Complete the following sections to use the Open Banking API as a Data Recipient.
1. Optionally, determine which Data Providers a Data Recipient is registered to
Get an access_token by passing your client credentials to the /Token endpoint. Then call the /Providers endpoint and pass the access_token. You'll receive a list of Data Providers who are registered to the Data Recipient.
This step is optional and is not required to authorize.
2. Authorize with a Data Provider
Initiate the authorization process with the Data Provider by calling the /Authorize endpoint.
If the request is successful and the customer provides consent, you'll receive a 302 response at the redirect_uri, an authorization code and the original state
If the request is not successful or the customer declines to provide consent, you'll receive an error, error_description, and the original state.

3. Exchange the authorization code for an access token
Call the /Token endpoint and use authorization_code as the grant_type.
If the request is successful, you'll receive an access token:
{
"access_token": "{access_token}",
"token_type": "Bearer",
"expires_in": 300,
"refresh_token": "{refresh_token}"
}
4. Start receiving your data
Use the access_token to call the Data Access endpoints
and start receiving your data.
For example, to get customer account data, call the /Accounts endpoint and pass the access_token:
5. Get a refresh token
When your access_token expires, call the /Token endpoint and use refresh_token as the grant_type. If the request is successful, you'll receive a new access_token.
