Dwolla API: Dwolla API Documentation

Table of Contents

SDK Installation

The SDK can be installed with either npm, pnpm, bun or yarn package managers.

NPM

npm add dwolla

PNPM

pnpm add dwolla

Bun

bun add dwolla

Yarn

yarn add dwolla

Note

This package is published with CommonJS and ES Modules (ESM) support.

Requirements

For supported JavaScript runtimes, please consult RUNTIMES.md.

SDK Example Usage

Example

import { Dwolla } from "dwolla";

const dwolla = new Dwolla();

async function run() {
  const result = await dwolla.tokens.create({
    basicAuth: process.env["DWOLLA_BASIC_AUTH"] ?? "",
  }, {
    grantType: "client_credentials",
  });

  console.log(result);
}

run();

Authentication

Per-Client Security Schemes

This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:

Name Type Scheme Environment Variable
clientID
clientSecret
tokenURL		 oauth2 OAuth2 Client Credentials Flow DWOLLA_CLIENT_ID
DWOLLA_CLIENT_SECRET
DWOLLA_TOKEN_URL

You can set the security parameters through the security optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

import { Dwolla } from "dwolla";

const dwolla = new Dwolla({
  security: {
    clientID: process.env["DWOLLA_CLIENT_ID"] ?? "",
    clientSecret: process.env["DWOLLA_CLIENT_SECRET"] ?? "",
  },
});

async function run() {
  const result = await dwolla.root.get();

  console.log(result);
}

run();

Per-Operation Security Schemes

Some operations in this SDK require the security scheme to be specified at the request level. For example:

import { Dwolla } from "dwolla";

const dwolla = new Dwolla();

async function run() {
  const result = await dwolla.tokens.create({
    basicAuth: process.env["DWOLLA_BASIC_AUTH"] ?? "",
  }, {
    grantType: "client_credentials",
  });

  console.log(result);
}

run();

Standalone functions

All the methods listed above are available as standalone functions. These functions are ideal for use in applications running in the browser, serverless runtimes or other environments where application bundle size is a primary concern. When using a bundler to build your application, all unused functionality will be either excluded from the final bundle or tree-shaken away.

To read more about standalone functions, check FUNCTIONS.md.

Available standalone functions

File uploads

Certain SDK methods accept files as part of a multi-part request. It is possible and typically recommended to upload files as a stream rather than reading the entire contents into memory. This avoids excessive memory consumption and potentially crashing with out-of-memory errors when working with very large files. The following example demonstrates how to attach a file stream to a request.

Tip

Depending on your JavaScript runtime, there are convenient utilities that return a handle to a file without reading the entire contents into memory:

  • Node.js v20+: Since v20, Node.js comes with a native openAsBlob function in node:fs.
  • Bun: The native Bun.file function produces a file handle that can be used for streaming file uploads.
  • Browsers: All supported browsers return an instance to a File when reading the value from an <input type="file"> element.
  • Node.js v18: A file stream can be created using the fileFrom helper from fetch-blob/from.js.
import { Dwolla } from "dwolla";
import { openAsBlob } from "node:fs";

const dwolla = new Dwolla({
  security: {
    clientID: process.env["DWOLLA_CLIENT_ID"] ?? "",
    clientSecret: process.env["DWOLLA_CLIENT_SECRET"] ?? "",
  },
});

async function run() {
  const result = await dwolla.customers.documents.create({
    id: "<id>",
    requestBody: {
      documentType: "license",
      file: await openAsBlob("example.file"),
    },
  });

  console.log(result);
}

run();

Retries

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.

To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, simply provide a retryConfig object to the call:

import { Dwolla } from "dwolla";

const dwolla = new Dwolla();

async function run() {
  const result = await dwolla.tokens.create({
    basicAuth: process.env["DWOLLA_BASIC_AUTH"] ?? "",
  }, {
    grantType: "client_credentials",
  }, {
    retries: {
      strategy: "backoff",
      backoff: {
        initialInterval: 1,
        maxInterval: 50,
        exponent: 1.1,
        maxElapsedTime: 100,
      },
      retryConnectionErrors: false,
    },
  });

  console.log(result);
}

run();

If you'd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can provide a retryConfig at SDK initialization:

import { Dwolla } from "dwolla";

const dwolla = new Dwolla({
  retryConfig: {
    strategy: "backoff",
    backoff: {
      initialInterval: 1,
      maxInterval: 50,
      exponent: 1.1,
      maxElapsedTime: 100,
    },
    retryConnectionErrors: false,
  },
});

async function run() {
  const result = await dwolla.tokens.create({
    basicAuth: process.env["DWOLLA_BASIC_AUTH"] ?? "",
  }, {
    grantType: "client_credentials",
  });

  console.log(result);
}

run();

Error Handling

DwollaError is the base class for all HTTP error responses. It has the following properties:

Property Type Description
error.message string Error message
error.statusCode number HTTP response status code eg 404
error.headers Headers HTTP response headers
error.body string HTTP body. Can be empty string if no body is returned.
error.rawResponse Response Raw HTTP response
error.data$ Optional. Some errors may contain structured data. See Error Classes.

