Does anyone have experience with the Plaid API?

I am looking to use Plaid for pulling brokerage account details. Is the API generally stable? Does it work well? Are there any concerns I should be aware of?

    I also use it for transactions, accounts and balance data, for several years now. The API is totally stable, very mature company, they were acquired by VISA. Couple minor quirks when I started using it but if you read the docs thoroughly it is fine.
    Its true though about the credentials, I am even hesitant myself to plug my banking credentials into some other apps that I know use Plaid and fear that that will be my biggest hurdle also.

      thank you! It sounds like you've used it for banking. Have you had experience with the Investments product that links to brokerages like etrade, tdameritrade, etc..?

    I'm using the API to pull balance and transaction data. It's really reliable.

    I know that for balance and transaction data my users have some reservations about linking their bank to the app because they have to enter their banking credentials.
