Supported API Standards

Czech Open Banking Standard (COBS)

The API is written in compliance with the Czech Open Banking Standard (COBS). This standard was introduced and published as a consensus format by the Czech Banking Association. The full specification of COBS standard is available on the Czech Banking Association website. Some of the additional development resources are also available on the official Github.

Supported Versions

We currently support the following versions of the COBS standard:

Known Differences

We know about the following minor differences in API we publish from the COBS standard:

• We use more common /oauth/authorize path instead of /oauth/auth for authorization URL.
• We placed application registration services to /cobs/2.0/applications context so that they do not interfere with standard OAuth 2.0 service namespace.
  • POST /cobs/2.0/applications - Create a new application.
  • GET /cobs/2.0/applications - Get the list of all applications of the given TPP.
  • GET /cobs/2.0/applications/{id} - Get the application details.
  • PUT /cobs/2.0/applications/{id} - Update application information.
  • DELETE /cobs/2.0/applications/{id} - Delete the given application.
• Since payments are not a natural use-case for the Direct Fidoo accounts, all payment-related resources now return a "Not Implemented" error.

Otherwise, there are no significant differences in the format of account data in transit.
