Library for working with Open Financial Exchange (OFX)formatted data used by financial institutions
Project description
ofxtools is a Python library for working with Open Financial Exchange (OFX)
data - both OFXv1 (SGML) and OFXv2 (pure XML) - which is the standard format
for downloading financial information from banks and stockbrokers.
ofxtools has no external dependencies beyond stdlib, and is compatible with
Python version 2.6+ (including Python 3).
The primary faclities provided include:
* The OFXClient class; which dowloads OFX statements from the Internet
* The OFXParser class; which parses OFX data into a standard ElementTree
structure for further processing in Python.
* The OFXResponse class; which validates and converts OFX data parsed by
OFXParser into Python types and exposes them through more Pythonic
attribute access (e.g. OFXResponse.statements[0].ledgerbal)
INSTALLATION
Use the Python user installation scheme:
`python setup.py install --user`
In addition to the Python package, this will also install a script 'ofxget'
in ~/.local/bin, and a sample configuration file in ~/.config/ofxtools
BASIC USAGE TO DOWNLOAD OFX:
1) Copy ~/.config/ofxtools/ofxget_example.cfg to ~/.config/ofxtools/ofxget.cfg and edit.
Add a section for your financial institution, including URL,
account information, login, etc.
See comments within.
2) Execute ofxget with appropriate arguments, e.g.
`# ofxget amex stmt -s 20140101 -e 20140630 > foobar.ofx`
See the --help for explanation of the script options
PARSER USAGE EXAMPLE
>>> from ofx import OFXTree
>>> tree = OFXTree()
>>> tree.parse('foobar.ofx')
>>> response = tree.convert()
>>> response

>>> stmt = response.statements[0]
