Step 2: Generate a funding sources token #

Before calling a function within dwolla.js to add a new funding source, you need to generate a funding sources token. Your server initiates a POST request to Dwolla, specifying for which Dwolla account or Dwolla API Customer you want to add a bank account. Dwolla will respond with a funding sources token that expires in an hour. This token will be sent to the client and used to authenticate the HTTP request asking Dwolla to add a new funding source.

// Using dwolla-v2 - https://github.com/Dwolla/dwolla-v2-node
var customerUrl =
  "https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/customers/28138609-30ff-4607-b28c-4a3872f8fd4a";

dwolla.post(`${customerUrl}/funding-sources-token`).then(function (res) {
  res.body.token; // => 'Z9BvpNuSrsI7Ke1mcGmTT0EpwW34GSmDaYP09frCpeWdq46JUg'
});
