Laravel Specific Config

To publish the config:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=yodlee-config

Local Development

• Ensure your private-key.pem and public-key.pem keys are stored in /storage

The event subscription callback URL will normally be https://app_url/api/v1/event.

If you're doing local development, add a temporary URL to the .env file, e.g: EVENT_CALLBACK_URL=my-app.eu-1.sharedwithexpose.com/api/v1/event

The above example assumes you're using Expose. The start Expose with this URL with Laravel Valet, do this:

expose share --subdomain=my-app --server=eu-1 http://my-app.test

If you're testing with an existing project, then update composer.json in the existing project to require the file like so:

"repositories": [
        ...
        ,
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "../yodlee-api"
        }
    ],

Then update composer:

  composer require fintech-systems/yodlee-api:dev-main
...
  - Upgrading fintech-systems/yodlee-api (v0.0.17 => dev-main)
...
  - Removing fintech-systems/yodlee-api (v0.0.17)
  - Installing fintech-systems/yodlee-api (dev-main): Symlinking from ../yodlee-api
