Moneyhub API Client

Introduction

This is an Node.JS client for the Moneyhub API. It currently supports the following features:

  • Getting the list of supported banks
  • Registering users
  • Deleting users
  • Generating authorisation urls for new and existing users
  • Getting access tokens and refresh tokens from an authorisation code
  • Refreshing access tokens
  • Deleting user connections
  • Getting access tokens with client credentials
  • CRUD actions for accounts
  • CRUD actions for transactions
  • Generate authorisation url for payments
  • Add Payees
  • Get Payees and payments
  • Get categories
  • CRUD actions on projects
  • CRUD actions on transaction attachments
  • CRUD actions on transaction splits
  • Get a tax return for a subset of transactions
  • Get the regular transactions on an account
  • Get beneficiaries

Currently this library supports client_secret_basic, client_secret_jwt and private_key_jwt authentication.

Upgrading from 3.x

The breaking changes when upgrading are outlined below:

  • Normalisation of all methods to use object destructuring to pass parameters. Please refer to the docs of each method when migrating to this version

  • Delete methods only return the status code when succesful

  • All methods to retrieve data return the body response as json, on previous versions some methods were returning the full response from the got library.

  • When our API response code is not 2xx an HTTP error is thrown. Includes a response property with more information.

  • Removal of all the methods with the suffix WithToken. To migrate to this version you can use the method with the same name but without the suffix. e.g getUserConnectionsWithToken() => getUserConnections()

For the full list of changes please refer to the changelog

Upgrading from 4.x

The major upgrade from version 4.x is that the library now caters for TypeScript. To allow for this, the factory method that creates the client instance is now a named export rather than a default export.

// v4.x
const Moneyhub = require("@mft/moneyhub-api-client")

// v5.x
const {Moneyhub} = require("@mft/moneyhub-api-client")

Changelog

Learn about the latest improvements and breaking changes.

Prerequisites

To use this API client you will need:

To install

npm install @mft/moneyhub-api-client

Usage

This module exposes a single factory function that accepts the following configuration:

const {Moneyhub} = require("@mft/moneyhub-api-client")
const moneyhub = await Moneyhub({
  resourceServerUrl: "https://api.moneyhub.co.uk/v2.0",
  identityServiceUrl: "https://identity.moneyhub.co.uk",
  options: { // optional
    timeout: 60000
  }
  client: {
    client_id: "your client id",
    client_secret: "your client secret",
    token_endpoint_auth_method: "client_secret_basic",
    id_token_signed_response_alg: "RS256",
    request_object_signing_alg: "none",
    redirect_uri: "https://your-redirect-uri",
    response_type: "code",
    keys: [
      /* your jwks */
    ],
  },
})

When making calls to our methods that require authentication, you can provide an extra argument at the end of these methods. This argument must be an object with these optional keys:

{
  token: "full.access.token" // if specified will be added to authorisation header of request
  headers: {
    Authorization: "Bearer full.access.token" // can be used to specify authorisation header or additional headers
  }
}

Once the api client has been initialised it provides a simple promise based interface with the following methods:

Auth API

The options below can be set on the following URL generating methods:

  • getAuthorizeUrl
  • getAuthorizeUrlForCreatedUser
  • getReauthAuthorizeUrlForCreatedUser
  • getRefreshAuthorizeUrlForCreatedUser

The expirationDateTime and transactionFromDateTime options can be set according to the AIS Consents documentation

Set enableAsync to true if you wish to make an AIS connection that won't wait for accounts and transactions to be fetched.

Note: all methods generate an authorise URL using the Pushed Authorisation Request (PAR) method, see here for more details.

getAuthorizeUrl

This method returns an authorize url for your API client. You can redirect a user to this url, after which they will be redirected back to your redirect_uri.

Financial institutions

      value: userId, // userId provided
    },
    "mh:con_id": {
      essential: true,
    },
  },
};

getReauthAuthorizeUrlForCreatedUser

      value: connectionId, // connectionId provided
    },
  },
};

getReconsentAuthorizeUrlForCreatedUser

This is a helper function that returns a url for a specific user to reconsent an existing connection. This function uses the scope openid reconsent. The expiresAt date cannot be set to more than 90 days in the future. If expiresAt is not provided it will default to a date 90 days in the future. Please note - this method should only be used for connections that have tppConsent set as true.

const url = await moneyhub.getReconsentAuthorizeUrlForCreatedUser({
        userId: "user id",
        connectionId: "connection ID to reconsent",
        state: "your state value", // optional

