Plaid is introducing a new optional refresh feature for its Transactions product, allowing users to pull transactions on demand, providing timely interactions and insights. This feature, called Transactions Refresh, enables developers to provide greater interactivity for their users or ensure transactions are current as of the specific moment. With this feature, users can request updates on demand, and Plaid will schedule updates and notify them proactively when new transactions are available. This feature is now available in the Sandbox, Development, and Production environments, allowing anyone with API keys to test it today for free. The introduction of Transactions Refresh is part of Plaid's ongoing efforts to improve transaction data, including recent releases of new data fields and improvements to its categorization and parsing models.
