Ways of using Dapi APIs
There are multiple options for moving forward with exploring Dapi's APIs.
Not a developer?
You can also explore Dapi's APIs without integration. Follow the instructions for our Postman Collection. Be aware that setting up the Connect Layer will still be required!
Integration methods
-
SDK integration refers to leveraging one of Dapi's SDKs (iOS, Android, Web, Flutter, React Native or Xamarin). The easiest way to integrate with Dapi and start retrieving user data or accepting payments.
-
API integration refers to integration using one of Dapi's backend libraries (NodeJS, Go, Python, Java, C#, PHP) or vanilla Dapi API
| Feature | SDK integration* | API integration* |
|---|---|---|

| Automatic handling of MFAs (OTP, Captcha, Token, Secret Quesiton) | ✅ | ❌ Different MFAs need to be handled. |
| Automatic request queuing | ✅ | ❌ You need to ensure that for one bank connection no parallel requests are sent to Dapi. |

| Automatic local connection caching (on the device or browser) | ✅ | ❌ |
| Automatic authentication permanent accessToken retrieval | ✅ | ❌ Exchange Token needs to be implemented |
