Implementation

Step 1: Copy and share your widget link

Find your link ID on the console

Start by accessing your widget link on the Console. Your Zing link takes care of everything from requesting and consent to access and user their data , authentication, credential verification and handling errors from all available providers.

Here's what the widget looks like

We’ve designed the link so it can be easily embedded into any part of your application. You can equally share share it directly with your users by sending them the URL, no additional work required.

Step 2: Listen for new connections via webhook

Once a user connects their account, Zing will send you a webhook event for ACCOUNT_CONNECTED within the first one to three minutes. The event will include the account_id for the connection as well as some basic details of the user who just made the connection. You can take the id and save it in your database.

​

Step 3: Fetch financial data

Now that you have the account_id, you can call any of the API endpoints to get data on your users. There is no expiry date for the account_id so as long as it is saved on your end, you can use it at anytime to fetch data that you want. However it is important to note that data you fetch is dependent on the data source or account your user has connected.