Example

import { Dwolla } from "dwolla";
import * as errors from "dwolla/models/errors";

const dwolla = new Dwolla();

async function run() {
  try {
    const result = await dwolla.tokens.create({
      basicAuth: process.env["DWOLLA_BASIC_AUTH"] ?? "",
    }, {
      grantType: "client_credentials",
    });

    console.log(result);
  } catch (error) {
    // The base class for HTTP error responses
    if (error instanceof errors.DwollaError) {
      console.log(error.message);
      console.log(error.statusCode);
      console.log(error.body);
      console.log(error.headers);

      // Depending on the method different errors may be thrown
      if (error instanceof errors.UnauthorizedError) {
        console.log(error.data$.error); // string
      }
    }
  }
}

run();

Error Classes

Primary error:

  • DwollaError: The base class for HTTP error responses.
Less common errors (186)

Network errors:

Inherit from DwollaError:

* Check the method documentation to see if the error is applicable.

Server Selection

Select Server by Name

You can override the default server globally by passing a server name to the server: keyof typeof ServerList optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. The selected server will then be used as the default on the operations that use it. This table lists the names associated with the available servers:

Name Server Description
prod https://api.dwolla.com Production server
sandbox https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com Sandbox server

Example

import { Dwolla } from "dwolla";

const dwolla = new Dwolla({
  server: "prod",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await dwolla.tokens.create({
    basicAuth: process.env["DWOLLA_BASIC_AUTH"] ?? "",
  }, {
    grantType: "client_credentials",
  });

  console.log(result);
}

run();

Override Server URL Per-Client

The default server can also be overridden globally by passing a URL to the serverURL: string optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

import { Dwolla } from "dwolla";

const dwolla = new Dwolla({
  serverURL: "https://api.dwolla.com",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await dwolla.tokens.create({
    basicAuth: process.env["DWOLLA_BASIC_AUTH"] ?? "",
  }, {
    grantType: "client_credentials",
  });

  console.log(result);
}

run();

Custom HTTP Client

The TypeScript SDK makes API calls using an HTTPClient that wraps the native Fetch API. This client is a thin wrapper around fetch and provides the ability to attach hooks around the request lifecycle that can be used to modify the request or handle errors and response.

The HTTPClient constructor takes an optional fetcher argument that can be used to integrate a third-party HTTP client or when writing tests to mock out the HTTP client and feed in fixtures.

The following example shows how to use the "beforeRequest" hook to to add a custom header and a timeout to requests and how to use the "requestError" hook to log errors:

import { Dwolla } from "dwolla";
import { HTTPClient } from "dwolla/lib/http";

const httpClient = new HTTPClient({
  // fetcher takes a function that has the same signature as native `fetch`.
  fetcher: (request) => {
    return fetch(request);
  }
});

httpClient.addHook("beforeRequest", (request) => {
  const nextRequest = new Request(request, {
    signal: request.signal || AbortSignal.timeout(5000)
  });

  nextRequest.headers.set("x-custom-header", "custom value");

  return nextRequest;
});

httpClient.addHook("requestError", (error, request) => {
  console.group("Request Error");
  console.log("Reason:", `${error}`);
  console.log("Endpoint:", `${request.method} ${request.url}`);
  console.groupEnd();
});

const sdk = new Dwolla({ httpClient: httpClient });

Debugging

You can setup your SDK to emit debug logs for SDK requests and responses.

You can pass a logger that matches console's interface as an SDK option.

Warning

Beware that debug logging will reveal secrets, like API tokens in headers, in log messages printed to a console or files. It's recommended to use this feature only during local development and not in production.

import { Dwolla } from "dwolla";

const sdk = new Dwolla({ debugLogger: console });

You can also enable a default debug logger by setting an environment variable DWOLLA_DEBUG to true.

Development

Testing (Maintainers Only)

This SDK includes integration tests that run against the Dwolla Sandbox environment. These tests are intended for Dwolla team members who are maintainers of this repository and have access to the Speakeasy workspace.

Prerequisites

  1. Speakeasy CLI: Install the Speakeasy CLI by following the installation guide.

  2. Speakeasy Account: You must be a team member in the Dwolla Speakeasy workspace.

  3. Dwolla Sandbox Credentials: You need a Dwolla Sandbox account with API credentials.

Running Tests

  1. Set your Dwolla Sandbox credentials as environment variables:
export DWOLLA_CLIENT_ID="your-sandbox-client-id"
export DWOLLA_CLIENT_SECRET="your-sandbox-client-secret"
  1. Run the tests using Speakeasy CLI:
speakeasy test

The tests will execute against the Dwolla Sandbox API and generate a test report.

Note

  • 58 tests pass, while 7 tests are skipped. The skipped tests depend on feature flags (e.g., Open Banking, KBA) that must be enabled by Dwolla for your account. These tests have been verified in previous iterations and work correctly when the features are enabled.
  • Open Banking tests require resource IDs (e.g., exchangeId, exchangeSessionId) that must be created outside of the test suite, as they involve interaction with third-party providers.
  • Tests create real resources (customers, transfers, etc.) in your Sandbox account. These are safe to leave as sandbox data is isolated and can be reset.

Maturity

This SDK is generally available (GA) and follows Semantic Versioning. We recommend pinning usage to a specific major version to ensure compatibility, as breaking changes will only occur in major version updates.

Contributions

While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Any manual changes added to internal files will be overwritten on the next generation. We look forward to hearing your feedback. Feel free to open a PR or an issue with a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release.
