ofxparse is a parser for Open Financial Exchange (.ofx) format files. OFX files are available from almost any online banking site, so they work well if you want to pull together your finances from multiple sources. Online trading accounts also provide account statements in OFX files.
There are three different types of OFX files, called BankAccount, CreditAccount and InvestmentAccount files. This library has been tested with real-world samples of all three types. If you find a file that does not work with this library, please consider contributing the file so ofxparse can be improved. See the Help! section below for directions on how to do this.
Here's a sample program
from ofxparse import OfxParser
with codecs.open('file.ofx') as fileobj:
ofx = OfxParser.parse(fileobj)
# The OFX object
ofx.account # An Account object
# AccountType
# (Unknown, Bank, CreditCard, Investment)
# Account
account = ofx.occount
account.account_id # The account number
account.number # The account number (deprecated -- returns account_id)
account.routing_number # The bank routing number
account.branch_id # Transit ID / branch number
account.type # An AccountType object
account.statement # A Statement object
account.institution # An Institution object
# InvestmentAccount(Account)
account.brokerid # Investment broker ID
account.statement # An InvestmentStatement object
# Institution

statement = account.statement
statement.start_date # The start date of the transactions
statement.end_date # The end date of the transactions
statement.balance # The money in the account as of the statement date
statement.available_balance # The money available from the account as of the statement date
statement.transactions # A list of Transaction objects
# InvestmentStatement
statement = account.statement
statement.positions # A list of Position objects
