Plaid API Integration
Integrate Plaid for connecting bank accounts and syncing transactions in TypeScript applications using Bun.
Installation
bun add plaidClient Initialization
import { Configuration, PlaidApi, PlaidEnvironments } from 'plaid';
const plaidClient = new PlaidApi(new Configuration({
basePath: PlaidEnvironments[process.env.PLAID_ENV || 'sandbox'],
baseOptions: {
headers: {
'PLAID-CLIENT-ID': process.env.PLAID_CLIENT_ID,
'PLAID-SECRET': process.env.PLAID_SECRET,
}
}
}));Link Token Creation
Omit redirect_uri to use popup mode — required for local HTTP development:
const response = await plaidClient.linkTokenCreate({
user: { client_user_id: `user-${Date.now()}` },
client_name: 'My App',
products: ['transactions'],
country_codes: ['US'],
language: 'en',
// No redirect_uri = popup mode, works with HTTP localhost
});
const linkToken = response.data.link_token;Token Exchange
After the user completes Link, exchange the temporary public_token for a permanent access_token:
const response = await plaidClient.itemPublicTokenExchange({ public_token });
const { access_token, item_id } = response.data;
// Store access_token securely — never expose to clientsTransaction Sync
Plaid returns a maximum of 500 transactions per request. Always paginate:
let offset = 0;
const count = 500;
while (true) {
const response = await plaidClient.transactionsGet({
access_token,
start_date: '2023-01-01',
end_date: '2024-12-31',
options: { count, offset },
});
// Process response.data.transactions
offset += response.data.transactions.length;
if (offset >= response.data.total_transactions) break;
}For ongoing incremental updates, prefer transactionsSync with a cursor — see references/api-reference.md.
Error Handling
Catch Plaid errors from error.response?.data:
try {
await plaidClient.transactionsGet({ ... });
} catch (error: any) {
const plaidError = error.response?.data;
if (!plaidError) throw error;
switch (plaidError.error_code) {
case 'ITEM_LOGIN_REQUIRED':
// Re-initialize Link in update mode
break;
case 'INVALID_ACCESS_TOKEN':
// Token revoked — delete item, prompt re-link
break;
case 'PRODUCT_NOT_READY':
// Data still processing — retry after delay
break;
default:
throw new Error(`Plaid error: ${plaidError.error_code} — ${plaidError.error_message}`);
}
}Database Setup
Use Bun SQLite with items → accounts → transactions hierarchy. For the complete schema with indexes, prepared statements, and TypeScript types, see references/code-examples.md.

How to use this skill
Install plaid-integration by running npx skills add b-open-io/prompts --skill plaid-integration in your project directory. Run the install command above in your project directory. The skill file will be downloaded from GitHub and placed in your project.
No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.
The skill enhances your agent's understanding of plaid-integration, helping it follow established patterns, avoid common mistakes, and produce production-ready output.
What you get
Skills are plain-text instruction files — not executable code. They encode expert knowledge about frameworks, languages, or tools that your AI agent reads to improve its output. This means zero runtime overhead, no dependency conflicts, and full transparency: you can read and review every instruction before installing.
Compatibility
This skill works with any AI coding agent that supports the skills.sh format, including Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and other tools that read project-level context files. Skills are framework-agnostic at the transport level — the content inside determines which language or framework it applies to.
