Powens vs Yapily

Powens

Powens documents a REST API with Markdown docs, cursor pagination, date filters and a hard-delete call for connections, under a French payment institution licence. No OpenAPI file, public price, status page, idempotency key or server SDK was found, and live access needs a signed purchase order.

Yapily

llms.txt, llms-full.txt, a no-auth docs MCP server and an OpenAPI file. No public pricing; live access starts with a sales form.

Powens

1. Ask the owner for the domain name, client ID and client secret from the console. Every call goes to https://{domain}.biapi.pro/2.0
2. Send limit on every transactions list. It is required, at most 1,000, and the next page comes from _links.next.href used as given
3. Enable an account with POST and {"disabled": false} only after the account holder consents. Accounts arrive disabled with no transactions
4. Store the permanent user token as a secret. It does not expire, and the default webhook sends it in the Authorization header
5. Stay under 30 calls a minute in the sandbox and use webhooks in place of polling, as the fair usage policy asks

Yapily

1. Read llms-full.txt once and cache it; it's the whole documentation in one fetch
2. Add the Modelo sandbox in the Console before your first account-auth-request, or institutions comes back empty
3. Treat a 403 on a data call as a revoked or expired consent and send the user back through authorisation
4. Check the error source field first; USER and INSTITUTION failures won't clear on retry
5. In the UK, call extend-consent with lastConfirmedAt before the reconfirmBy date, or the consent lapses at 90 days
