Publication number: 20250029177Abstract: Systems and methods for programmatic access of external financial service systems. An application proxy instance is created that simulates an application of an external financial service system. A normalized account request is received for financial data of the external financial service system for a specified account. The normalized account request is provided by an external financial application system by using a financial data API of the financial platform system. Responsive to the normalized account request, communication is negotiated with the external financial service system by using the application proxy instance to access the requested financial data from the external financial service system by using a proprietary Application Programming Interface (API) of the external financial service system. The financial data is provided to the external financial application system as a response to the normalized account request.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Inventors: William Hockey, Charles Li, Zach Perret

Publication number: 20240354720Abstract: Systems and methods for programmatic access of a financial institution system. A normalized API request provided by an application system specifies user information corresponding to at least one account endpoint of an external financial institution system. Responsive to the request, at least one application proxy instance associated with the normalized API request is used to collect transaction information from a corresponding financial institution system by providing the financial institution system with a proprietary API request. The transaction information is included in at least one proprietary API response provided by the financial institution system. A normalized API response is generated based on the collected transaction information and provided to the application system. Each application proxy instance is constructed to simulate an application of the corresponding financial institution system on behalf of a user associated with the application proxy instance.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2024Publication date: October 24, 2024Inventors: William Hockey, Zach Perret, Charles Li
