Key Concepts

Connection Sync vs Data Sync

API Key vs Connect Token

• API Key: Backend token (2h expiration) for accessing user data
• Connect Token: Frontend token (30min expiration) for Connect Widget only

Item Lifecycle

1. User opens Connect Widget with Connect Token
2. User selects connector and authenticates
3. Pluggy creates Item and starts data sync
4. Webhook notifies when sync completes
5. Backend retrieves data using API Key
6. Pluggy auto-syncs daily; webhook triggers data refresh
