Points to Note:

  • With the new implementation, customers can rely on status “PARTIAL_SUCCESS” and additionalStatus “PARTIAL_DATA_RETRIEVED_REM_SCHED” to identify whether the progressive refresh has been scheduled for an account.
  • The endpoint for providerAccount services has been changed from “provider/providerAccount” to “providerAccount”. This change was made in the aspect of better REST practices and changes were done in such a way that the changes does not impact the existing implementation.
  • The additionalDataset in providers API response represents the attributes that are not retrieved by default. The same cannot be requested or retrieved for accounts with this release. APIs to request the same will be released in forthcoming releases.
