# Get a bank connection

## OpenAPI

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: ThinkOut API
  version: '1.0'
  description: >
    Programmatic access to the data of a ThinkOut workspace.


    Every endpoint in version 1 is a `GET`. Lists share one response envelope,
    and page

    with a cursor wherever the list can grow.


    Version 1 changes additively. New endpoints, new optional parameters, new
    response

    fields and new enum values can appear at any time, so tolerate unknown
    fields and

    never treat an enum as a closed set.

            This is the age of the data, not the age of the connection. A
            connection can sit

            at `connected` with a `last_sync_at` days old, which is the case

        The state of the connection as of ThinkOut's last exchange with the

        `connected` is working. `loading` is a sync in progress.
        `requires_action` needs a

        person to sign in or re-approve the connection in ThinkOut, and no new
        transactions

        arrive until they do. `error` is a failure ThinkOut could not resolve on
        its own,

        and covers any provider state ThinkOut cannot place.


        Only `connected` means the data behind it is current.
