Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

A simple demo of the Mercury API for submitting an Application & Verifying Webhooks

Install

npm install --save @paperos/mercury-bank

Partner ID & Secret

You'll need to contact Mercury to get your Partner ID and Secret.

Partner ID

The Partner ID will be a URL-safe version of your company name.

Example:

AcmeInc

Partner Secret

The Partner Secret will be a Base64 (non-url-safe) 33 byte array.

Example:

zuud7+978BTnEXQvgTETaX+goDIii/PHu4Sgw/Sg+kYO

GPG Encrypting / Decrypting

Mercury may ask you to provide a GPG Public Key in order to send you an encrypted secret.

You can use gpg-pubkey to do that:

  • https://webinstall.dev/gpg-pubkey

When you get back the encrypted secret, you can decrypt it like this:

gpg --output ./mercury-partner-secret.txt --decrypt ~/Downloads/partner-secret.enc

Application

Using your Partner ID (ex: "AcmeInc") you can create sign-up links to partially-completed Mercury applications for your users.

See https://docs.mercury.com/reference/submit-onboarding-data.

The response you'll get back will have a Sign Up Link and an Application ID, which looks like this:

{
  "signupLink": "https://mercury.com/signup?alphaCode=AcmeInc-XXXXXX",
  "onboardingDataId": "00000000-0000-1000-0000-000000000000"
}

If the user completes the application you'll get back a number of possible webhooks as described in the docs above.

If all goes well you'll get the Routing Number and Account Number in the final webhook.

Validating Webhooks

Your Partner Secret (ex: "zu+...kYO") is used for validating Mercury webhooks.

Since the validation is performed on the raw bytes of the request, the process is split into two middleware:

  • the first performs raw byte hashing (before JSON parsing)
  • the second verifies the hash

See examples/listen-for-webhooks.js.

Example:

let Mercury = require("@paperos/mercury-bank/webhook");

let partnerSecret =
  process.env.MERCURY_PARTNER_SECRET || "demo-partner-base64-encoded-secret";
let mercury = Mercury.middleware(partnerSecret);

// MUST come before JSON parser due to *exact* byte hash comparison
app.use("/api/webhooks/mercury", mercury.pipeRequestBody);
app.use("/api", bodyParser.json());

app.post(
  "/api/webhooks/mercury",
  mercury.verifySignature,
  function (req, res, next) {
    console.info("✅ Valid signature");
    console.info(req.body.accountStatus);
    res.json({ success: true });
  }
);

// Error handler
app.use("/api/webhooks/mercury", function (err, req, res, next) {
  console.error("❌ Invalid signature");
  res.statusCode = 400;
  res.json({ error: "invalid signature" });
});
