Plaid Node.js Client

The `plaid` package is the official Node.js client library for interacting with the Plaid API, providing programmatic access to financial data. Currently at version 42.1.0, the library is actively maintained with updates typically released on a monthly basis, aligning with Plaid API developments. It is generated directly from Plaid's OpenAPI schema, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the latest API version (specifically `2020-09-14`). A key differentiator is its direct support for various Plaid environments (sandbox, development, production) and its use of semantic versioning, with major version increments indicating potentially breaking changes. This client simplifies authentication and API request handling, abstracting the underlying HTTP requests and providing TypeScript type definitions for robust development.
