Example flows

​
Callback URL

Single redirect flow using the Yapily default redirect URL and a callback URL:

  1. Initiate the authorisation process Make a request to POST /account-auth-requests or POST /payment-auth-requests. Yapily will return an authorisationUrl. The status of the authorisation is AWAITING_AUTHORIZATION.
  2. Direct the end user to the authorisationUrl The end user is redirected to their bank to authenticate and authorise the consent request. The bank then redirects the end user to the redirect URL. In this case yapily.auth.com. The end user will then be redirected after a few milliseconds to the specified callback URL. During the redirect to Yapily, Yapily updates the consent object with the consentToken. This is returned directly to you in the callback. The status of the authorisation is AUTHORIZED.

​
Custom redirect URL

Single redirect flow using a custom redirect URL:

  1. Initiate the authorisation process Make a request to POST /account-auth-requests or POST /payment-auth-requests. Yapily will return an authorisationUrl. The status of the consent is AWAITING_AUTHORIZATION.
  2. Direct the end user to the authorisationUrl The end user is redirected to their bank to authenticate and authorise the consent request. The bank then redirects the end user to your custom redirect URL. The bank will also send an authorisation state and code to you.
  3. Forward the authorisation state and code to Yapily Make a request to POST /consent-auth-code. Yapily then exchanges this with the bank and returns the consentToken to you. The status of the consent is AUTHORIZED.

Single redirect flow using the Yapily default redirect URL and polling for consent:

If you are using the Yapily default redirect URL, we recommend using a callback URL to automatically receive the consentToken. However, you may wish to also poll for consent for additional validation.
  1. Initiate the authorisation process Make a request to POST /account-auth-requests or POST /payment-auth-requests. Yapily will return an authorisationUrl. The status of the consent is AWAITING_AUTHORIZATION.
  2. Direct the end user to the authorisationUrl The end user is redirected to their bank to authenticate and authorise the consent request. The bank then redirects the end user to the redirect URL. In this case, yapily.auth.com. During the redirect to Yapily, Yapily updates the consent object with the consentToken.
  3. Retrieve the consentToken and status Poll the result of GET Consent until the consent object is updated with the consentToken and the status of the consent transitions to AUTHORIZED.
