Authorisation

To create a standing order you can generate an authorization URL using the Moneyhub API Client https://github.com/moneyhub/moneyhub-api-client#getstandingorderauthorizeurl

The end user should be directed to a consent page, showing the details of the standing order where they can confirm and consent

1016

Once the user has confirmed the details, they will be forwarded to the bank to login and authorise the standing order. The response this step is an authorisation code, which can be exchanged to complete the standing order setup
https://github.com/moneyhub/moneyhub-api-client#exchangecodefortokens

Status

When created the standing order will have one of these statuses. To refresh the status of a standing order it can be requested from the /standing-orders/:standingOrderId endpoint and checked with the updatedAt date
