Overview
Rutter makes it easy for you to obtain and manage tokens from Rutter Link. A public_token
is returned whenever a merchant successfully shares their data with you. However, the public_token
cannot be used directly with our API, it must be exchanged for an access_token
through our Token Exchange endpoint.
Token Exchange Flow
- Merchant authorizes you to use their data via Rutter Link.
- Link returns a
public_token
on the frontend, which must be exchanged for anaccess_token
. - Exchange the
public_token
for anaccess_token
by calling/item/public_token/exchange
.
The access_token
can then be used to call Rutter endpoints and obtain information about a Connection.
