James Dailey commented on FINERACT-2439:
----------------------------------------
Here is a statement I made on the dev list in reference to "self service apis".
This component addresses this gap:
> I also think Fineract should probably build its own "reference version" for
> the same functionality but in a different github at Apache Fineract. This
> would fit better into an overall architecture, where you have the component
> using secure methods to connect to the backend APIs and then exposing
> different customer facing APIs . The auth is different for such a
> component, as it relies on identity models for the end user, which are
> fundamentally different than identity validation for employees of a bank,
> credit union, etc
> Create a new backend for front end component POC

> *Note: GSOC applicants - this is a "draft concept". Do not work on your
> proposal until we kick off the process at Fineract for evaluating. We may
> significantly edit this concept or create new ones to replace it.*
> *No one should work on this specific ticket unless assigned - the GSOC
> candidate we choose will be assigned this ticket.*
> *For more information, you should be reviewing emails on this subject and
> following the Wiki pages.*

> h3. *Build a Self-Service API Component that Connects to Apache Fineract*
> When the project removed self-service APIs in 2025, it did so understanding
> that we would need an outside component to make that connection as part of an
> overall solution.
> This project is to create - as a Proof of Concept (POC) - a new dedicated
> Self-Service API component or service that integration with Fineract backend.
> It will need to expose APIs to consumer facing applications for typical
> activities like viewing account balances, transaction initiation, loan
> application, etc.
> The idea is for GSOC candidates to propose a design and build the POC.
> Minimal criteria include testing, authentication methodology, documentation.
> Not included in this GSOC would be the end consumer APP, although that may be
> undertaken by another project and coordination would be needed.
