plaid/quickstart

Something went wrong

I am getting this error when I click on my bank and click to login. It appears I am getting it for all banks that perhaps have OAUTH (Chase, BoA, etc) as well. My .env seems correct and I have had quickstart working before and haven't changed anything; id, secret, development all populated and redirect is blank. I rotated the secret to see if that would make a difference but it didn't. I have tried with node and Python and results are the same. Can anybody give me a hand on why I am seeing this message box now? Thanks!

some troubleshooting suggestions:

  1. make sure you are using sandbox environment -- if you are using development, you need to complete the oauth requirements.
  2. check the console log, terminal, and plaid dashboard logs for any errors

Okay, looks like one of those requirements is Production access, which I haven't really thought about. So, if I use sandbox, I can only use Platypus? I ask because when I select my institution in Sandbox, click to login, and it takes me to Platypus login screen (does this with any OAUTH bank that I select)...

Sandbox does support multiple banks, but it uses the Platypus OAuth flow for all OAuth banks. To test with the real, bank-specific OAuth flows, you'd have to apply for and receive production access, then test in development.
