Starting a new venture? Need to upgrade your web or mobile app? RapidDev builds Bubble apps with your growth in mind.
In the first place, you must have Yodlee account credentials. Without these, you will not be able to proceed. If you don't already have these, they can be obtained via requesting access from Yodlee's website.
Upon registration, Yodlee will provide you with a Sandbox environment. This will come with a Sandbox API key and Sandbox URL. See these as the keys and pathway to integrating Yodlee with your Bubble.io application. The API key will authenticate your application on Yodlee, while the Sandbox URL will be the address you make API requests to during development.
Step two involves logging into your Bubble.io account. Once you've logged in, navigate to your app's dashboard.
In the dashboard, go to the tab that is labeled as “APIs” under the “Backend” section.
Now, enable “Post API request” by toggling the switch available. The dashboard should permit you to make data sending and retrieval possible from Yodlee.
After completing the general API setup, you'd want to add Yodlee as a new API. Concentrate on the "API Connector” plugins option provided by Bubble. This option allows you to connect to external and third party APIs.
Click on the +Add another API button. Here, you're required to provide a name for the connection. You may name it "Yodlee" for identification purposes.
Don’t forget to switch the Data Type to “JSON” as Yodlee supports JSON data exchange format.
In this step, you need to initiate the authentication process between Bubble and Yodlee. Yodlee uses API Key based authentication.
Go to the settings of the "Yodlee" API you just created on Bubble.
There, set authentication type as "Private key in header". Then, fill the "Header" section as requested - "Header": "Authorization", "Value": "Bearer {apiKey}". Replace "{apiKey}" with your real Yodlee API Key.
Also, insert the Sandbox URL as the base URL for your calls.
Make sure you save changes before exiting.
Once the base URL is configured, you can start setting up specific endpoints that you want your app to access. Yodlee has a multitude of options but for this example, let's say you wanted to access user's account details.
Click on the "Add another API call" button. Name your call and make sure that it's "GET". Enter the endpoint you want to access, e.g. /accounts.
Make sure you test the setup to ensure things are working as expected. You'll be ready to use this newly established API connection for retrieving user account data from Yodlee.
The final step is to test the APIs to ensure they are functioning as expected. This can be done by hitting the "Initialize" button. Monitoring the output data would tell if it's working as it should.
Every time your application needs to fetch data from Yodlee, it would make use of these API configurations to do so. Start incorporating these functionalities in your workflows and logic.
All these steps should singularly help in establishing connection to Yodlee, and getting your desired data output.
Remember, always ask for help immediately you encounter any roadblock.
Endeavor to troubleshoot any issues that arise and seek help from communities if you encounter any issues. There is a lot you can achieve with Bubble.io and Yodlee integration. Happy coding!
Scenario: A financial advisory firm provides personalized financial advice to its customers based on their financial history and current financial status. They use Bubble.io to build a custom web application where customers can view their financial advice, monitor their financial progress and make adjustments to their financial plans as needed. The firm needs real-time access to customers' bank account information, transactions, investments and other financial data to provide accurate financial advice. Therefore, they choose to integrate Bubble.io with Yodlee, a financial data aggregation platform.
Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with Yodlee
The firm uses Bubble.io to create a user-friendly application that allows customers to input their bank account details, set financial goals, view financial advice and track their progress towards their goals.
The firm installs the Yodlee plugin in Bubble.io and configures it with their Yodlee API key. They set up workflows in Bubble.io that trigger when a customer logs in to the application, updates their financial goals or requests financial advice.
When a customer logs into the application and inputs their bank account details, the Yodlee plugin connects to the customers' bank accounts, and collects real-time financial data such as account balances, transactions and investments.
Based on the pulled financial data, the firm's financial advisors generate personalized financial advice for the customer, which is displayed in the Bubble.io application.
The personalized advice can also be updated in real-time as financial data changes, ensuring the advice is always relevant and accurate.
By integrating Bubble.io with Yodlee, the financial advisory firm can provide personalized, real-time financial advice to its customers, improving the efficiency of their services and the quality of the financial advice they provide.
