Monarch Money

Python library for accessing Monarch Money data.

Installation

From Source Code

Clone this repository from Git

git clone https://github.com/hammem/monarchmoney.git

Via pip

pip install monarchmoney

Instantiate & Login

There are two ways to use this library: interactive and non-interactive.

Interactive

If you're using this library in something like iPython or Jupyter, you can run an interactive-login which supports multi-factor authentication:

mm = MonarchMoney()
await mm.interactive_login()

This will prompt you for the email, password and, if needed, the multi-factor token.

Non-interactive

For a non-interactive session, you'll need to create an instance and login:

mm = MonarchMoney()
mm.login(email, password)

This may throw a RequireMFAException. If it does, you'll need to get a multi-factor token and call the following method:

mm.multi_factor_authenticate(email, password, multi_factor_code)

Alternatively, you can provide the MFA Secret Key. The MFA Secret Key is found when setting up the MFA in Monarch Money by going to Settings -> Security -> Enable MFA -> and copy the "Two-factor text code". Then provide it in the login() method:

await nm.login(
        email=email,
        password=password,
        save_session=False,
        use_saved_session=False,
        mfa_secret_key=mfa_secret_key,
    )

As of writing this README, the following methods are supported:

  • get_accounts - all the accounts linked to Monarch Money
  • get_account_holdings - all of the securities in a brokerage or similar type of account
  • get_subscription_details - the Monarch Money account's status (e.g. paid or trial)
  • get_transactions - transaction data, defaults to returning the last 100 transactions; can also be searched by date range
  • get_transaction_categories all of the categories configured in the account
  • get_transaction_tags - all of the tags configured in the account
  • get_cashflow - cashflow data (by category, category group, merchant and a summary)
  • get_cashflow_summary - cashflow summary (income, expense, savings, savings rate)

Contributing

Any and all contributions -- code, documentation, feature requests, feedback -- are welcome!

If you plan to submit up a pull request, you can expect a timely review. There aren't any strict requirements around the environment you need to configure aside from using Black to auto-format the code. An action is configured in this repo to run against all PRs and merges and will block them from being committed.

FAQ

How do I use this API if I login to Monarch via Google?

If you currently use Google or 'Continue with Google' to access your Monarch account, you'll need to set a password to leverage this API. You can set a password on your Monarch account by going to your security settings.

Don't forget to use a password unique to your Monarch account and to enable multi-factor authentication!
