/identity/refresh @utdk/plaid
/identity/refresh Refresh identity data
`/identity/refresh` is an optional endpoint for users of the Identity product. It initiates an on-demand extraction to fetch the most up to date Identity information from the Financial Institution. This on-demand extraction takes place in addition to the periodic extractions that automatically occur for any Identity-enabled Item. If changes to Identity are discovered after calling `/identity/refresh`, Plaid will fire a webhook [`DEFAULT_UPDATE`](https://plaid.com/docs/api/products/identity/#default_update).
As this endpoint triggers a synchronous request for fresh data, latency may be higher than for other Plaid endpoints (typically less than 10 seconds, but occasionally up to 30 seconds or more); if you encounter errors, you may find it necessary to adjust your timeout period when making requests.
`/identity/refresh` is offered as an add-on to Identity and has a separate [fee model](https://plaid.com/docs/account/billing/#per-request-flat-fee). To request access to this endpoint, submit a [product access request](https://dashboard.plaid.com/team/products) or contact your Plaid account manager.
