Technical FAQs

What is the correct base URL for this sandbox?

The base URL is
https://api.fortyseven.io
Please make sure you are using this in all your API calls

I got a 404 error, what am I doing wrong

Avoid using trailing slashes, else, you would get a 404 error. Example:
.../obp/v1.4.0 200 OK
.../obp/v1.4.0/ 404 Not Found
Double check parameters are spelt correctly (including http vs https etc.)
Check your encoding (use UTF8)

How should I login?

There are two ways to authenticate a user: OAuth and Direct Login. If you are using this sandbox for a hackathon, we recommend you use Direct Login to authenticate as it is easier than the OAuth workflow.

How can I use OAuth or Direct Login?

If you want to use OBP with OAuth, we recommend you use (and fork) one of our OAuth Starter SDKs. If you are using this sandbox for a hackathon, we recommend you use Direct Login. For an OAuth walkthrough example with sample code, please see here. We use OAuth 1.0a. For deepish technical details of the flow see here

Where can I read the API documentation?

Please use the API Explorer

How can I use the example customer data?

You will need to login to the API as a sandbox customer. You can do this using the API Explorer, or any REST client. You can find some example credentials here.

Where does the data come from?

We use real data and customer profiles which have been anonymized.

Where can i get more information and support?
