AggCat Categorization returns common => nil

Question

After following the instructions on the IPP customer account data site regarding categorization and setting up an app to intake transactions from a users bank account I am receiving common => nil for each transaction. Is this a production only feature or should the test app receive categorizations on transactions?

Answer 1

Intuit has setup a dummy FI( called CC_Bank, institutionId - 100000) for testing CAD APIs. I guess, you are testing these calls against CC_Bank.

Ref - https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0020_customeraccountdata/customer_account_data_api/testing_calls_to_the_api

In getAccountTransaction call, CC_Bank returns a static list of transactions(with categorization).

You can refer the following steps to get new tokens and test API calls using ApiExplorer.

Key generation using openssl - https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0020_customeraccountdata/007_firstrequest

After generating these keys, you can create a sample app with the public key. https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0020_customeraccountdata/009_using_customeraccountdata/0010_gettingstarted/0015_create_an_cad_integration

then use the .p12 file with pwd for SAML assertion in apiexplorer Link - https://developer.intuit.com/apiexplorer

You can refer/use java/.net sample apps to understand the app flow.

Update

It is not a prod only feature. For real FIs, you should get categorized data.
