WSO2 Open Banking provides the complete technology stack for a hassle-free PSD2 compliance. This guide gives you a quick walk-through to the WSO2 Open Banking using the following sample scenario. 

Sample scenario

In order to comply with the PSD2 directive, the ABC Bank wishes to expose its customers' account and transaction data to third-parties via APIs upon receiving the consent from authenticated customers. Account Information Service Provider (AISPs) and Payment Initiation Service Providers (PISPs) are two types of third-parties that utilize these account and transaction data. AccPro is an AISP that subscribes to the ABC Bank's APIs to provide an aggregated view of customers' account and transaction details. TransacPro is a PISP that subscribes to the ABC Bank's APIs to initiate credit transfers on behalf of the ABC Bank's customers. 

Let's see how AISPs and PISPs interact with WSO2 Open Banking. 

Before you begin

Make sure you have the following ready:

  1. A wso2.com user account. If you do not have a WSO2 account yet,

    1. Go to https://wso2.com/user/register.
    2. Enter the required information.

      Provide a valid phone number with the country code to complete the two-factor authentication, e.g., +44 xxxxxxxxxx for a UK phone number.

    3. Click Register.
    4. Validate your account details by accessing the one-time login URL that you received via email.
  2. cURL: You need cURL on your machine so that you can make API calls using the command line.

  3. A web browser: You need a web browser to work with the customer consent approval process.

Let's get started!


AISP Flow

Imagine that you are an administrator at AccPro (the AISP) responsible for subscribing to ABC Bank's APIs that expose customers' account and transaction data. Let's take a look at the tasks you need to perform to consume these APIs.

Follow the steps below to sign in to the WSO2 Open Banking live demo:

  1. Go to the Home page and click Try Developer Portal > App (Sandbox).

    The API Store with the available APIs you can try appears.
  2. Click Sign in in the upper right corner and sign in with your wso2.com account details.

Follow the steps below to create an application with which you can subscribe to APIs:

  1. Click Applications on the WSO2 Open Banking live demo to view all the applications.

    WSO2 Open Banking comes with a sample application named DefaultApplication, which has a throttling tier with unlimited access.

  2. Click Add Application.
  3. Enter a name for the application and click Add to create the application. 

    You can select an SLA via the Per Token Quota dropdown, e.g., 50PerMin. If you do not select an SLA, the default SLA, which is unlimited will be applied.


    After the application is created, the application details page appears.

Step 3 - Subscribe to an API

Follow the steps below to subscribe to an API via an application:

  1. Click APIs to view all the available WSO2 Open Banking APIs.

  2. Click the AccountsInformationAPI API.
  3. Select the application that you created from the Applications drop-down. If you did not create an application, select the DefaultApplication.
  4. Click Subscribe
    A message appears to confirm that you have successfully subscribed to the API. Click View Subscriptions.

    The Subscriptions tab of the Application Details page appears.

Step 4 - Generate an application access token

Follow the steps below to generate the application access token and the security keys with which you can invoke an API:

  1. Click Sandbox Keys tab on the Application Details page.
  2. Enter the required information.

    FieldPurpose
    Grant Types

    This determines the credentials used to generate the access token. There are two types of grant types available in the WSO2 Open Banking live demo:

    • Client Credentials: This relates to the Client Credentials grant type and is applicable when consuming the API as an application.
    • Code: This relates to the Authorization Code grant type and is applicable when consuming the API as a user.
    Callback URLThis is the URL used by AccPro to receive the authorization code sent from the ABC Bank.
    Scopes

    Scopes enable fine-grained access control to API resources based on user roles. Select the accounts : accounts scope.

    Validity Period

    This defines the access token's validity period after which it requires regeneration. You can keep the default value, which is 3600 seconds.

    If you set the validity period to a minus value, e.g., -1, the token never expires.

