KYC compliance, and automating financial alerts or reporting.

Connect Plaid#

module.exports = defineComponent({
  props: {
    plaid: {
      type: "app",
      app: "plaid",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const { Configuration, PlaidApi } = require('plaid');
    
    const client = new PlaidApi(
      new Configuration({
        basePath: this.plaid.$auth.environment,
        baseOptions: {
          headers: {
            'PLAID-CLIENT-ID': this.plaid.$auth.client_id,
            'PLAID-SECRET': this.plaid.$auth.client_secret,
          },
        },
      })
    );
    
    // Test request
    const request = {
      count: 10,
      offset: 0,
      country_codes: ['US'],
    };
    
    const response = await client.institutionsGet(request);
    return response.data.institutions;
  },
})

Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})
