Dear Support Please guide me about the following issue. I am trying to create funding source using Plaid Token using the CURL request attached below: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dwolla/original/2X/2/2225ae72670f333fce39f06e8bd1d618b00b4b22.png) But I am getting response (I have passed Customer Client Token as a Bearer): ```auto stdClass Object ( [code] => InvalidScope [message] => Missing or invalid scopes for requested endpoint. ) ``` I also tried a request by using IAVToken, then I got following response: ```auto stdClass Object ( [code] => InvalidAccessToken [message] => Invalid access token. ) ``` Thanks in Advance ---

Hey, @Heena, Thank you for reaching out! I tried to look up some of these requests, and I was only able to find a few where `InvalidAccessToken` was returned. This is returned because the `Authorization` header did not contain a valid access token. Before sending a request to Dwolla, make sure that you have generated an [OAuth2 token](https://developers.dwolla.com/api-reference/authorization/application-authorization) that is subsequently supplied as an `Authorization` `Bearer` header. As for `InvalidScope`, unfortunately, I was not able to find a request where this was returned in our logs; however, this has been known to happen in the past when the request body is not valid. For more information on the expected request body for creating a funding source via Plaid, I’d recommend checking out [this guide](https://developers.dwolla.com/guides/plaid/create-funding-source). Additionally, if you’d like to see a working example on create a Dwolla funding source using a Plaid token, we have an open-source project [dwolla-plaid-funding-source](https://github.com/Dwolla/integration-examples/tree/main/dwolla-plaid-funding-source) that should hopefully assist with this! Finally, regarding the `InvalidScope` error, if you are able to send over the customer ID that this error is associated with as well as the approximate date/time that Dwolla sent this error to you, I can try to search in our logs again to see if I can find the specific request body that was sent. Please let us know if you have any further questions! Thanks, James ---

Hi @james Thank you for your reply. Let me try again and I will get back to you!! ---

hi @james I am able to create Funding Source using Plaid Token successfully. But the curl Response is empty from Dwolla side. Although Funding Source is added to my customer. Any suggestions regarding this? I have got following response if I tried to send duplicate request, but not for First time request. ```auto stdClass Object ( [code] => DuplicateResource [message] => Bank already exists: id=83abcb88-2c5a-4b7a-bc99-385ac771a0d6 [_links] => stdClass Object ( [about] => stdClass Object ( [href] => https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/funding-sources/ ********-**** - ****-**** - ******** [type] => application/vnd.dwolla.v1.hal+json [resource-type] => funding-source ) ) ) ``` ---
**Author:** ![james](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/dwolla/user_avatar/discuss.dwolla.com/james/32/3524_2.png) [@james](https://discuss.dwolla.com/u/james)\ **Post date:** [June 23, 2022, 6:38pm UTC](https://discuss.dwolla.com/t/add-funding-source-using-plaid-token/8151/5 "2022-06-23T18:38:01Z")
When a resource is created in Dwolla (i.e. HTTP status code `201 Created` is returned), the response body will be empty. To grab the newly-created resource, you will want to grab the `Location` header instead. Then, once you have the `Location` URL, you can call a `GET` request on it to grab the resource information. As an example, let’s say that your application sent the following request to Dwolla: ```bash POST https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/customers/15e8df87-0bda-4fc9-8395-780aabe9ed92/funding-sources Accept: application/vnd.dwolla.v1.hal+json Authorization: Bearer [YOUR OAUTH TOKEN HERE] Content-Type: application/vnd.dwolla.v1.hal+json { "routingNumber": "222222226", "accountNumber": "123456781", "type": "checking", "name": "Jane Doe - Checking" } ... HTTP/1.1 201 Created Location: https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/funding-sources/a72c694d-392e-4099-9872-d8fbbf1800a6 ``` Now that you have the full URL for the created resource, you can execute a `GET` request on it: ```bash GET https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/funding-sources/a72c694d-392e-4099-9872-d8fbbf1800a6 Accept: application/vnd.dwolla.v1.hal+json Authorization: Bearer [YOUR OAUTH TOKEN HERE] Content-Type: application/vnd.dwolla.v1.hal+json ... HTTP/1.1 200 OK { "_links": { ... }, "id": "a72c694d-392e-4099-9872-d8fbbf1800a6", "status": "unverified", "type": "bank", "bankAccountType": "checking", "name": "Jane Doe - Checking", "created": "2022-06-23T18:23:57.300Z", "removed": false, "channels": [ "ach" ], "bankName": "SANDBOX TEST BANK", "fingerprint": "ea2f9562b698e1353d5c7e73b75dd5997de9a5329a7b7dd6f032a15352addec3" } ``` For more information on these topics, I would recommend checking out our Developer Documentation on [creating a new funding source for a customer](https://developers.dwolla.com/api-reference/funding-sources/create-funding-source-for-customer#bank) and [retrieving a funding source](https://developers.dwolla.com/api-reference/funding-sources/retrieve#bank). As for the error that you are seeing, when a funding source with the same account and routing number already exists _and is active_ for the specified customer, you will be unable to create a new funding source using the same values. Instead, you will either have to [remove the funding source](https://developers.dwolla.com/api-reference/funding-sources/remove) and then re-add it. Additionally, since you are integrating Plaid, you can choose to pair with a new bank, which should provide a different routing number, or you can select another account, such as a savings account versus a checking, which should provide a different account number.
