I'm not the only person to try this either. Github is littered with the bones of folks who tried to bank transactions accessible. So many abandoned projects. https://t.co/m4zCKOczMY
A year ago I started looking into ways to log my own bank transactions automatically. I figured "All these banks have apps. And a billion personal finance apps can log transactions. Surely these APIs are publicly available!"
Boy was I wrong.
I don't even know what my point is. I'm just mad after my latest brick wall. I don't understand why banks make this so hard. I'm my own data. I should be able to easily access it. I shouldn't have to be a vendor to get my own data.
And oh my god, UK Open Banking. I saw those efforts early on and was like "Okay! Open banking is a thing! This is totally going to work."
LOL I was so wrong. https://t.co/pFsaMZufXb
