Build A Budget From Recurring Spend

with Tink

Inspect recurring spend and categories, create a budget, then read its progress.

  1. List the user's confirmed recurring transactions to ground the budget in real recurring spend.
  2. List the Tink categorisation taxonomy for the supplied locale.
  3. Create a business budget for the requested category, amount, and period.
  4. Read the new budget back to surface its current progress and remaining amount.
What you'll need to have ready

  • locale: Optional locale for the category taxonomy (e.g. en_US).
  • budgetName: A name for the budget.
  • amount: The budget limit amount as a decimal string (e.g. 500.00).
  • currencyCode: ISO 4217 currency code for the budget amount (e.g. EUR).
