New Yodlee Developer Portal:
Quick Start for Developers
Today, we launched the first phase of the new Yodlee Developer Portal, a hub for all things developer-related. The new portal is all about putting developers first. Your success is our success, and we want your experience to be easy and productive.
In this first release, we’ve focused on improvements for developers that are building new services using Yodlee APIs.
With more than 300 new developers onboarded at Yodlee Interactive in less than three years, and hundreds of exciting new apps registered to date, we needed a new portal to meet your needs.
The second phase, debuting this summer, will introduce additional special features and functionality for all developers, as well as a separate portal for Yodlee FinApp developers.
Available Now
For developers licensing our APIs to build their own services, we’ve corralled all of your development tools in one place, so you can get started with the Yodlee API right away in a sandbox environment.
Register now and access:
- Sample Apps—Test and play with sample apps to help you understand more about fundamental Yodlee APIs and coding practices.
- API Console—A powerful GUI to help developers execute the different APIs by posting requests and viewing the responses on the console.
- Docs—Find a variety of documentation, including implementation guides, white papers, reference materials, and customer testimonials.
- Developer Forum—Collaborate, learn best practices and foster innovation with others in our developer forum. New Developer Forum Coming this Summer!
Coming in Summer 2013
Beginning this summer, developers licensing our APIs will have access to a number of new features and enhancements, while Yodlee FinApp developers will have their own portal for a streamlined experience.
Additional features include:
- New Developer Community Tools—Best-in-class tools that connect developers for support and inspiration with the Yodlee API.
- Blogs—Featured case studies and tips.
- Resources—White papers, tutorials, reference materials, and customer testimonials.
- Yodlee Open Reports—Links to usage reports for visibility into your API usage and activity.
This is just the beginning of our effort to provide a best-in-class developer portal, and we look forward to a productive collaboration. This is your portal—tell us what works and what doesn’t, and how we can help you succeed.
Case Study:
ReadyForZero
“Over the last year, Yodlee has proven to be a true proponent of financial services innovation. As a young company, we often find ourselves innovating first and figuring out the details later. The Yodlee team, developer resources and platform helped make this possible.” -Rod Ebrahimi, CEO of ReadyForZero.
Challenge: A vital part of ReadyForZero’s success is being able to provide their customers with a 360 view of their debt situation in one place. ReadyForZero needed a reliable solution that would allow consumers to easily link all of their financial accounts in one place.
Solution: With ReadyForZero’s Yodlee implementation, the company was able to seamlessly integrate a company-created add-account flow into their existing application. Consumers are now able to link their debt obligations such as credit card accounts, student loans, auto loans, and mortgages, allowing ReadyForZero to quickly and easily advise them on the prioritization of debt pay-down.
Result: ReadyForZero is helping consumers manage more than $600 million in debt and is seeing organic growth of 15 to 20 percent month-over-month.