      },
    },
  },
};

getRefreshAuthorizeUrlForCreatedUser

getAuthorizeUrlLegacy

This method returns an authorize url for your API client using the legacy method (where a request object is generated and passed in as the request query parameter). You can redirect a user to this url, after which they will be redirected back to your redirect_uri. It has the same method signature as getAuthorizeUrl

const url = await moneyhub.getAuthorizeUrlLegacy({
  scope: "openid bank-id-scope other-data-scopes",
  state: " your state value", // optional
  nonce: "your nonce value", //optional
  claims: claimsObject, // optional
  permissions: ["ReadBeneficiariesDetail"], // optional - set of extra permissions to set for auth URL

  state: "your state value", // optional
  nonce: "your nonce value", // optional
  claims: claimsObject, // optional
  enableAsync: false, // optional
});

// Default claims if none are provided
const defaultClaims = {
  id_token: {
    sub: {
      essential: true,
      value: userId, // userId provided
    },
    "mh:con_id": {
      essential: true,
      value: connectionId, // connectionId provided
    },
  },
};

exchangeCodeForTokensLegacy

This is a legacy method to get tokens for a user. After a user has succesfully authorised they will be redirected to your redirect_uri with an authorization code. You can use this to retrieve access, refresh and id tokens for the user.

const tokens = await moneyhub.exchangeCodeForTokens({
  code: "the authorization code",
  nonce: "your nonce value", // optional
  state: "your state value", // optional
  id_token: "your id token", // optional
});

exchangeCodeForTokens

After a user has succesfully authorised they will be redirected to your redirect_uri with an authorization code. You can use this method to retrieve access, refresh and id tokens for the user.

The signature for this method changed in v3. The previous function is available at 'exchangeCodeForTokensLegacy'

This method requires an object with two properties:

  • paramsFromCallback : an object with all the params received at your redirect uri
  • localParams : an object with params that you have in the local session for the user.
const tokens = await moneyhub.exchangeCodeForTokens({
  paramsFromCallback: {
    "code": "the auth code",
    "id_token": "the id_token", // when code id_token response type is used
    "state": "state",
  },
  localParams: {
    "state": "state", // this must be from the local session not the redirect uri
    "nonce": "nonce", // this must be from the local session
    "sub": "the user id", // optional, but without this param, requests where there are missing cookies will fail
    "max_age", // optional, not normally required
    "response_type" // recommended to enhance securirty
    "code_verifier" // required if PKCE is used
  }
})

getClientCredentialTokens

Use this to get a client credentials access token.

const tokens = await moneyhub.getClientCredentialTokens({
  scope: "the-required-scope",

Examples

We have a couple of examples under the /examples folder that can be helpful to start using our client. To run them, you'll need to use ts-node. If you haven't got it globally installed, you can run examples by executing within the library npm run ts-node -- <script path here> <options>

Running Tests

Instructions on how to run the integration tests for the API client can be found here

Adding Tests

The tests use root level Mocha hooks to set up and teardown test data. When adding tests please consider the following:

  • The test data IDs is passed via Mocha context to the individual tests. The test data can be found in the this.config object
  • To access the context in tests before or after hook ensure you are declaring as regular function instead of arrow function
  • The context cannot be accessed in the describe functions, only in the hooks or tests themselves
  • Any new tests added should either try to use the test data setup at beginning of the run
  • If the read only test user has to be used to create data, the test itself should clear up anything created in the after hook
  • Currently the read only test user is used for getting counterparties, holdings, rental records and regular transactions

Troubleshooting tests

  • If any errors occurr during test setup or teardown, this should appear as happening in the "before all" or "after all" hook in "{root}" with the error.
  • Errors in the before all hook can cause errors in the after all hook as it won't be able to find data to clear up.

TypeScript

If you wish to use the client library with TypeScript, we allow you to make use of the types that are returned from our methods. Below is an example usage to get started:

import {Moneyhub, ApiClientConfig} from "@mft/moneyhub-api-client"
const config: ApiClientConfig = {} // your config goes here and is strongly typed

const getAccounts = ({userId}) => {
  const moneyhub = await Moneyhub(config)
  const accounts = await moneyhub.getAccounts({ userId })
}

The default export is of the Moneyhub constructor that takes in an argument of the config. You can use ApiClientConfig to type that config. The client object that is returned from the constructor can then be used to make API calls. The methods are available with arguments and returns typed.
