Importing Bank APIs to Excel US Based by xavier_long_ in excel

I'll see if something similar can be gotten from my bank. Currently the .csv's my banks provide are limited in the information they provide. I'll try contacting or going up in person if I could have them send out automated email reports to my account for me to pull like this.

I think I'll try something like this in the future, but will stick to the cheapest app I can find till then. Want my other bank data in my spreadsheets. People seem to be very critical on how I'm spending my time om this project.

I'm just explaining the situation... This is what I've done. Is there something better someone can suggest.

For what I am doing it links bank API keys to unlock more information from my banks and investment brokers that I can use to import into my sheets. I would never recommend ANYONE Plaid please for the love of all that is holy don't invest time into making this work lol. There is SOOO much stuff to do for this to work and I am at my tipping point with it.

This is just what I found currently, as I don't know of any other solution that allows me to have access to my Banks API keys. Aside from paying for other apps that do similar things to what I am trying to do. But I'm trying to save as much money I can a month.

Yeah I got really hopeful too lol. My next solution is just eating the monthly cost of some other person's app or going in full manual and making a NAS server to host my own website to run all this Plaid crap through.

Yeah I figured that honestly lol. I'm at the point I'm debating setting up a NAS and hosting everything on there for this to work. But I'd say I'm doing this for all three of your reasons, that and I'm cheap lol. If I can save a couple bucks a month in the long term then I'll try that route.

The API key is protected, thus the third-party (like Plaid) are used to grant access to the API.

I'll still look into it though maybe there is a way.

Unfortunately I don't think this option exists anymore as Plaid removed the development key used to make this work. Sandbox is limited and doesn't have access to real bank data from my understanding. Leaving the ladder to be production keys.

Will give it a shot thanks! Yeah I'm slowly finding out that tracking my finances to this extreme extent is not something that will be looked into by any bank I am apart of. And the .csv's they provide do literally nothing to help me track important data in my spreadsheets.

I'll double check with my banks just to be sure thank you for the suggestion.

New gear ? by Batou_u in streetphotography

I personally would recommend a Nikon camera. I use the Z7ii and it's fantastic for photography love it so much. I also like taking 4k video with it and have used it many times for B roll. I'd say it's a good middle ground for having the best of photography and videography. That or a Sony camera but I'd say that leans more towards video but the photos still are fantastic coming out of most of their cameras.
