Data-Access Types

Onetime Account Access

The one-time account access is normally used by customers who want to verify or access certain information only once at one point in time.

In case of a one-time account account access, Qwist will store the financial data of an end user for 1 hour. During this time the customer can fetch the financial data from Qwist’s database as often as needed. After 1 hour Qwist will delete the financial data of the end user from its database.

Prerequisites

API Access & Authentication

The finX API is a restful API that is accessed using HTTP Basic Authentication with a Client ID as username and a Client Secret as password. Therefore each customer receives a Client ID and Client Secret from Qwist to access the finX API, which has a specific set of Scopes attached to it. Scopes define the usage rights of each Client ID on the finX platform.
