POST /processor/transactions/refresh
/processor/transactions/refresh is an optional endpoint for users of the Transactions product. It initiates an on-demand extraction to fetch the newest transactions for a processor token. This on-demand extraction takes place in addition to the periodic extractions that automatically occur one or more times per day for any Transactions-enabled processor token. If changes to transactions are discovered after calling /processor/transactions/refresh, Plaid will fire a webhook: for /transactions/sync users, SYNC_UPDATES_AVAILABLE will be fired if there are any transactions updated, added, or removed. For users of both /processor/transactions/sync and /processor/transactions/get, TRANSACTIONS_REMOVED will be fired if any removed transactions are detected, and DEFAULT_UPDATE will be fired if any new transactions are detected. New transactions can be fetched by calling /processor/transactions/get or /processor/transactions/sync. Note that the /transactions/refresh endpoint is not supported for Capital One (ins_128026) non-depository accounts and will result in a PRODUCTS_NOT_SUPPORTED error if called on an Item that contains only non-depository accounts from that institution.
As this endpoint triggers a synchronous request for fresh data, latency may be higher than for other Plaid endpoints (typically less than 10 seconds, but occasionally up to 30 seconds or more); if you encounter errors, you may find it necessary to adjust your timeout period when making requests.
/processor/transactions/refresh is offered as an add-on to Transactions and has a separate fee model. To request access to this endpoint, submit a product access request or contact your Plaid account manager.
