This is absolutely fantastic. I'd pay for something that hooks into my bank account and spits out a daily number for me, no problem (especially since it doesn't suffer from the mess of housekeeping and categorizing that something like Mint does, which is my biggest complaint about that kind of software).
If you don't build it, I'll probably wind up hacking it together for myself. :)
- personjerry 11y agoI think you're either going to use Mint or Yodlee for the API as they have partnerships with the major banks, while the banks themselves don't provide the APIs, I believe.
- swsieber 11y agoOr Plaid - I think partnered with Intuit (Mint) to get support for smaller banks. They have a very simple yet great api.
- sailfast 11y agoI just stood the app up locally and started filling out the Yodlee API access request form but many of these APIs are for larger customer bases not personal finance. EDIT: This is just for German banks ignore this... Closest I could find is http://docs.figo.io/ http://docs.figo.io/ (figo.io/en) - has anyone used this? Worth grabbing a bunch of transactions? I can't see this being something I use day to day without automated spending. I'm looking to build automated spending + manual entry bills per day, week, month. EDIT: I'm going to give this a shot in the short term and see what happens, rather than writing my own scraper :) https://github.com/mrooney/mintapi https://github.com/mrooney/mintapi
