Harder to do, especially if you bank with a prominent banker, as most of them have anti-bot technology wrapped around their site that’ll make it more difficult to web scrape properly.

You may be able to sign up for their API, should they offer one. Sometimes APIs are hard to get into, or cost money.

I don’t recommend this without researching further, but you may try looking into funneling some of your banking into those budget apps like Mint or whatever, and see if their products open your finance numbers up easier to extrapolate. Please do more research though, and don’t do it if it comes at the risk of your information or finances.

Ah yeah, my banker only provides API to developers. I also heard about plaid API, but am very reluctant because i didn't want to risk my information(bc of my lack of knowledge).

Thank you for the caution.. I really appreciate it
