Plaid API changes & breaking changes

Plaid publishes its API as an OpenAPI spec and versions it with dated releases. Detektu diffs every revision, because in a financial data integration a silently changed field is a reconciliation incident waiting to happen.

Change model

How Plaid ships changes

The release patterns that shape your integration risk.

Plaid's dated API versions gate breaking changes, but the spec still moves continuously: new products, new webhook payloads, extended enums on transaction categories. Financial integrations tend to consume a narrow, critical slice of that surface.

Detektu reports every change with exact evidence and lets you declare the endpoints and fields your ledger logic depends on, so enum extensions you don't parse stay informational while changes under your reconciliation path escalate.
