Any advice on how to build the API if a banking service uses 2-factor auth? Perhaps SMSing the secret number they send you back to your system (assuming you can't give your system direct access to phone number your the secret number will arrive at)?

Interesting question - I haven't had to try it yet. My scrapers are all read-only at the moment, and (afaik) none of the UK banks require two-factor in any form for that kind of operation. Potentially using Twilio (http://www.twilio.com http://www.twilio.com) you might be able to have an application which receives the two-factor request itself and handles it. It'd make the process async though, which wouldn't be ideal.
