# Refresh Individual Accounts or Connections

`POST /refresh/{id}`

This endpoint requests a data refresh for a specific financial institution or a specific account that the user has connected to your application.

#### Connection ID

Calling this endpoint with a **Connection** ID will request that Akahu performs a data refresh for all of the user's connected accounts that are held at the financial institution corresponding to that Connection.

#### Account ID

Calling this endpoint with an **Account** ID will request that Akahu performs a data refresh for that specific connected account and any other connected accounts that are associated with the same login credentials.

For example, if the user has shared three ASB accounts from a single set of login credentials and you request a refresh for one, the other two accounts will also be refreshed.
