Scrape account data from TD EasyWeb.

Primary LanguagePython

td-scraper

Get account data from TD EasyWeb to $anywhere.

Background

After moving to university, I started needing to track my expenses more carefully (for tax purposes). Unfortunately, the web portal my bank provides (TD EasyWeb) does not have the ability to edit transaction data (as far as I know). Therefore, it made sense to track this information in a spreadsheet! After a while, updating the spreadsheet got quite tedious, so I wanted a better way to get the data from TD's web portal into my spreadsheet. Since they don't provide an API, this project was born.

Usage

  1. Ensure you have docker installed.

  2. Clone the repository locally.

  3. Create a file account_details.json in the root directory, with this file format:

     {
     "username": "<your_username>",
     "password": "<your_password"
 }

    Note that the last line is not required if you don't plan on uploading the data to Google Sheets.

  4. Create a file account_types.json in the root directory, with this file format:

     {
     "<account 1 name in EasyWeb>": "<account 1 shortname>",
     "<account 2 name in EasyWeb>": "<account 2 shortname>",
 }

  5. Everything should just work now! Run make first, and assuming this succeeds, run make test to pull your data.
