To check the status of an item, you can use the Item Debugger on the Plaid Dashboard. The Item Debugger is a tool that provides detailed information about a specific Item. An Item in Plaid represents a login at a financial institution. Each Item linked within your application will have a corresponding access_token
and a unique item_id
.
To use the Item Debugger on the Plaid Dashboard, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Plaid Dashboard at dashboard.plaid.com.
- Click on the "Item Debugger" tile. You can also access it by navigating to the "Activity" section in the left sidebar, and selecting "Item Debugger".
- Here, you can enter the
item_id
of the Item you want to debug. Theitem_id
is a unique identifier for each Item. You can find theitem_id
in the response of several Plaid API endpoints. For example, when you create an Item using the/link/token/create
endpoint, the response includes anitem_id
. Note that you can also use other identifiers in the Item Debugger, such as anaccess_token
,link_session_id
, orlink_token
. - After entering the
item_id
, you can view detailed information about the Item, such as its associated institution, the products it has access to, and its webhook URL. - You can also see the status of the Item, including any errors that may have occurred.
