I would second that recommendation. A web scraper solution is captive to any random changes that the bank makes to its website - incurring a need to work on your parser before it 'works' again. Changes to bank web sites seem to come at the worst possible moment in terms of your own (develope

Dear Christian, I understand your point, but I am not actually trying to scrape a webpage but rather using an existing API of the bank to return the transactions in JSON format. In a perfect world, there would be a global standard for everyone but unfortunately in Europe banks and financial

Hi, Yes, the GnuCash AqB backend is tied to AqB. However... AqBanking is licensed under the GPL, and already has multiple modules that implement HBCI, OFX, OFX-DC, MT940, CSV, ... So, why do you feel that you couldn't add a new module to that? Do you know what online banking protocol your bank
