Sparbanken Gotland API Access & Open Banking Data

Reaching your Sparbanken Gotland accounts should not mean wrestling with eIDAS certificates or building a bespoke PSD2 integration. open-banking.io gives you certificate-free access to the island bank's data across more than 2,600 European institutions, and it does so on a zero-knowledge foundation: your account data is decrypted on your own device with an encryption key that never leaves your hands. Sparbanken Gotland supports both business and personal accounts, and a single approval keeps your connection live for up to 180 days.

How to connect Sparbanken Gotland

Connecting happens entirely inside the open-banking.io dashboard — there is no API call, code, or key involved in this step.

  1. Sign up for open-banking.io and set your encryption passphrase. Your keys are generated locally on your device, so only you can ever unlock your data.
  2. In the dashboard, pick Sparbanken Gotland and choose the account type you need — business or personal.
  3. You are redirected to Sparbanken Gotland's own secure login, where you approve access under PSD2 consent. Your credentials are only ever entered on the bank's page.
  4. Your accounts and transactions sync back into your dashboard, ready to view. The consent lasts up to 180 days before a simple re-approval.

Access your data

Reading Sparbanken Gotland data programmatically is an optional developer step that comes after you have connected in the dashboard. On the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json — this bundles the API key together with your private decryption key. From there you can use the CLI (openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync), an SDK, or the REST API. Requests authenticate with the X-Api-Key header, and every response is decrypted locally with your own key. Because open-banking.io holds only your public key, the servers themselves never see readable data — an API key alone returns nothing but ciphertext. All of this runs for around EUR 3 per month.
