The REST API is in beta. Endpoints, request formats, and response shapes may change. Pin your integration to a specific API version once versioning is available.
The Redbark REST API provides programmatic access to accounts, balances, transactions, connections, and brokerage data. Use it to build integrations, dashboards, or workflows on top of your banking and investment data.

Authentication

All API requests require a Bearer token. Create an API key in the dashboard and include it in the Authorization header:

Rate limits

Authenticated requests are limited to 30 requests per minute per API key. Unauthenticated or failed auth requests are limited to 10 per minute per IP address. Every response includes rate limit headers:
