[Accounts](https://docs.codat.io/banking-api#/schemas/Account) are financial accounts maintained by a bank or other financial institution.

Before using this endpoint, you must have [retrieved data for the company](https://docs.codat.io/codat-api#/operations/refresh-company-data).

## Path parameters

- `companyId` string, uuid, required — Unique identifier for your SMB in Codat.

- `accountId` string, required

- Account, nullable — This data type provides a list of all the SMB's bank accounts, with rich data like balances, account numbers, and institutions holding the accounts. Responses are paged, so you should provide `page` and `pageSize` query parameters in your request.
  - `id` string, required — The ID of the account from the provider.
  - `name` string, required — The name of the account according to the provider.
  - `informalName` string, nullable — The friendly name of the account, chosen by the holder. This may not have been set by the account holder and therefore is not always available.
  - `holder` string, nullable — The name of the person or company who holds the account.
  - `type` 'Unknown' | 'Credit' | 'Debit', required — The type of transactions and balances on the account.

  - `modifiedDate` string — The date when the record was last fetched from the accounting software, commerce software, or open banking provider and updated in Codat’s data cache. Use it to identify and retrieve records that have changed since your last fetch. For example, filtering `modifiedDate` to today will provide new records updated in Codat today. This date is populated for all data types except for attachments, balance sheets, company information, and profit & loss reports ([read more](https://docs.codat.io/using-the-api/modified-dates#modified-date)). In Codat's data model, dates and times are represented using the <a class="external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601" target="_blank">ISO 8601 standard</a>.
  - `sourceModifiedDate` string — The date when a record was last modified in the accounting software, usually by the business or a business process. For example, when payments are made against an invoice. It is not populated ([read more](https://docs.codat.io/using-the-api/modified-dates#source-modified-date)) when: - Pulling attachments - The accounting software does not provide modification dates for a data type - A record has been deleted from the source platform and Codat doesn't have a record of when the deletion occurred - A record has been voided. For certain platforms that soft delete records, `isDeleted` metadata is used to identify void records In Codat's data model, dates and times are represented using the <a class="external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601" target="_blank">ISO 8601 standard</a>.
