I'm using yodlee live API to link the bank transaction details.
Invalid bank account details accepts, when we add new site account in yodlee via live API, For example, the the account details like xxxxx and yyyyy, then the account added successful.
It's normal or any settings to be turned on in yodlee account or API parameters?
How can i validate the account details? while user add new site account?
Thanks in advance.
Though Yodlee accepts the invalid details/credentials, the account would fail. This would be represented by an Error code such as 402, which would mean that the credentials are wrong.
This is normal setting and teh only way you can validate if the details are right is by checking the status of the account. The error code should be "0" if everything is right.
Hope this helps. You can get more details on error codes under different scenarios #Error Code
Hope this helps

In short: Yodlee doesn't know the username/password entered during add account are correct or not; it has to validate the same with Bank website.
To explain you the process:
When you are adding a particular Bank account, you provides the username/password(it may be correct or incorrect) Yodlee doesn't know and can't validate at the time of submission. Yodlee takes the inputs(username/password) and submits the same to the Bank website(which consumer had selected); meanwhile you'll receive a response from API- addSiteAccount1, which will have the code as 801 (Refresh Never Done and Yodlee is going to update your account).
Once Bank website validate the same and found them incorrect Yodlee return 402 error code(invalid credentials), you need to call getSiteRefreshInfo API to check the same in loops each of 3-4sec.

How can I recognize when user has added account in Yodlee Fast Link (for example an investment account) by going to the link.
What I want:
I am creating a link to "Fast Link";
User are following by this link;
He is adding a their account;
And in this point I wanna know that he has added something (for example by callback url). How?
Thanks!
Yes, this can be done. You can have a page hosted that can count the hits and use that page as callback URL in extra params for FastLink.
You can get more information on this at
https://developer.yodlee.com/Fastlink_2.0/FastLink_Integration_Guide_for_Web
The extra parameters that needs to be passed for achieving this is as below
callback=http://google.co.in where here google.co.in is your callback page

Yodlee have introduced a new event subscription service using webhooks. It is part of their YSL (Yodlee Service Language) product.
It can trigger events for following –
the MFA information is requested by the provider site to log in for
aggregating data
the Yodlee system has performed the login on the provider site
successfully
the Yodlee system has retrieved the account summary information from
the provider site successfully
the final status of account addition or update account APIs
Details -
https://developer.yodlee.com/apidocs/index.php#!/cobrand/eventSubscription
Please NOTE that Webhook event notifications will work only when you try to add the account using YSL APIs (manually).It doesn't work with FastLink. I have been informed by Yodlee Support. They also informed me that till date they don't have any client using webhook service, which was bit scary to know.
How to verify a bank account through Yodlee IAV, without providing account number and routing number ?
Is there any means to verify by prompting for netbanking credentials?
You can use Yodlee IAV data services for the same, while you can skip the first step where you'll ask consumer to enter the RTN and directly ask them to first choose the bank site and then check if IAV is supported for that particular site or not. You can find the Yodlee IAV data services flow chart over here.
While linking one of our bank account from HDFC bank india we see an error message stating :
ERROR : 401 : HDFC Bank (India) - Bank and Credit Card
As part of our internal proactive monitoring initiative, we have observed that agent is failing with 401 because loginpost URL timed out.
Let me know does these banks are not supported within yodlee or is there any access restriction.
Besides this API accepts invalid login too and returns has site(bank name) added successfully.
Let me know how to solve these problems
Thanks In Advance.
This error comes when Yodlee is not able to connect with the Bank website in a defined time frame. This could happen due to various reasons,one of basic reason is that Site is taking too much time to load or open login page.
For your reference here is the details about different error codes.
On your second question: Where you have mentioned that this API takes invalid login credentials as well.
To explain you the process- You'll provide the credentials(whether correct or incorrect) to this API, then Yodlee uses those credentials and try to login at the bank website while if site says that the credentials are invalid Yodlee returns the respective error code and message. Hope this helps.
Currently, I am making the following POST call:
https://rest.developer.yodlee.com/services/srest/restserver/v1.0/authenticate/coblogin?cobrandLogin=sbCobFoo&cobrandPassword=Bar
(Note that I inserted a fake login and password for the purpose of this post). I am getting the following response:
{"Error":[{"errorDetail":"The account for user sbCobFoo is locked"}]}
I wasn't able to find anything in the Yodlee documentation, other than that this error represents CobrandUserAccountLockedException. Has any one encountered this error and/or know how to resolve it (i.e. unlock my account)?
You will need to reach out to your Yodlee Customer Service representative to get your credentials unlocked. Yodlee does not provide any API to unlock user/cobrand account(s).
I am trying to use the Ebay API to get completed transactions for a seller(s) that is using a different account from my developer account. I've looked into GetSellerTransactions and GetOrders. Unfortunately, I am not sure if it's possible to specify a User ID different from mine. Could you point me to working example of how to do this?
To get transactions for a user you should be first authorized by that user.
You will need a developer account for that.

http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/XML/docs/WebHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=eBay_XML_API&file=DevAndTestApplications-Testing_Applications.html
Once you get the user token for a user you need to send them along with your developer credentials to make the getOrders API call for that particular user.
