Re: [Mifos-developer] Open Banking and API Market

[Ed Cable <ed...@mifos.org>]

Hi Victor,

Thanks for your email as it's a very prescient topic with all of the
conversations in the fintech and core banking space around open banking and
the API economy. We would appreciate your efforts in trying to works better
API classification as well as alignment with BIAN. BIAN compliance has been
discussed for a couple of years now but I think that itself deserves a
separate thread.

I have included the Fineract dev list as all of the work around APIs is
happening on top of Fineract and not just the Mifos X distribution.

All of the Swagger work is actually now complete. Sanyam did the majority
of the work during his GSOC internship and then under Sanyam's leadership,
GCI student, Chirag Gupta, completed the remaining work.

We will be shipping this in the release following the current Fineract
release that's being worked on.

You can see the live documentation of the APIs at
http://ewh.ieee.org/sb/delhi/bvce/dist/ and a final report on Sanyam's
project:

Please see my replies inline.

It would be great to get the Fineract API into the private and public API
markets and would appreciate your efforts to advance the same. I think we
really need to think about how institutions can leverage the APIs by
utilizing a thin layer of Apache Fineract if they don't have it installed
as their core banking system.

We want to better establish Mifos/Fineract as a leader in this movement but
we need to develop better awareness and get more visibility.
