get https://api.sandbox.usebasis.co/institutions/
Overview
Returns a single institution, including the list of Platforms supported by Basis at the Institution.
Use cases
- Initialize Connect directly to a specific Platform. To do this, use the
platform_id
in your initialization token. - Provide a descriptive name of the Platform to users for them to identify their account easily. We recommend using the Platform's
display_name
for this - on "Connect your bank" buttons, for example. - Disambiguate Platforms when multiple Platforms exist at an Institution, or multiple Institutions have similar names. The
homepage_url
will be recognizable by the bank user as the website at which they manage their accounts online.
