Manage your platform

To manage your platform, you can use the Balance Platform API to:

• View and update account holders.
• View and update balance accounts.

You can also log in to your Balance Platform Customer Area to view account holders, their balance accounts, and the cards issued to them.

View account holders

To view account holder details, you can either use your Balance Platform Customer Area or make an API request.

Update an account holder

To update an account holder, make a PATCH /accountHolders/{id} request. For example, for account holders that have several balance accounts, they might want to change their primary balance account.

curl https://balanceplatform-api-test.adyen.com/bcl/v2/accountHolders/AH3227C223222B5BPCMFXD2XG \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_BALANCE_PLATFORM_API_KEY" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-X PATCH \
-d '{
    "primaryBalanceAccount":"BA32272223222B5CM82WL892M"
}'

View balance accounts

To view the balance accounts and the available balances of your account holder, you can either use your Balance Platform Customer Area or make an API request.

Update a balance account

To update a balance account, make a PATCH /balanceAccounts/{id} request. The example below shows how you would update the description of a balance account.

curl https://balanceplatform-api-test.adyen.com/bcl/v2/balanceAccount/BA32272223222B5CM82WL892M \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_BALANCE_PLATFORM_API_KEY" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-X PATCH \
-d '{
    "description":"Balance account for new business"
}'

Page through API responses

For endpoints that return a list of account holders or balance accounts, we paginate the results to make the data more manageable. Use the query parameters offset and limit to page through the items. By default, we limit the number of items returned per page to 10.

Here is an example of how you would limit the page items to 2 and to skip the first 4 items of a GET /accountHolders/{id}/balanceAccounts request.

curl https://balanceplatform-api-test.adyen.com/bcl/v2/accountHolders/AHA1B2C3D4E5F6G7H8I9J0/balanceAccounts?limit=2&offset=4 \
 -H "x-api-key: YOUR_BALANCE_PLATFORM_API_KEY" \

The response returns the list, along with a hasNext and hasPrevious boolean parameters indicating if there are more items in the previous or next page.
