Plaid financial data API for connecting bank accounts and retrieving balances, transactions, investment holdings, and liabilities. Users connect banks via Plaid Hosted Link — Plaid hosts the entire Link UI at secure.plaid.com, fires a SESSION_FINISHED webhook back to Lava, and each bank is stored as a distinct credential. Callers pick which bank to query on each request via the x-lava-plaid-item header. Best for personal finance, bookkeeping, and portfolio-tracking workflows that span multiple banks.
14 endpoints available through Lava’s AI Gateway. See the Plaid API docs for full documentation.
This provider requires your own credentials — connect your API key or OAuth account before use.
