POST /asset_report/create

The /asset_report/create endpoint initiates the process of creating an Asset Report, which can then be retrieved by passing the asset_report_token return value to the /asset_report/get or /asset_report/pdf/get endpoints.

The Asset Report takes some time to be created and is not available immediately after calling /asset_report/create. The exact amount of time to create the report will vary depending on how many days of history are requested and will typically range from a few seconds to about one minute. When the Asset Report is ready to be retrieved using /asset_report/get or /asset_report/pdf/get, Plaid will fire a PRODUCT_READY webhook. For full details of the webhook schema, see Asset Report webhooks.

The /asset_report/create endpoint creates an Asset Report at a moment in time. Asset Reports are immutable. To get an updated Asset Report, use the /asset_report/refresh endpoint.

Request body fields

Name Type Required Description
access_tokens[] Array No

An array of access tokens corresponding to the Items that will be included in the report. The assets product must have been initialized for the Items during link; the Assets product cannot be added after initialization.

days_requested Integer Yes

The maximum integer number of days of history to include in the Asset Report. If using Fannie Mae Day 1 Certainty, days_requested must be at least 61 for new originations or at least 31 for refinancings.

An Asset Report requested with "Additional History" (that is, with more than 61 days of transaction history) will incur an Additional History fee.

client_id String No

Your Plaid API client_id. The client_id is required and may be provided either in the PLAID-CLIENT-ID header or as part of a request body.

options Object No

An optional object to filter /asset_report/create results. If provided, must be non-null. The optional user object is required for the report to be eligible for Fannie Mae's Day 1 Certainty program.

options.products[] Array No

options.add_ons[] Array No

A list of add-ons that should be included in the Asset Report.

When Fast Assets is requested, Plaid will create two versions of the Asset Report: the Fast Asset Report, which will contain only Identity and Balance information, and the Full Asset Report, which will also contain Transactions information. A PRODUCT_READY webhook will be fired for each Asset Report when it is ready, and the report_type field will indicate whether the webhook is firing for the full or fast Asset Report. To retrieve the Fast Asset Report, call /asset_report/get with fast_report set to true. There is no additional charge for using Fast Assets. To create a Fast Asset Report, Plaid must successfully retrieve both Identity and Balance data; if Plaid encounters an error obtaining this data, the Fast Asset Report will not be created. However, as long as Plaid can obtain Transactions data, the Full Asset Report will still be available.

When Investments is requested, investments must be specified in the optional_products array when initializing Link.

options.user Object No
