# Retrieve Liabilities data

`POST /processor/liabilities/get`

The `/processor/liabilities/get` endpoint returns various details about a loan or credit account. Liabilities data is available primarily for US financial institutions, with some limited coverage of Canadian institutions. Currently supported account types are account type `credit` with account subtype `credit card` or `paypal`, and account type `loan` with account subtype `student` or `mortgage`.

The types of information returned by Liabilities can include balances and due dates, loan terms, and account details such as original loan amount and guarantor. Data is refreshed approximately once per day; the latest data can be retrieved by calling `/processor/liabilities/get`.

Note: This request may take some time to complete if `liabilities` was not specified as an initial product when creating the processor token. This is because Plaid must communicate directly with the institution to retrieve the additional data.

## Request body

- ProcessorLiabilitiesGetRequest — ProcessorLiabilitiesGetRequest defines the request schema for `/processor/liabilities/get`
  - `client_id` string — Your Plaid API `client_id`. The `client_id` is required and may be provided either in the `PLAID-CLIENT-ID` header or as part of a request body.
  - `secret` string — Your Plaid API `secret`. The `secret` is required and may be provided either in the `PLAID-SECRET` header or as part of a request body.
  - `processor_token` string, required — The processor token obtained from the Plaid integration partner. Processor tokens are in the format: `processor-<environment>-<identifier>`

## Response `200`

OK

- ProcessorLiabilitiesGetResponse — ProcessorLiabilitiesGetResponse defines the response schema for `/processor/liabilities/get`
  - `account` AccountBase, required — A single account at a financial institution.
    - `account_id` string, required — Plaid’s unique identifier for the account. This value will not change unless Plaid can't reconcile the account with the data returned by the financial institution. This may occur, for example, when the name of the account changes. If this happens a new `account_id` will be assigned to the account. The `account_id` can also change if the `access_token` is deleted and the same credentials that were used to generate that `access_token` are used to generate a new `access_token` on a later date. In that case, the new `account_id` will be different from the old `account_id`. If an account with a specific `account_id` disappears instead of changing, the account is likely closed. Closed accounts are not returned by the Plaid API. Like all Plaid identifiers, the `account_id` is case sensitive.
    - `balances` AccountBalance, required — A set of fields describing the balance for an account. Balance information may be cached unless the balance object was returned by `/accounts/balance/get`.
      - `available` number, double, nullable, required — The amount of funds available to be withdrawn from the account, as determined by the financial institution. For `credit`-type accounts, the `available` balance typically equals the `limit` less the `current` balance, less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows. For `depository`-type accounts, the `available` balance typically equals the `current` balance less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows. For `depository`-type accounts, the `available` balance does not include the overdraft limit. For `investment`-type accounts (or `brokerage`-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the `available` balance is the total cash available to withdraw as presented by the institution. Note that not all institutions calculate the `available` balance. In the event that `available` balance is unavailable, Plaid will return an `available` balance value of `null`. Available balance may be cached and is not guaranteed to be up-to-date in realtime unless the value was returned by `/accounts/balance/get`. If `current` is `null` this field is guaranteed not to be `null`.
      - `current` number, double, nullable, required — The total amount of funds in or owed by the account. For `credit`-type accounts, a positive balance indicates the amount owed; a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder. For `loan`-type accounts, the current balance is the principal remaining on the loan, except in the case of student loan accounts at Sallie Mae (`ins_116944`). For Sallie Mae student loans, the account's balance includes both principal and any outstanding interest. Similar to `credit`-type accounts, a positive balance is typically expected, while a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder. For `investment`-type accounts (or `brokerage`-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the current balance is the total value of assets as presented by the institution. Note that balance information may be cached unless the value was returned by `/accounts/balance/get`; if the Item is enabled for Transactions, the balance will be at least as recent as the most recent Transaction update. If you require realtime balance information, use the `available` balance as provided by `/accounts/balance/get`. When returned by `/accounts/balance/get`, this field may be `null`. When this happens, `available` is guaranteed not to be `null`.
      - `limit` number, double, nullable, required — For `credit`-type accounts, this represents the credit limit. For `depository`-type accounts, this represents the pre-arranged overdraft limit, which is common for current (checking) accounts in Europe. In North America, this field is typically only available for `credit`-type accounts.
      - `iso_currency_code` string, nullable, required — The ISO-4217 currency code of the balance. Always null if `unofficial_currency_code` is non-null.
      - `unofficial_currency_code` string, nullable, required — The unofficial currency code associated with the balance. Always null if `iso_currency_code` is non-null. Unofficial currency codes are used for currencies that do not have official ISO currency codes, such as cryptocurrencies and the currencies of certain countries. See the [currency code schema](https://plaid.com/docs/api/accounts#currency-code-schema) for a full listing of supported `unofficial_currency_code`s.
      - `last_updated_datetime` string, date-time, nullable — Timestamp in [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) format (`YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ`) indicating the oldest acceptable balance when making a request to `/accounts/balance/get`. This field is only used and expected when the institution is `ins_128026` (Capital One) and the Item contains one or more accounts with a non-depository account type, in which case a value must be provided or an `INVALID_REQUEST` error with the code of `INVALID_FIELD` will be returned. For Capital One depository accounts as well as all other account types on all other institutions, this field is ignored. See [account type schema](https://plaid.com/docs/api/accounts/#account-type-schema) for a full list of account types. If the balance that is pulled is older than the given timestamp for Items with this field required, an `INVALID_REQUEST` error with the code of `LAST_UPDATED_DATETIME_OUT_OF_RANGE` will be returned with the most recent timestamp for the requested account contained in the response.
    - `mask` string, nullable, required — The last 2-4 alphanumeric characters of either the account’s displayed mask or the account’s official account number. Note that the mask may be non-unique between an Item’s accounts.
    - `name` string, required — The name of the account, either assigned by the user or by the financial institution itself
    - `official_name` string, nullable, required — The official name of the account as given by the financial institution
    - `type` 'investment' | 'credit' | 'depository' | 'loan' | 'brokerage' | 'other', required — `investment:` Investment account. In API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier, this type is called `brokerage` instead. `credit:` Credit card `depository:` Depository account `loan:` Loan account `other:` Non-specified account type See the [Account type schema](https://plaid.com/docs/api/accounts#account-type-schema) for a full listing of account types and corresponding subtypes.

This field is currently supported only for Items at institutions that use Tokenized Account Numbers (i.e., Chase and PNC). Because these accounts have a different account number each time they are linked, this field may be used instead of the account number to uniquely identify an account across multiple Items for payments use cases, helping to reduce duplicate Items or attempted fraud. In Sandbox, this field is populated for TAN-based institutions (`ins_56`, `ins_13`) as well as the OAuth Sandbox institution (`ins_127287`); in Production, it will only be populated for accounts at applicable institutions.
