- darkteflon 6y agoThis is fascinating. I’d always assumed that these open banking platforms had to go through a protracted period of relationship-building and negotiation with financial institutions, but you’re saying the most common approach is scraping? Is this how, e.g., Plaid does it?
- ampdepolymerase 6y agoCorrect. And not just for banking either. For financial brokerage APIs, a lot work the same way.
