Balance Update Endpoint

The Balance Update Endpoint is required for sending outbound ACH transfers from your client, as it enables Astra to fetch the balance of the end-user's account created through account number and routing number via the POST /v1/accounts/create endpoint.

Astra GETs the balance data from your application by account ID

Astra will need an endpoint to call to get the balance of an account after receiving a balance_update webhook. We recommend the following:

• The endpoint should be secure and utilize authentication. Usually a combination of basic auth and JWT (with an expiration)
• The endpoint should accept an account_id parameter
• The endpoint should return a JSON response with the following payload:

📘

• Both available_balance and current_balance are required
• Balances should be integers (cents)

{
  "available_balance": 12345,  
  "current_balance": 12345
}
