Move available balance between ledgers

Request body

client_idstring

Your Plaid API client_id. The client_id is required and may be provided either in the PLAID-CLIENT-ID header or as part of a request body.

Your Plaid API secret. The secret is required and may be provided either in the PLAID-SECRET header or as part of a request body.

The amount to move (decimal string with two digits of precision e.g. "10.00"). Amount must be positive.

idempotency_keystring required

A unique key provided by the client, per unique ledger distribute. Maximum of 50 characters.

The API supports idempotency for safely retrying the request without accidentally performing the same operation twice. For example, if a request to create a ledger distribute fails due to a network connection error, you can retry the request with the same idempotency key to guarantee that only a single distribute is created.

descriptionstring

An optional description for the ledger distribute operation.

Response

OK

request_idstring required

A unique identifier for the request, which can be used for troubleshooting. This identifier, like all Plaid identifiers, is case sensitive.
