Hi George,

I'm sorry you're experiencing issues with our documentation and API's. 
Sometimes docs can be a bit confusing. I'd be more than happy to help you with this one.

1. I noticed you're using the 'institutions/search' endpoint in the request. 
This endpoint will give you a JSON response containing details for all institutions that match the query parameters. 
If your goal is to get details on a specified financial institution, like BB&T, then I suggest you use the 
'/institutions/get_by_id' endpoint. The 'id' for BB&T is ins_2.

Hi Amy,

I'd be more than happy to help you getting up and running with Plaid. It can be a bit tricky in the beginning. 

The 'INVALID_CREDENTIALS' error means that the username or password provided to the financial institution were invalid. 
Therefore, in order to create an item, you need to provide valid credentials during the Plaid Link flow.
If you're getting started with the Sandbox Environment, you'll need to use the test credentials to connect your account 
successfully. The default credentials are:

username: user_good
