# Introduction

Conecte is Klavi’s Open Finance solution for collecting end-user data sharing consent and accessing financial data. Through its APIs, applications can manage consent flows and receive financial data products provided by Klavi.

# Environments

### Sandbox

A fully simulated environment with mocked financial institutions and mocked data. It allows partners to test the entire integration flow, including consent authorization and financial data requests, using reports that mirror the structure of production outputs.

### Testing (Desenvolvimento)

An exact replica of the Production environment where real consents can be created and real financial data and reports can be requested. The only differences from Production are that there is a daily consent creation limit and no billing is applied.

### Production

The live environment used to create real end-user consents and access financial data for production use cases. [Explore environment details](docId\:Kgi_01D13tjeDpQHhwc0v).&#x20;

# Integration Flow Overview

1. Your application creates a link session to start the authorisation flow.
2. The end user selects an institution and authorises data sharing.
3. Klavi handles the Open Finance and LGPD authorisation flows.
4. Klavi notifies your application about the consent status through events.
5. Once authorisation is completed, financial data products become available.

### Link & Consent&#x20;

A link represents the consent authorisation session through which your end-user will authorise data sharing consents. The consent represents the data sharing authorisation and can be used to track data availability status. Learn more in the [Concepts](docId\:CjeYEOENGiD2TKwNBBzMv) section.

### APIs

Conecte provides APIs to create and manage link sessions, handle the consent lifecycle, and request financial data products. Detailed endpoints, parameters, and examples are available in the [API reference](docId\:EX4Rn3BOwaLxw8rnY1FlS).

### Events & Webhooks

Conecte uses events to notify applications about relevant updates in the consent lifecycle and data availability. These events are delivered asynchronously to the partner’s webhook, enabling applications to react to authorization updates. Learn more in the [API Events](docId\:L2P6pW11AdwVumkNS6PKc) section.

### Data Products

Conecte's financial data reports are generated from Open Finance data collected through user consent. These products include structured reports and datasets, such as categorized statements and aggregated financial indicators. [Explore available products](docId\:xkr8lrggFj7YFng1vaYdD).
