Plaid Transaction Sync, Access Token Rotation and Cursor Position

I am implementing/using Plaid's Transaction product. And I have a question regarding the API interface.

If my access token for an institution is regenerated / rotated, will the cursor location of the previous access token still be valid for the new access token for the same account of the same institution?

I am asking this because, during implementation, in sandbox mode, I encountered an error where Plaid had invalidated an access token and asked to reauthenticate the token.

See more details regarding the error through these links:

  1. ITEM_LOGIN_REQUIRED - Item has expired credentials or consent
    https://plaid.com/docs/errors/

  2. Plaid Transaction API doc.:
    https://plaid.com/docs/api/products/transactions/#transactionssync

Thanks!

Solution

  • Yes, it will still be valid. Going through update mode does not impact the cursor.
