Borrower

Payitoff API: Borrower Schema

🚧

Use BorrowerPayload for API POST, PUT, and PATCH requests

For historical reasons, the request payload required when creating and updating a Borrower via our v1 API has a different shape than the response object. Thus, you must use a BorrowerPayload for your API request payloads, and expect a Borrower object as the response.

This discrepancy will be corrected in API v2.

📘

Always save the Borrower.id and Borrower.uuid to your systems

Borrowers have both an id and uuid. These are largely interchangeable in the API, and you'll see that our documentation and examples reflect passing Borrower.id in API calls.

However, you should always save the Borrower.uuid value, as Nexus requires the uuid value, and will not work if supplied with a Borrower.id value.

👍

When you use Nexus.link, we'll fill in data for you!

Normally, a Borrower returned from our API will only include the information you've provided when you create or update the Borrower record. However, when you use Nexus to link Borrowers and Servicers, we'll include the first_name, last_name, address, phone, and email we've collected from their Servicers when possible.
