Retrieve a Base Report

Changed on

This endpoint allows you to retrieve the Base Report for your user, allowing you to receive comprehensive bank account and cash flow data. You should call this endpoint after you've received a CHECK_REPORT_READY or a USER_CHECK_REPORT_READY webhook, either after the Link session for the user or after calling /cra/check_report/create. If the most recent consumer report for the user doesn't have sufficient data to generate the base report, or the consumer report has expired, you will receive an error indicating that you should create a new consumer report by calling /cra/check_report/create.

user_idstring

A unique user identifier, created by /user/create. Integrations that began using /user/create after December 10, 2025 use this field to identify a user instead of the user_token. For more details, see New User APIs.

third_party_user_tokenstring

The third-party user token associated with the requested User data.

item_idsItemId[] nullable

The Item IDs to include in the Base Report. If not provided, all Items associated with the user will be included.

user_tokenstring

The user token associated with the user for which data is being requested. This field is used only by customers with pre-existing integrations that already use the user_token field. All other customers should use the user_id instead. For more details, see New User APIs.

user_tier'free' | 'paid' | 'null' nullable

The tier of the user.

report_idstring

The CRA report token (formatted cra-report-<env>-<uuid>) identifying a specific consumer report. When provided alongside consumer_report_permissible_purpose, pins retrieval to that report and stamps its permissible purpose. If omitted, the most recently generated report for the user is returned.

consumer_report_permissible_purpose'ACCOUNT_REVIEW_CREDIT' | 'WRITTEN_INSTRUCTION_OTHER'

The permissible purpose under the FCRA for retrieving this consumer report. Restricted to permissible purposes related to loan servicing only. Required when report_id is provided.
