One of the maintainers of KMyMoney, an open-source personal finance software. We looked into (https://invent.kde.org/office/kmymoney/-/issues/21 https://invent.kde.org/office/kmymoney/-/issues/21) leveraging one of the 3rd party aggregators like yours to allow users access their data. The conclusion was that being an open-source software was a no-no for all of them, unless we were willing to sign our binaries with certificates (that the aggregators require) and distribute the software as such. All of that obviously aside from the cost of the service itself.
Do you see if this could be made possible with Nordigen?
- dastx 6y agoFirefly III [0] solves this by making the user responsible for this. They expect you give it the necessary details (api keys etc) for Spectre, which it then uses to download transactions. Could you not do something similar? Write a small guide for users on where to register and what to do, and give them config options to put in the necessary API Keys, and then use that to download the transactional data?

- cromka 6y agoWe discussed this, but I decided it was not worth the effort for something that relies on temporary Dev accounts that are limited in functionality (no PSD2 endpoints work) and that require you lying about the purpose of such account. I don't find that ethical at all. And, again, no PSD2 endpoints.
