mintapi
a screen-scraping API for Mint.com.
Installation
Ensure you have Python 2 or 3 and pip (easy_install pip) and then:
pip install mintapiIf you do not want to manually find and provide your Mint session cookies, as described below, then please also install selenium and chromedriver (version 59+ if you want to use headless mode):
pip install selenium
brew cask install chromedriver # or sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver on Ubuntu/DebianUsage
from Python
From python, instantiate the Mint class (from the mintapi package) and you can
make calls to retrieve account/budget information. We recommend using the
keyring library for persisting credentials.
import mintapi
mint = mintapi.Mint(
'your_email@web.com', # Email used to log in to Mint
'password', # Your password used to log in to mint
# Optional parameters
mfa_method='sms', # Can be 'sms' (default) or 'email'.
# if mintapi detects an MFA request, it will trigger the requested method and prompt on the command line.
headless=False, # Whether the chromedriver should work without opening a
# visible window (useful for server-side deployments)
mfa_input_callback=None # A callback accepting a single argument (the prompt)
# which returns the user-inputted 2FA code. By default
# the default Python `input` function is used.
)
# Get basic account information
mint.get_accounts()

# additional API call for each account
