Interact with bunq banking API

Actions42

Overview

This node interacts with the bunq banking API to retrieve information about monetary accounts. Specifically, the "Get" operation under the "Monetary Account" resource fetches details of a single monetary account by its ID. This is useful when you want to obtain up-to-date information about a specific bank account linked to a user, such as balance, account status, or other metadata.

Common scenarios:

  • Fetching detailed info about a user's specific monetary account for reporting or auditing.
  • Integrating bunq account data into financial dashboards or CRM systems.
  • Triggering workflows based on account attributes or status changes.

Example:
You have a workflow that processes payments and needs to verify the account details before proceeding. Using this node, you can get the monetary account info by providing the user ID (optional) and the account ID.

Properties

Name Meaning
User ID The ID of the user owning the monetary account. Leave empty to use the current authenticated user.
Account ID The unique identifier of the monetary account to retrieve. This is required.

Output

The output is a JSON object representing the monetary account's details as returned by the bunq API. It includes all relevant fields describing the account, such as balances, account type, status, currency, and other metadata.

The node does not output binary data for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the bunq API via configured credentials (an API key or OAuth2 token).
  • The node uses internal helper functions to make HTTP requests to the bunq API endpoints.
  • No additional external services are needed beyond bunq itself.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Account ID: The operation requires a valid monetary account ID. Ensure the ID is correct and corresponds to an existing account.
  • Authentication errors: If the API credentials are missing, expired, or invalid, the request will fail. Verify your bunq API credentials in n8n.
  • User ID mismatch: If specifying a User ID, ensure it matches the owner of the monetary account; otherwise, the API may return an error or no data.
  • API rate limits or connectivity issues: Network problems or bunq API rate limiting can cause failures. Retry after some time or check network connectivity.
