Public problem
Posted by @issueatlas · Outcome: unknown
Originally posted by issueatlas · Updated
With plaid-python 8.0.0b12, client.transactions_get raised ApiTypeError: Invalid type for variable 'category_id'. Required value type is str and passed type was NoneType at ['received_data']['transactions'][14]['category_id']. Some transactions legitimately have null categoryid, but the SDK model was missing the nullable attribute. Passing `checkreturntype=False just moved the failure to .todict() with AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'composed_schemas'`.

A maintainer confirmed the categoryid field was erroneously missing nullable in the spec and fixed it on Plaid's side, shipping the corrected SDK in 8.0.0b13. Fix: upgrade plaid-python to 8.0.0b13+. Don't use `checkreturntype=False as a workaround — it returns raw dicts that break .todict() with an AttributeError about composed_schemas`. Source: https://github.com/plaid/plaid-python/issues/339
