Integration Guide
Review the API Documentation
Visit the official Banco do Brasil documentation to understand available endpoints, request formats, and response structures. Familiarize yourself with the API's rate limits and usage policies before integration.
Set Up OAuth Authentication
Banco do Brasil uses OAuth for authentication. You'll need to register your application with the provider to obtain client credentials. Implement the OAuth flow to obtain access tokens for authorized requests.
Use HTTPS for Secure Requests
Banco do Brasil supports HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. Always use HTTPS endpoints in production to protect data in transit and comply with modern web security standards.
CORS Enabled — Direct Browser Access
Banco do Brasil has CORS enabled, meaning you can make requests directly from the browser. This is ideal for frontend-only applications built with React, Vue, or vanilla JavaScript.
Implement and Test
Write your API integration code, start with a simple test request to verify connectivity. Implement proper error handling for network failures, rate limits, and invalid responses. Monitor your API usage to stay within any limits.
