Fellow Gliders. Has anyone tried build an app using the Plaid API ([https://plaid.com/](https://plaid.com/) Plaid?) Postman Collection is available for Plaid API ([GitHub - plaid/plaid-postman: Postman collection for the Plaid API](https://github.com/plaid/plaid-postman?tab=readme-ov-file)) I want to build an expense app and was wondering how can I use glide along with Plaid. Suggestions would be appreciated. ---

What exact limitations do you anticipate? > **[API](https://plaid.com/docs/api/)** > > Comprehensive reference for integrating with Plaid API endpoints They have a very detailed docs page here. ---

@ThinhDinh Yes Docs are very detailed but as plaid API requires secret key & client Id to be functional. In Glide I am not able to find the option in construct URL column. OR should I input the secret key & client Id in Query Parameters columns? ![Glide Parameters](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/b/eb0b4adf4fae92d81215485a93d0722c31fcd2b3.png) ---

You need to use a Call API action, which allows you to pass secrets securely. I believe it’s available on Business & Enterprise plans. ---

@Darren_Murphy Yes Call API action available on Business Plan. Is there any other workaround available? ---

Nothing native to Glide that would be fully secure, no. But you could use something external to Glide such as a Google Sheet with Apps Script, or [make.com](http://make.com). ---

HI @Robert_Petitto I want to create an Fintech App in Glide. I have the Plaid Sandbox API but Glide’s API function is paid. Can I call/fetch data from Plaid API using webhooks and call webhook in Glide? OR create a Webhook in n8n through HTTP request and then call Glide App? Expert advice would be appreciated Thanks ---

Hey there. To my knowledge, it’s against Glide’s TOS to store financial information in Glide tables. If you’re not storing financial info, then it might be okay, but you’ll still need to pay for Business plan to gain access to Glide API. Otherwise, you can use Make integration perhaps.
