Overview

Banco do Brasil provides a suite of financial APIs covering transactions, payments, PIX transfers, and account data for Brazil's largest public bank. It uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication and follows Open Banking standards. This API is best suited for developers building fintech applications targeting the Brazilian market.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized on token request Incorrect client_id or client_secret in the OAuth token request
✓ Double-check your credentials from the developer portal and ensure you are using the sandbox credentials for the sandbox environment
403 Forbidden on API call Access token does not include the required scope for the endpoint
✓ Request the correct scope when obtaining your token; each endpoint requires a specific scope listed in the documentation
400 Bad Request on PIX endpoint PIX key format is invalid or the request body does not match the expected schema
✓ Validate your request body against the API schema; PIX keys have strict format rules for CPF, CNPJ, phone, email, and random keys
