I have been writing some puppeteer/node js scripts to download invoices/statements and to scrap some data from different vendors/service providers. (ATT, Spectrum, Gas, electric, etc). Pretty much all the sites are now a days single page or with tons of JavaScript with a lot of xhr requests. Those xhr requests are huge too. Loading screens everywhere. Some of the loading screens are 5-7 seconds long. And I have no luck with banks sites. They put a lot of efforts to block access.
