App Router API routes for Plaid endpoints
Middleware authentication to protect Plaid routes
Server-side token exchange to securely exchange public tokens for access tokens
Webhook route handling to verify and process Plaid webhooks
Server actions for Plaid operations to run background tasks such as transaction sync

Quick Start

Set up a server-side Plaid client, create app/api/plaid routes for link token creation, token exchange, and webhook handling, then protect routes with middleware.

How do I integrate Plaid with Next.js App Router using server actions?▼

To integrate Plaid with Next.js App Router, you can use server actions to run background tasks like transaction sync, alongside API route handlers for link token creation and token exchange. This approach provides a server-first architecture using a server-only Plaid client.

How do I handle Plaid webhooks in a Next.js application?▼

Handle Plaid webhooks in Next.js by using App Router API route handlers. You can create app/api/plaid routes specifically to receive, verify, and process Plaid webhook events securely on the server side.

How do I securely exchange Plaid public tokens for access tokens in Next.js?▼

Securely exchange Plaid public tokens for access tokens using Next.js server-side token exchange. By keeping the Plaid client server-only, the sensitive token exchange process happens entirely within API routes or server actions.

Can I use middleware to protect Plaid API routes in Next.js 13+?▼

Yes, you can protect Plaid API routes in Next.js 13+ using middleware authentication. This ensures that requests to your Plaid endpoints are validated and secured before reaching the server-side route handlers.

What is the best way to create Plaid link tokens in a Next.js server environment?▼

The best way to create Plaid link tokens in Next.js is using App Router API routes with a server-only Plaid client. This keeps your API credentials secure and handles link token creation entirely on the server.
