Post by: Stephen Gornick on February 26, 2011, 12:31:01 PM
This is a project that might be of interest to at least some Bitcoiners.

Former team member Brian Donovan recently open sourced the framework used to connect with bank websites and download statements in a machine-readable form.

And on slightly related note, there's another open source project that possibly might be of  interest to some here:

  BOSS Open Source Teller System
  Demo: http://oswco.com/teller
  [I don't believe the source has been released yet]

This is great news. I wonder why banks are so shitty as to not provide a simple API themselves.

Is there a list around of which banks it supports?
