Increase Files API

Files are objects that represent a file hosted on Increase's servers. The file may have been uploaded by you (for example, when uploading a check image) or it may have been created by Increase (for example, an autogenerated statement PDF). If you need to download a File, create a File Link.

OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  description: Anything that you can achieve with PDFs, presence, and persistence in a bank branch you can do with our API. We've always wanted a fully programmatic bank so we built one. Our API faithfully exposes the data and capabilities of the Federal Reserve, Visa, The Clearing House, depository networks, and accounting tools. It's lovingly boring and exceptionally powerful. If you have any questions or want to get started, don't hesitate to ping us at sales@increase.com. We can't wait to see what you build!
