An example web app demonstrating integration with the Tink API

Tink Connect Example

This is an example web app that demonstrates how you can integrate the Tink API to fetch users' account and transaction data.

This app was bootstrapped with create-react-app. Other than that, it has been made as simple as possible.

Installation

The application requires a Tink API developer account.

Prerequisites

1. Create your developer account at Tink Console
2. Follow the getting started guide to retrieve your client_id and client_secret
3. Register the redirect URI for the example app (http://localhost:3000/callback) in the list of allowed redirect URIs

Structure

• Node server/backend: can be found in server.js
• React client/frontend: can be found in the client folder.

Running the app locally

1. Install the dependencies.

$ npm install

2. Set your client identifier and client secret into the following environment variables

$ export REACT_APP_CLIENT_ID="<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>"
$ export REACT_APP_CLIENT_SECRET="<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>"

3. Run both the backend (server.js) and the frontend (client folder) concurrently:

$ npm run dev

You should be redirected to the client app on http://localhost:3000/. The client runs on port 3000 and the server runs on 8080.
