bunq API endpoint to get IBAN from MonetaryAccount

Eric-Green-Badger

Hi,

I want to know how to get a bank account by name. I found that the MonetaryAccountBank doesnt hold the IBAN. The MonetaryAccountBank holds the description: is that the name of the account? The object LabelMonetaryAccount holds the IBAN and Name so there I can get the IBAN from, but how to get there? I cant list all LabelMonetaryAccounts, whereas with the MonetaryAccountBank I can use the list() function.

Plz help :)

Kind regards,
Eric Jansen

Good morning Eric!

MonetaryAccountBank holds the IBAN, it's inside the "alias" object with the type property value "IBAN".
And the name of the account is inside MonetaryAccountBank->description.

Check the following Python examples to make it more clear (hopefully 😉):
https://github.com/bunq/tinker_python/blob/2182b8be276fda921657ad22cfe0b8b48a585ccf/tinker/libs/bunq_lib.py#L85

Have a nice day and good luck!

btw, maybe it's better to use the monetary-account endpoint. Because this one also holds the MonetaryAccountJoint and MonetaryAccountSavings accounts.

Hi,

thank you for the response. I found it! Can you please tell me something (or a link) about how aliasses work? In the doc I find this:
"alias": [
{
"type": "string",
"value": "string",
"name": "string"
}
],
But, that doesnt tell me what options I have.

Second question: if I use MonetaryAccount, how would that work? Because if I look up MonetaryAccount I have this:
{
"MonetaryAccountBank": {
"currency": "string",
"description": "string",
"daily_limit": {
"value": "string",
"currency": "string"
},
"status": "string",
"sub_status": "string",
"reason": "string",
"reason_description": "string",
"notification_filters": [
{
"notification_delivery_method": "string",
"notification_target": "string",
"category": "string"
}
],
"setting": {
"color": "string",
"default_avatar_status": "string",
"restriction_chat": "string"
}
},

No alias here, is that right?

The weird thing here is: you can get the alias from the monetaryaccountJoint, but there is no alias in monetaryAccountBank

@Eric-Green-Badger#64263 An monetary account can have 4 different aliasses: IBAN, EMAIL, PHONE_NUMBER and URL (bunq.me url).

Second question:
Maybe this information is missing in the documentation and/or SDK. Let me check/test this for you.

@Eric-Green-Badger#64264
It's working fine with the Python SDK, i've made this example:

Thank you Bastiaan, really appreciate it!

Quick follow up question: if you have a MonetaryBank, how would you know the type (Joint, Bank). Just use a null-test? If MonetaryAccount.MonetaryAccountBank != null etc?

Gregory

@Eric-Green-Badger#64281 That's how we handle it in the other SDKs aswell. Or rather just grab the first key in the object which for a monetary account is always a single element in the object anyway.

Thank you guys, I'll try later today.

You can come get some cake if you want ;)