  3. Click Generate Keys
    This generates an access token, consumer key, and consumer secret. 

Step 5 - Consume an API

Now that you have your access token, follow the steps below to invoke the AccountsInformationAPI and obtain the account information:

  1. Navigate to the WSO2 Open Banking live demo and click AccountsInformationAPI API.

  2. Select the application you used to subscribe to the AccountsInformationAPI API from the Try dropdown. The previously generated access token appears by default.
  3. Cilck POST /account-initiation to expand the POST /account-initiation API resource.
    1. Enter the application access token you generated in Step 4 to the Authorization : Bearer field.
    2. Enter the sample values given in the UI to body, x-jws-signature, x-fapi-interaction-id, and x-fapi-financial-id fields.
    3. Click Try it out. You receive a 201 response upon successful API invocation.

      Copy the AccountRequestId that is returned from above API call so that you can use it for the other API invocations.

What's Next?

Follow the steps below to generate a user access token:

  1. CopytheURL shown below and update the placeholders as follows:

    1. Replace the<client-ID> with the consumer key that you generated in Step 4, e.g., fAIwK4n9QKKHIoGOv1DF6eUOkiMa.
    2. Replace the <redirect-URL> with the Callback URL that you entered when generating the keys in Step 4

      e.g., https://openbanking.wso2.com/authenticationendpoint/authorize_callback.do.

      Format:

      https://api-openbanking.wso2.com/AuthorizeAPI/v1.0.0/?response_type=code&scope=accounts&state=YWlzcDozMTQ2&client_id=<client-ID>&redirect_uri=<redirect-URL>

      Example:

      https://api-openbanking.wso2.com/AuthorizeAPI/v1.0.0/?response_type=code&scope=accounts&state=YWlzcDozMTQ2&client_id=fAIwK4n9QKKHIoGOv1DF6eUOkiMa&redirect_uri=https://openbanking.wso2.com/authenticationendpoint/authorize_callback.do
  2. Paste the updated URL in your browser to navigate to the ABC Bank's open banking system.
  3. When prompted, sign in using your wso2.com credentials. 
    This is the first factor of Strong Customer Authentication (SCA)
  4. Enter the verification code that you received via SMS to the mobile number that you gave at the time of signing up to wso2.com.
    This serves as the second factor of SCA. 

    After the authentication process is complete, you are directed to the customer consent approval process.
  5. Click Approve to allow sharing of customer data.

  6. After the consent process is approved, the authorization code appears.

  7. Copy the cURL command shown below and update the placeholders as follows:

    1. <client-ID>:<client-secret> : Replace the  <client-ID> and the <client-secret> with the consumer key and the consumer secret you generated in Step 4 respectively. Make sure to keep the colon (:) separator between them.

    2. <client-ID> : Again, replace the <client-ID> with the consumer key.

    3. <authorization-code> : Replace this with the authorization code, e.g., 2b602c70-6a6e-3e96-9132-8570aaad4458.

    4. <redirect-URL> : Replace this with the Callback URL that you used to generate the keys,

       e.g., https://openbanking.wso2.com/authenticationendpoint/authorize_callback.do.

      You can only use the authorization code once.

      Format:

      curl -v -X POST --basic -u <client-ID>:<client-secret> -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8" -k -d "client_id=<client-ID>&grant_type=authorization_code&code=<authorization-code>&redirect_uri=<redirect-URL>" https://api-openbanking.wso2.com/TokenAPI/v1.0.0/

      Example:

      curl -v -X POST --basic -u fAIwK4n9QKKHIoGOv1DF6eUOkiMa:2Ui34DIx7LfIiXtrUCCpkoUqKDUa -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8" -k -d "client_id=fAIwK4n9QKKHIoGOv1DF6eUOkiMa&grant_type=authorization_code&code=ff105634-e437-3567-955d-0bcaee3603d8&redirect_uri=https://openbanking.wso2.com/authenticationendpoint/authorize_callback.do" https://api-openbanking.wso2.com/TokenAPI/v1.0.0/ 

      Paste the updated cURL command in the command prompt to generate the user access token with the consented privileges.

      Example:

      > POST /TokenAPI/v1.0.0/ HTTP/1.1
      > Host: api-openbanking.wso2.com
      > Authorization: Basic ZkFJd0s0bjlRS0tISW9HT3YxREY2ZVVPa2lNYToyVWkzNERJeDdMZklpWHRyVUNDcGtvVXFLRFVh
